Guys, I’m programming an RN app in windows and I don’t have Macbook but I have an iphone and I would like to test the app on the device, how could I proceed?

I saw some comments of having access to a mac virtually, but this would be the best option currently? if yes, which site indicate to do this?

It would not be possible to continue programming in windows, emulating on own computer an android system and switch testing on my iPhone device?

Thank you

Unfortunately that would not be possible.

One of the alternatives, as you yourself mentioned, would be to rent a Mac. One of the websites that allows to do this would be the following.

If you already have Apple’s developer account (which is paid for annually), you can create your applicationsjoin the Apple Store (without publishing) and share with some people through Testflight. This way you can download to your device and test. But, to test during development, you can use the emulator available in Xcode.

If you want to create apps for IOS and Android with React Native, the ideal is to do everything on Mac. Switching between systems is very laborious.

Some people create a virtual machine on Windows using Virtualbox and install Mac OS on it. Although it works, this is not recommended.
