If you truly want to be _coding_ on an iPad - and executing what you code - I think the options you have are the following: * Use a 3rd party service like ReplIt (https://replit.com https://replit.com) or Code Anywhere (https://codeanywhere.com/pricing https://codeanywhere.com/pricing). These are fine, and have native iOS apps used to connect to their services as well. * Pay for a cloud instance and use an SSH tool to connect to it. The downside to these two options (depending on your needs) is that you are pretty much just targeting Linux and building CLI apps. But that may be totally fine for you. Personally, I pay $60/year for SplashTop (https://www.splashtop.com https://www.splashtop.com), setup a SplashTop server on my home computer, and then use the iOS client to connect to the my home computer and continue programming. And I get the benefit of being able to do other things as well (like playing Steam games) if I want. Edit: similar to SplashTop, you could also - if interested in Windows - pay for a Shadow PC (https://shadow.tech https://shadow.tech) and connect to that.
