Q1- Moving from cross platform app development to native iOS development

I am a react native developer and now, I want to upskill myself to become a native iOS developer.

I have already started learning the basics of swift- syntax and how it works by installing swift and swift extension in vs code on my windows system. Now, I want to move to app development but it requires xCode which works only on macOS.

Since I am a windows user and more familiar with VS code, is there any way through which I can do iOS development with VS code only?

Hey, thank you for your reply. I’ve figured out a method to install xcode on my PC, and I’ll code on VS Code and for compiling and debugging use xcode. I also have checked the services that you mentioned here, but they are looking expensive to me and I’ll need it for a long time.

I don’t think you can do everything on VS Code, although you can write code on VS Code, but for compiling and debugging, you need Xcode. You can use cloud services like macincloud to do this or you can also consider buying an old m1 mac.

Tell us about your experience. I’ve been in a similar situation myself. I loved Linux and did all my development on it, but I also wanted to use Xcode, and there was no way to run it on Linux. At the time, I had an old Mac that I used occasionally, and I wished I could run Xcode on my main Linux machine.
