Do I need a Mac to develop and publish iOS Apps (Xamarin or MAUI)

[speakreveal]

Hi all,

Basically, I'm looking at whether or not I can trim down my number of devices - I've got a MacBook Air M1 and a Surface Book 2 i7/16GB. This is not a cheddar-saving exercise, it's an attempt to reduce the amount of stuff I have and need to look after / keep secure, etc.

I 100% need access to Windows and Visual Studio one way or another, emulating on the MacBook Air isn't feasible day-to-day as VS doesn't work well enough under Windows on ARM for me. pros and cons of xamarin

I'm toying with the idea of going down to just a Windows 11 device, but will that prevent me from being able to end-to-end develop a Xamarin Forms / MAUI app and get it deployed to the Apple App Stores? I know I can do Windows and Android just fine from Windows on its own pros and cons of xamarin.

The alternative idea I was toying with was to just keep the MacBook and use Windows 365 to develop on Windows in the cloud - Fully aware of the downside of having to be online at the time etc. (A local VM w/ Windows could run VS in an extreme pinch on those rare occasions I don't have a connection).




I prefer the Windows OS (but appreciate the benefits of both), the MacBook Air has insane battery life to performance ratio - A new Windows device would be faster than my Surface Book but could also replace my iPad Pro (Again, not really looking here for opinions on how iPad is totally different to a Windows device w/ pen or tablet mode - I only use my iPad Pro for OneNote and iMovie - But have a cheaper iPad in the house that can do the basic iMovie stuff I'm interested in)

Of course, I could just keep both types of laptop and continue as I am - I just prefer the idea of not having multiple devices, especially 2x laptops that are the same form factor
