FAQ: Do I Need a Mac to Make iOS Apps with PhoneGap?

I've seen a lot of confusion around this question and have been asked it many times. There seems to be a bit of conflicting information out there, with some people saying you do need a Mac and XCode to make iOS mobile apps with PhoneGap and other that say you do not. Before I get into the topic a little further, let me give you the short answer: PhoneGap / Cordova: Yes, you do need a Mac PhoneGap Build: No, you do not need a Mac The confusion probably comes from the two different build methods for PhoneGap – either through the command line interface or through using the PhoneGap Build servers. What's the difference? **PhoneGap CLI: **A locally installed version of PhoneGap that could be considered the "normal" approach. It gives you complete control over everything PhoneGap has to offer. The downside to this approach is that the build process takes place on your computer, which means you will need to download SDKs for both Android and iOS. Unfortunately in the case of iOS, you will need a Mac in order to do this – this means it is not possible to build an iOS app without a Mac using this approach.
