I have a Mac and I have an Apple Developer account.

Please advice me. What steps should I take?

Hi Mykita!

You can find instructions how to use remote connection from Windows to Mac here: Windows -> iOS Rsync/Remote Build Guide (4.8) - Mobile - Epic Developer Community Forums

Hope it will help you!

Hi DNA! Nice to see you again!
Thanks for your reply. I also did some research in the meanwhile and I found this:

iOS for Windows Users

Those guides seemed a little easier to follow, but would it work the same way as in the guide you provided? Thanks

Indeed it also should works good!

I followed your guide, but I am stuck as I try the following:

5. In the same tab, find the Remote Build Options (tiny hidden arrow)
   5a) Enter the Remote Server Name (Computer name of the Mac)
   5b) Enter the Remote User Name (User name of the Mac)
   5c) Press the [Generate SSH Key] button
   5d) Enter Yes into the terminal
   5e) Enter the password of the Mac computer
   5f) Press Enter twice to enter an empty passphrase
   5g) Enter the password of the Mac computer again

Please take a look at my situation:

What am I doind wrong as I get permission denied?

PS. I might have entered something in the passphrase by a mistake. Is there ANY way to retrive my passphrase or to generate a new one?

You put in your password of your Mac(book) account you are using for remote control once, then when it’s basically “allowed” in the windows terminal you leave 2 times blank. Keep in mind when you are in a network server (let’s say at a company, everyone can access the account you are using (Windows)), put the file you created for Remote Server on a usb and link it from there, else it’s not too secure and it will say it’s “too far away”. Another thing that can solve your problem is opening the launcher as admin.

Thanks, but I must have done this process wrong as permission keep gets denied (typo or something). Is there any way to delete the remote “My-Computer.local” and reset the passphrase and start the process over?

In the picture I attached below. Is the first line the password for the macbook, and the second and the third line for the passphrase? This doesn’t match with the guide provided by UE:

1. Enter the password which belongs to the user you specified in Remote User Name.
2. The prompts will ask you to enter a passphrase. We recommend not specifying a passphrase so that it can be used without requiring user interaction.
3. You will then be prompted to enter the password for the user name again to complete the process.
