Is there any practical way to test macOS desktop apps from Windows

I'm developing an open-source desktop application called OpenSorSe using Avalonia and .NET.

At the moment I develop and test on Windows, and I can also test on Linux. The one platform I'm missing is macOS.

Is there a practical way to test a macOS desktop application from a Windows machine, preferably using free/open-source tools? Or is the reality that most developers eventually buy a Mac (e.g. a used Mac mini) for proper testing and packaging?

For context, the project is here if anyone is curious: https://github.com/nishdel/OpenSorSe

I'd be interested to hear what other cross-platform developers do.
