Developing app for iOS is expensive.

    Nah, that's bullshit. They could easily do it with a free VM and the iOS simulator in xCode. Only thing they really need is the €100 apple developer subscription.

    Isn't it possible to develop Crossplatform applications (including iOS) with C# ? 🤔

    @AdrienNini Yes, but you still need a mac to compile, test and ship from (if I'm not mistaken).

    @AdrienNini to deploy you need xcode, if you want, you can use a pirated version of MacOS inside a vm, but if you want to remain legit you have to buy a Mac.

    @domresc @delegate212 Yep right, forgot about that. That's why I find PWA's much easier

    @domresc I’ve been trying to find a macos image for years in the past with no success

    @devTea I have a friend who has a vm with macOS installed on it, I can ask him where he found the image if you want

    @AdrienNini would love to know where you can get a VM Mac os image.....

    The developer should consider making this a "contest" to see who has the stronger support: Apple fans or haters.

    Post it everywhere, ask people to support "their side" your know, show their support against the enemy. I guarantee he will have $2000 on each donation bar in one day.

    @devTea @NULLmaster @jeeper unfortunately he doesn’t have the image he used anymore and the video where he got the image got deleted. But he sent me this but he didn’t tried this one.

    Yea, had to buy a Mac recently just to test and compile our react native app for iOS. Seriously, fuck Apple. I only touch that Mac when I am required to.

    No need for a Pro though, a Mac Mini will do, as long as you don't use it for anything else. If you do, you best put some RAM in it. Xcode eats more than Chrome!

    @AdrienNini I use the one you posted and can confirm it works fine.
