What computers do you think all those iOS apps get built on?
- zrobotics 8y agoBut if Apple decides the laptop market isn't worth it vs. IPhone/iPad, then I see no reason for them to continue requiring a Mac to develop iOS apps. Android apps can be developed on systems other than chromebooks, and it's even possible to compile a Linux elf binary from windows (although I don't know why you would want to). At this point, Apple is expending a lot of effort maintaining a desktop OS, and significant effort designing the hardware. If they weren't making adequate money on that portion of their business, then I see no technical reason to continue to require a Mac to develop for iOS.
