Comment on I just released my first fully free Android game: Wandering Alchemist (GPS walking game)
Vlyn@lemmy.zip 2 hours agoNo plans yet, I might look into that in the future.
I’d rather focus on bringing it to iOS, having a few people who already asked for it. Not an Apple fan, so still thinking about getting an old used iPhone for testing…

You can probably emulate iOS in xcode but you are unlikely to build anything for it without MacOS and xcode. Yeah, lovely environment.

Yes, you need a Mac for XCode (can’t emulate that). Then you also need to pay Apple $99 a year, even if you just want to release a free app.
I could simulate an iPhone for testing, but for a GPS game this would be messy. Even on Android I’m still struggling a bit with getting GPS to work reliably. You pretty much need a real phone to test that :-/
