1 So I have windows, but if I want to build my game for ios and test it in my iphone, can I do it? Or do I need forcefully a Mac? Thanks... I know that to publish it in the app store I do need a mac and XCode tho... I just want to test in my iphone.
4 Answer by Chik3r · May 01, 2018 at 10:20 PM From Windows (no VM): No, you can't build for iPhone in Windows. Because
after you "build" it in Unity, you have to build it in XCode which is only available on Mac. So you can use a VM for Mac to build?

Follow this QuestionRelated QuestionsMy unity application is developed for iOS devices, but for some reason at this moment I have only Windows PC. I searched around and found similar information, but not clear for what I want. My query is I will do development of the game in Windows PC using C#. Then will build and deploy to iOS device using MAC. Is that possible? I like to make sure. asked Oct 12, 2017 at 10:06
4 I have made several Unity3D projects for iOS using a Windows. When installing Unity, don't forget to check "iOS deployment" and your Unity (on Windows) will be able to build an Xcode project. Then, just transfer this Xcode project on a Mac with Xcode installed and you will be able to compile the project in order to be run on your iOS device. Note : I just have to run answered Oct 12, 2017 at 10:22

Their server will build it either from your own repo (git, svn, etc) or you can use their Collaborate feature by going into the unity editor -> services -> collaborate on. Before getting to use Unity Cloud to build for iOS, you will need to generate your certificates just as you do when building using XCode. On the config page you can choose the version of unity you want the build to use, the version of xcode and if you want Unity to build your game on every push ( auto-build). As far as I know when building for ios the ipa will have a ridiculous size. If you encounter this problem please refer to the following link: how to disable bitecode Even though Unity allows us to use their system to build for any platform, in order to upload your *.ipa to app store you will need to do it through application loader. answered Oct 12, 2017 at 12:33

Can you build iOS games in Unity?Can You Make iOS Games with Unity? Yes, absolutely. It offers the infrastructure and accessibility iPhone developers dream of. If we were to describe Unity's approach to supporting various platforms, it would be “something for everyone”.
Can Unity publish to iOS?There are a few steps you need to take to set up your app before you can publish from Unity. iOS apps need to have a certificate assigned to a bundle identifier, which in turn needs to be assigned to the app. In the steps below, we'll set up this certificate and identifier.
Can I run Xcode on Windows?Xcode is only made for Mac OS X. So if you only have a Windows-based PC, you will have to use some workarounds to run Xcode. And if you want to build iPhone apps or desktop applications for Mac OS X, you may need access to a Mac OS X computer.
Is Xcode required for Unity?You'll also need to have Xcode, which is the program used to build iOS apps. To download it, you'll need to open up the App Store application on your computer.
