I'd love to try and see if it's possible to simply build for iOS. Say Unity, React Native, etc. This could be pretty awesome in terms of freedom, even if the build takes 5x more.

I did this. I had to share my USB port over Docker somehow (black magic I guess, instructions in the repo) and I was able to build iOS apps and run them on an iPhone.

  What was the speed like?

    For a basic Flutter app: tolerable

That would impressive if you could build for React Native iOS (with native Swift modules) and run it on a simulator in this on a Windows machine

  At glacial speeds, indubitably.

  you can! you can also run it on a real iOS device using this tech. it's explicitly documented in the repo :)

Cross-compiling is likely a better approach: https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross This is how Godot targets iOS: https://github.com/godotengine/build-containers/blob/main/Dockerfile.ios https://github.com/godotengine/build-containers/blob/main/Do... Here's a Docker image with the tools preinstalled, though you'll need some tweaks to target iOS: https://github.com/shepherdjerred/macos-cross-compiler https://github.com/shepherdjerred/macos-cross-compiler While at RStudio (now called Posit), I worked on cross-compiling C/C++/Fortran/Rust on a Linux host targeting x86_64/aarch64 macOS. If you download an R package with native code from Posit Package Manager (https://p3m.dev/client/ https://p3m.dev/client/), it was cross-compiled using this approach :)
