Create apps using Flutter without Mac and iPhone?

Question

I don't have a Mac and an iPhone. How can I make applications using my windows laptop for coding and without an iPhone for trying to run/debug the app? What are the best steps for me??

Notes: I have made several applications for android and web using flutter.

Thanks...

You cannot build a flutter iOS app directly from Windows. What you can do is use external tools to do it. One of these tools is Odevio (https://github.com/Odevio/Odevio-CLI. It's a tool that let you access remote MacOS build machines.

It's pretty easy to use :

First install it by visiting the website, https://odevio.com/

Then setup your Apple Developer account with Odevio : https://odevio-cli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/6_configure_app_store_connect.html

Finally you can build the app and retrieve the IPA in the build section by creating an Ad Hoc build.

And that's it.
