Just in case someone didn't know.. you can rent a Mac in a cloud and develop for iOS platform.

Its 20$ per month so its cheaper than buying a mac. ;)

There also iOS app testing service here : https://testflightapp.com/

Thanks!

Or you buy a Mac OS for $25 and install it on any Intel hardware.

Yeah but you breaking the EULA of Apple. I was giving legal solutions. ;) Through "Legal" is a strong word. I would call this more like "Permissive work around apple policy restriction" solutions. However i am pretty sure they have a way to know you build it on an intel machine which can cause your app to be refused. Maybe its hardcoded somewhere in your app build. Don't mess with Apple. :)

What companies say in EULA's and what is legal in your country are often different.

There are some really good Mac hosting services coming out of the woodworks, but what I really would like to see is something like trigger.io which exposes an API which you can use from the browser or commandline to just compile your projects in the cloud without having to wield xcode (or eclipse) yourself. We are looking to pay someone to make that for us, but we didn't find anyone who dares to do it :)
