iPhones are an absolute joke. I am not paying 100s of dollars for the privilege of developing software for my own hardware.

That is not necessary since a while ago (Xcode 7).

Where's the Windows or Linux version of Xcode 7, then? Or a version of OSX licensed to run on the capable hardware that I already own? I suppose I could spend $500 on a Mac Mini, but then we're back to tokenizerrr's question.

Oh? Where do I find the docs and the download link? It has to run on Linux laptop or my Windows desktop, both which have perfectly capable hardware. I am not buying a Mac for the privilege of developing software for an iPhone.

On the Apple developer website, when you make a free dev account.

And yes, it is mac only. But they are a mac company.

I'd gladly run the free developer copy of mac os on my perfectly capable hardware if that is what they desire I use. Something like https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/v...

A Hackintosh is perfectly viable. Assuming you can boot the installer(free from the Mac App Store), it's trivial to set up the necessary bootloader and extensions(certainly easier that making Windows dual boot nicely).

This is legal?
