Hello beautiful people, I’m a computer science student. I’m going to start my app development journey. I’ve a little bit of knowledge about java script and have researched react native, which can be used to develop cross platform apps. But a question arises in my mind, if I make an app in VS Code then how can I test the iOS version of it on my windows PC?
 
I don't think you can? I thought one of the restrictions for iOS development was you needed to build and test on Apple hardware.

Hey, I have researched about it, I found that I can code on VS Code but for compiling, testing, and debugging the iOS version, we need Xcode. But Xcode is native to Apple and only runs in macOS, so I found a way in which we can install the Xcode on windows PC with the help of virtualbox. I'm going to try this out and will see if it works or not.
