Dear Tom’s Hardware Community
Since late last year, I have been learning to code and would now like to make the next step and perhaps program some apps which I would put on the App Store + Play Store.
I’m unsure about Android, but from research I have done, I have found out that in order to program for iOS, you have to have a Mac as applications like Xcode will only work on them (apparently?).
Since I recently built a gaming rig (which runs on Windows), buying a Mac is not really an option for me.
I determined that what would be best would be to install the Apple OS (which costs £14 from the official Apple Website- much less than a Mac!!) on my PC.
I asked about how to go about this properly at an Apple Store, and truth be told, they weren’t very sure.
I simply want to install the Mac OS onto the SSD on my PC, in the identically simple way I did it with Windows 7 (from a disk).
I’ve heard of people using emulators, but to be honest, I just want to get it installed properly and fully as a second operating system for my PC.
How would I do something like this? Would installing the Apple OS allow me to program the apps? Would I have support from Apple if something stopped working?
Also, how does the uploading of apps to these various stores work?
All help is greatly appreciated
