- scarface74 8y agoHow is it “Apple’s policy”? Apple chooses not to write a tool chain for Windows or Linux. If a third party once to make one, they are free to do so. The post I was responding to said “it was against Apple’s TOS”, probably referring to a policy that was rescinded back in 2011. There is a big difference between Apple not allowing something and Apple not supporting something. I choose to write native apps for the platforms I care about. If I wanted to use Xamarin I could.
- esrauch 8y agoTo make a build of a xaramin app for publishing to the iOS store dont you need a Mac at least for one stage? It looks like you do under the "Archive for Publishing" section here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app-distribution/app-store-distribution/publishing-to-the-app-store?tabs=vswin https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app... It's also against ToS to virtualize OSX on non-Mac hardware as far as I know. I don't think they are just doing that for fun.
