C0D4681454yAfraid not,
you'll need Xcode regardless of language or tools you use to build your app to actually deploy it to a device.
Welcome to Apple where, that's a $1000 phone, $2000+ Mac + $99 / year subscri... license I mean license, and breaking changes in every update, and then your expected to make a profit.
I though xaramin Would have helped, but once you get into it's finer print, it's useless without a Mac. -
C0D4681454y@frogstair I did look down that path, but it's too much effort to bother, and you still need a Mac 😅🤷♂️

C0D4681454y@frogstair if Apple did one thing right (wrong) it was make a premium to use their hardware, then make a premium to develop for their hardware.
The less you pay, the harder your life becomes. -
I think only option I have is to just get a friend's machine on remote and build my app! #lockdown
Thanks @frogstair @C0D4 @ilikeglue @WeAreMany
