iOS Question Program for iOS without Mac and without iPhone (hackintosh)

[Sergio Haurat]

Has anyone tried using B4I (I recently bought the license) on a hackintosh PC? I don't have a Mac and I don't have an iPhone either, I installed on a Lenovo i5 notebook a version of MacOS Ventura 13.5 from Olarila, I connected to the App Store with my Apple id, downloaded XCode and some iOS versions for the simulator without any problem. I can't install the B4I Bridge, I'm stuck on it, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the simulator or because it's hackintosh. I have reached the step of getting the UDID as seen below

UDID: 0e24e12101c65e879303d64b7de2d36200000000
IMEI:
PRODUCT VERSION/OS: iPhone10,4
/ 20E247
SERIAL NUMBER: SN1234567890

I would like to know of the experience of someone with these same conditions and if they succeeded.

Apple Eco system is all about investment.
I currently use B4i on windows + hosted Builder + iphone.

This is how easy it can get. I will encourage you to do the same.
Note: Even with B4i Running on Mac, you still need iPhone to test some features like camera

@mcqueccu, I understand that investment in an iPhone will be necessary. I have a project, which was originally designed for Android only. Now they also want it on iPhone. What is the hardware that I should acquire at least, it is not my intention to invest in a 14 at this time.

This works without devices!​

2 things to keep in mind

1. If B4iBuildServer says: "Failed to find xcode version"

Run this command in a terminal

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

2 If when trying to compile, you get an error message like the following:

You must go to Main and change the #MinVersion number to the minimum reported in the previous error, in this case, you must change 8 to 11

Here the image that certifies that B4I always works

Back to front.

- Windows 11 B4I
- AnyDesk connected to my PC with Hackintosh
- B4IBildServer
- iOS Simulator
- Application

And you need an iphone to compile for the store release

Surely, for the moment I can make the necessary changes from B4A to B4I in my project and go test it until "Simulator" allows me.
