It is the only thing I could find on the web that says it can deploy on the iPhone without a Mac

Toughts?

 

Yes, you can use Unity Cloud Build and TestFlight. They are a bit of a pain to set up, but they work.

 

Has there been any detailed step by step tutorial or video anywhere ? IS that how you do it ?

 

can also build & deploy from Windows to iphone/ipad, using:

*requires Mac access for the initial setup files

 

Yes .. I noticed that but it requires mac.. but I am confused does this

really work without a mac?

What is the magical step that MUST be done with a mac ?

I am tempted to just pay someone on fiverr to take a zip of my files + apple dev account and just put it on the store to me... its $20 but maybe its worth it compared to these lengthy work arounds..

I do it with a remote mac but still need a complete walk through..

 

it actually worked!! I went through the thing sure at some point things would not work..

So now I wonder .. Why do people say you need a MAC to deploy ? I guess you don't after all

 

if its cloud build, then no need mac, can generate those cert files with pc.

 

ok so what they really meant is you can't do it locally.

Though if things can be automated in the cloud it would be nice if the cloud could do some of those 30 steps for me... Why not give unity cloud my apple dev account and let them set it up..

thats what MAUI apps do.. make it easy

 

Haha, I am happy to see my tutorial here! Glad you find it useful
