    I was hoping for a technical explanation.
    I can cross-compile on Linux to Windows.
    Why must i develop for Mac on a Mac?

      You can develop the app (as in write the code) on any platform but Apple made it so iOS apps can only be compiled from Apple devices. There’s no particular technical reason I’m aware of just they’ve designed their proprietary compiler that way and haven’t released it cross platform.
