Xcode development on Windows/Linux: Mac In Cloud or VPNing to your Mac Mini? What's the difference?
提问by Melvin Roest
My Mac got stolen today. So now I only have my Microsoft Surface left. The problem is: I need to develop iPhone and iPad apps and I'm not too high in funds. I am now looking for an affordable and reliable way to develop iPhone and iPad apps that isn't too costly (so no new laptop). So I was wondering what all the legal ways of developing iPhone and iPad apps via a windows machine are.
我的 Mac 今天被偷了。所以现在我只剩下我的 Microsoft Surface 了。问题是：我需要开发 iPhone 和 iPad 应用程序，而且我的资金并不高。我现在正在寻找一种经济实惠且可靠的方式来开发 iPhone 和 iPad 应用程序，而且成本不会太高（所以不需要新的笔记本电脑）。所以我想知道通过 Windows 机器开发 iPhone 和 iPad 应用程序的所有合法方式是什么。
I looked into: - Hackintosh (not legal)
我调查了： - Hackintosh（不合法）
I briefly looked into (also via SO):
我简要地研究了（也通过 SO）：
Mac In Cloud
VPN to a Mac Mini
Using other frameworks (seems tricky, I won't do this)
Buying a second hand MacBook or Mac Mini (seems tricky to since it is second hand)
云中的 Mac
VPN 到 Mac Mini
使用其他框架（看起来很棘手，我不会这样做）
购买二手 MacBook 或 Mac Mini（因为它是二手的，所以看起来很棘手）
My first question is: are there any other legal ways to develop Xcode apps on Windows? I think the answer is no (I just leave it here in case it isn't). So lets look at the real question at hand.
我的第一个问题是：是否还有其他合法方式可以在 Windows 上开发 Xcode 应用程序？我认为答案是否定的（我只是把它留在这里以防万一）。所以让我们看看手头的真正问题。
How feasible is it to use services such as Mac In Cloud or your own Mac Mini and VPN? When should I just develop directly on a Mac?
使用 Mac In Cloud 或您自己的 Mac Mini 和 VPN 等服务的可行性如何？我什么时候应该直接在 Mac 上开发？
Also, is there a real difference between services like Mac In Cloud and your own setup, besides the obvious point that you access a pre-configured Mac in the cloud?
此外，除了您访问云中预配置的 Mac 之外，Mac In Cloud 等服务与您自己的设置之间是否存在真正的区别？

As it was sometimes pointedover articles in the internet, Mac in Cloud faces some performance issues. This article refers to may '2012, but can be considered nowadays as a point of concern.
正如有时在互联网上的文章中指出的那样，云中的 Mac 面临一些性能问题。这篇文章指的是 2012 年 5 月，但现在可以视为一个关注点。
On the other hand, taking in consideration that a brand new Mac Mini costs US$ 599,00 todayin its most basic configuration, this value would suffice to pay for Mac in Cloud service for almost 3 years, if you stick to the most basic montly plan of 3-hours-a-day usage (and pay quarterly):
另一方面，考虑到如今一台全新的 Mac Mini在其最基本配置下的售价为 599,00 美元，如果您坚持最基本的配置，这个价格足以支付 Mac in Cloud 服务近 3 年的费用。每天使用 3 小时的月度计划（并按季度支付）：
I'm not sure if this price is an advantage for you. As I live in Brazil, we face much higher prices: the price charged for Mac Mini here would suffice to pay for Mac In Cloud for almost 5 years - in fact, that's exactly the service I plan to use for my IOS needs.
我不确定这个价格是否对你有利。由于我住在巴西，我们面临着更高的价格：这里为 Mac Mini 收取的价格足以支付 Mac In Cloud 近 5 年的费用——事实上，这正是我计划用于满足我的 IOS 需求的服务。
On the other hand, it would be advisable to at least try to use a second hand Mac, if the price is interesting.
另一方面，如果价格合适，建议至少尝试使用二手 Mac。

Best bet is to sell your surface and buy a used Macbook Pro 2011 from craigslist, i look up and researched all those ways, they never work as good as having a dedicated mac. They always remind you that you don't have a mac. Save yourself the agony...
最好的办法是卖掉你的 Surface 并从 craigslist 购买一台二手 Macbook Pro 2011，我查找并研究了所有这些方法，它们从来没有像拥有专用 mac 那样好用。他们总是提醒您，您没有 Mac。免除自己的痛苦...

Instead of paying for a cloud instance, you can also run OSX locally with VMWareplayer for free
