I want to write an application targeted at both iOS and Android. Is it possible to develop a React Native app on Windows using a network connected Mac? For example, using Visual Studio Code on Windows and debugging on a network connected Mac?
I'm using Atom and IDE to make react-native app.
To test on iOS, maybe you could use this but the best would be to have a iPhone with you, to install your app and use Code Push to auto update the app on your phone. The other solution would be to install an macOS Emulator on your computer.

Currently developing an Expo project on Windows computer using Visual Studio Code, and I want to simulate the project with iOS simulator on my Mac computer on which I have already installed XCode and iOS simulator. However, as the project is saved on my Windows computer, there is no way to run it on my mac computer unless I copy the project to the Mac computer. My question is if it is possible to start a simulator for the project run on a different computer on the same network? In this specific case, I want to run the project on my Windows, and simulate it with iOS simulator on my Mac. Is there any way to do this?
Its better if you just transfer your React Native code to your Mac or just use usb and transfer through Dropbox or P-Cloud. but to answer your question i don't really know much about firewall but if you disable firewall you can get the ip or url and you can go to your mac and go to that link...
But i really suggest for you not to do it because other people can go to your link as well and hackers can hack you...
I really recommend to just transfer your react native code instead...
You can just run your expo project in tunnel mode and connect manually via the connection string to your IOS simulator running on your mac.
I have build a project in react-native, for now I am testing the android app by using Expo Client App. I am using Visual Code in Ubuntu 18.04.
So the problem is, now I want to test the project for IOS, but unfortunately i can't test the app, because I don't have MAC OS.
Can anyone tell me the alternative solution of testing react-native project on IOS?
And if somehow there is a solution of creating IPA,then can I use that IPA in IOS without uploading it in AppStore?
You can use snack :
Snack lets you run complete react native project in a web browser,you can set it up on your local machine directly use it from snack.io which also let's you test for android and ios as well
I'd like to know how I can develop using linux (for example debian 9) and use my iPhone to see what I am developing.
I don't want to use macOS to do this and the best would be to see the result under Android and iOS without simulator, directly on phones.
Thanks for help !
If you want to stuck with Linux OS. You can test you app on android variant only (on both emulator or physical device)
In order to test your app on iOS you need to have a mac machine to generate / build the project.
If you don't have a mac system you can go with Expo SDK.
Expo is a free and open source toolchain built around React Native to help you build native iOS and Android projects using JavaScript and React.
You can easily get started here
I am new in react-native. I want to build an android and iOS application by using react-native. I used the Windows 10 to build the react-native project and it is ok when I run the android app using Android SDK or real device but cannot on iOS devices. I have researched this problem and know that I need to use macOS to run the iOS apps. Is it possible to build iOS apps using any iOS simulator on Windows 10?
for exporting ios apps you must have a MAC system(X-code) or you can do it in windows with VMvare that have a virtual Mac system ,and in next step you must have a developer account then other steps are simple :)
The best way to develop in react native if you did not have access to MAC OSX environment is to use EXPO as it will ensured the app could run on android and iOS.
The second option would be using private cloud Mac like MacStadium.
I have a Windows-machine and would like to use React Native for developing cross-platform UWP (so no Expo) and iOS apps. I also have a MacBook that I would like to use as a build host, like you can do with Xamarin.
Can remote build and iOS simulation with XCode be done using React Native and if so, how?
You can use Jenkins to turn your Mac in a build server. If you need the simulator you could use a screen sharing program like VNC.
