- Bartweiss 10y agoI knew a bunch of people developing for iOs in college who took this road. They used some university Macs to publishing, but did their dev work on Hackintosh to avoid spending all day in a musty computer lab. It worked quite well, barring the usual issue of Hackintosh being a bit flaky. If you had to buy a machine to publish on it would be a bit less appealing, but picking up an old Mac on Craigslist sounds worth it to develop as you like and publish 'legitimately'.
- toosmart4u12 10y agoBeen there, tried that. The problem is that every time there is an update, you are forced to update XCode and therefore OS X. This means reformatting and doing the setup all over again (which can take quite a bit of trial and error depending on your hardware).
