- ChrisMarshallNY 6y agoI do native Apple development. Xcode is required. Other tools (like AppCode) require Xcode tools, “under the hood.”
- aj3 6y agoYou’re right, but we’re talking about hacks here, right? Technically you can compile iOS stuff on Linux or jailbreaked iOS, all you need is clang and apple toolchain. Examples: https://github.com/theos/theos/wiki https://github.com/theos/theos/wiki or https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port/ https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port/
- messe 6y agoIf you're going down that route, a VPS is an alternative (albeit more expensive) option. Blink shell is a great ssh/mosh client, and code-server makes for a great IDE. Blink shell: https://blink.sh/ https://blink.sh/ code-server: https://github.com/cdr/code-server https://github.com/cdr/code-server
- mark_l_watson 6y ago+1 for Blink and a good VPS. For testing big builds or anything you want some power for, a good way to go when you need portability.
