Older Macs won't support the latest OSX and XCode.
I'd look at MacinCloud or something similar if you have good bandwidth. $50 / month for 24x7 online access to a Mac isn't bad at all and they have pay-as-you-go for about $1/hour. I haven't tried them, but I think I've even seen people claiming to do iOS development there using an iPad (+keyboard) as their physical interface. You can get a few friends with iDevices to join Testflight for free physical testing.

- lorenzopicoli 13y agoI had the chance to do this 1 year ago and it's usable (not as good as a real computer) but I think it would be a pain (not worth) to develop an app in a Virtual Machine
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoHaving looked in to the possibility of virtualising - ie Hackintosh running on virtualbox - it seems it works but you need an Intel processor (with VT-x) in the host machine.
