Hi, planning to do iOS release next year. It's built in React Native, so should be easy in theory, only thing is that don't have a have personal OSX laptop (required for publishing) nor Apple developer account at the moment.

Your not the first to ask for it, so I guess I'll have to figure it out.

> $10 if it could export UML or some kind of XML definition

Interesting. One of the features I plan to work on this week is export & import of source files. My first plan is to 'brute force' it, and export a .json file with a attributes for each cell in the grid. But could also be yml, or even XML I guess.

Last time I made a react native app I used https://www.macincloud.com/ to publish on iOS. I'm not affiliated and haven't used them in about 3 years though. It was a little bit of hassle but cheaper than buying a mac in the short term.

My wife is buying a new laptop, hope to be able to nudge her in the direction of Macbook Air.

I do actually have one in my possession for day-job, but don't want to mix private projects on that laptop.

Used mac minis are your friend when it comes to having an Apple box just to build releases!

The reason I mentioned UML/XML are because those are the languages used by most popular wireframing apps for cross compatibility - if you do decide to add that feature, I would look into how they implement it specifically and it will probably save you a lot of work too!

Thanks for the tips.

> that don't have a have personal OSX laptop (required for publishing) nor Apple developer account at the moment.

So you don't need a developer account for development. If you use the same icloud account that's on the phone (I use an iPhone SE original edition), you can login to XCode and deploy your app to your phone for 7 days I believe. Great for development.

You're SOL on the Macbook though, ask around, maybe you have a buddy that can loan you one (or get a cheapo used macbook air with a busted display or something)
