Need a Mac on Cloud for iPhone development

Question

Is there any possible that I can have Mac for my iPhone apps development in MS- cloud? Something like remote Desktop and all. ? Please suggest me, how to have it.

Answer 1

Hi, currently only Windows Server is supported in Windows Azure. You have to buy a MacBook or iMac yourself, or find a third party that offers remote Mac machines.

In addition, it is recommended to do development locally. Even if you have a remote machine, you will encounter some issues. For example, you will have a difficult time to deploy the project to a real iPhone device. And due to lacking of hardware accellaration in most remote desktop solutions, the emulator may run very slowly.

Maybe a little bit late, I was searching for the same and found this. Have a look:

* I didn't try myself yet and searching for others if any.

PS: Gideros studio works quite well with its own player locally (downside you need to do with Lua)
