Therefore, Smartface is like Xcode on Windows for iOS and Android development. Xcode requires the use of Swift or Objective-C for iOS development, but with Smartface, you can use JavaScript for native apps. You cannot develop native Android applications with Xcode using Java, but with Smartface, you can develop iOS and Android applications with a single JavaScript codebase. Smartface offers a legitimate and easy solution for your Xcode for Windows worries and even offers features that are not available in Xcode. Moreover, Apple forbids running Mac OS on non-Apple hardware and the approaches described are directly against Apple software license. If you are not an advanced user, this approach is not recommended just for iOS development on Windows. Especially iOS simulator of Xcode may be troublesome to run. For instance, your graphics card or wireless adapter may lack a kext and you may be required to run your hackintosh with a low-performace generic graphics kext or without a network connection. You can run a Mac OS virtual machine.īoth approaches require a great deal of technical effort and there may be compatibility or performance issues. The second approach for Mac on PC is to use virtual machines like VirtualBox or Vmware Workstation. The first one is “hackintosh” approach, which means running Mac OS on non-Apple x86/圆4 PCs by using custom kernels, kexts (drivers) and EFI bootloaders like Chameleon or Clover to load Mac OS on a Windows PC. Please note that Smartface does not endorse such practices and they are available only for information purposes. There are some unofficial and unsupported ways to run Mac OS on PC. Therefore, Xcode for Windows is desirable to develop apps with Swift or Objective-C on Windows. However, Xcode requires Mac OS and MacBooks, iMacs and other Macs are not that affordable compared to Windows PCs. As the demand for iPhone and iPad apps is increasing every day, more people want to use Xcode to develop mobile apps for iOS.
