do we need a Mac device to create ipa file from windows machine?

Question

Do we need a mac device to create ipa file and install right away to iPhone device just like for android apk?

Thank you,

Answer 1

Yes, we still need a mac to generate the ipa file .

Because before the step we need to select the provisioning profile , which is only accessible once connecting to mac.

Refer to Creating an IPA from visual Studio for windows.
