Would this theoretically allow a Flutter app developer to build and deploy an ios app from Linux? God, I hope so.

It technically violates the Apple Developer Agreement AFAIK, but that seems like yet another lawsuit waiting to happen IMO.

Apple won't do anything right now as they're certainly afraid the courts* will slap them hard.

IIRC it is only a potential issue if the host machine isn't made by Apple. You can install Linux on a Mac and use this.
IANAL yada yada.

Yeah weird world. When Gates bundles IE that no one wants it's an abuse of power but when Jobs shoves his apples down your throat just to (try to) publish for their platform it's all OK.. Oh, or was that the lawsuit waiting to happen? ;)

Same thing with the bank bail out, if Bush did oh my we will never hear end of it, but if cool president who smokes weed and get down some good music, then no one really call him out on it.

Afaik its already possible with darling. Nixpkgs also has xcbuild replacement, but not sure if it can handle codesigning.

no android support?

...this is for building apps targeting iOS and macOS on non-macOS platforms. Why would Android support be necessary?

So you can build iOS apps on your android device?
If for no other reason, it would be gloriously ironic.
