Developing for iOS on Windows: How To

[anonymous_user_e1e14d82]

Can this be done entirely on Windows? Like buy a copy of Mac Os and put it in a Virtual Machine running on Windows. Has anyone done that?

Yes, it works on a VM, since it’s all done by running stuff via command-line under the hood. UE4 itself won’t run on a VM, however. Even the CrashReporter crashes.

I’m not entirely sure, but its not straight forward to run Mac OS X on a Virtual Machine. Technically its against the license, and usually you need a modified/pirated version of it. At least the last time I checked. Of course, if your ok with all of that, it should work as long as your computer can reach the server and handle running both OSes at the same time. It might just be easier to get a Mac Mini though, and use that. Since your not running the editor on it, it doesn’t need to be a beastly machine.

The license allows you to run OSX on a VM as long as you run in on Mac hardware, so you can bootcamp into Windows and use OSX on a VM to compile stuff. VMWare is perfectly capable of running OSX, as long as it can verify you are on a Mac.
