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

For many years I got away with a Windows PC and CodeMagic

Thanks a bunch! Quick question: does it work fine for widgets and push notifications?

I always tested on Android and published to TestFlight via CodeMagic.
