[QUOTE="b34r, post: 953034, member: 133535"] Hi Guys, I hope this is in the right forum - I didn't see much dev-related stuff in the iPhone section. I apologize if I've misplaced this. I've been toying with the idea of developing iPhone apps recently - got some ideas that should be fun and it has the potential to be a little gold mine if I do my work properly. My dilemma is this: I'm currently running an OSX virtual machine on my PC, just to get my feet wet with the osx platform, learn the dev tools, all that. I know the legality of that setup is questionable to begin with, but please humor me. My real question is this: Do I need a proper Mac to compile my app on before I submit it to Apple, or can I get away with using a VM for now, (with a proper iPhone developers license, of course) and - hopefully - buy a mac with the proceeds of said app? Thanks in advance for any help and advice :) _b34r [/QUOTE]
