I am not fully understanding the KMM setup guide.

If you need to write iOS-specific code and run an iOS application

, so on a Linux machine I can only write android specific code? My idea is to have domain/data layers be shared and only separate UI for IOS/ Android. Android with Jetpack compose and IOS probably swiftUI (which would require XCode). From my understanding so far, I need to develop on MacOS if I want to both target IOS and Android at the same time? Can someone help clarify this situation

You can't build iOS things on Linux or Windows, so you need to use a macOS machine

Then how do you develop both simultaniously? Do you have a mac next to your pc and constantly push and pull the object to github and develop on two computers?

You can develop Android on a Mac OS.

@mkrussel So basically to do both at the same time, you'd have to use a MacOS?

macOS you can create apps for linux, all apple OS android and jvm

Quick question. Is there a way to virtualise macOS? at least from a compiler perspective would lessen the burden having to fork out 💸 .

You can use macOS in virtualbox in Windows

Could use a service like MacStadium: https://www.macstadium.com or have it in your build pipeline: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/cloud-hosted-mac-agents-for-ci-cd-pipelines/
