I don't think you'll find a way to seamlessly build native iOS apps from Windows. Visual Studio has a great development environment for iOS apps but the compilation still has to happen on a Mac. It's more difficult for developers, but Apple tightly controls their entire stack.
And for all of you on the thread who say Windows is a disaster for developers, I'd love to chat with you. I'm the guy for the MSVC C++ front end and code analysis. Either PM me or mail me: my work address is apardoe at youknowthecompany.com
- kevincox 10y ago> but Apple tightly controls their entire stack More like Apple wants you to use their computers. If it was legal I'm sure Microsoft would have figured out how to compiler iOS apps in Visual Studio. It's not magic, it's just obscured and prevented through legalese.
- apardoe-MSFT 10y agoI can either be charitable or accusatory :) It's not so obscure as to how one might run Xcode tools on another Unix-like OS. It's just illegal. Apple tightly controls their entire stack.
