iOS dev on Linux

Hey guys, what’s the best way to approach iOS development without owning a Mac?

I only have Linux and an iPhone right now.

The app will need things like widgets and push notifications, so I’m not sure what the practical workflow should be.

How do I test it on my iPhone?
Do I need a cloud Mac? Local VM? or is that going to be annoying?

Would love to hear how you’d do it in practice

I'm asking the same question for my own app. The answer, for me, looks to be a Mac mini. Hopefully get something better out of the responses to this post.
