Yes, and the worst part is that XCode is only available on OSX.
I once had to make an iOS app once and didn't have a Mac so I developed the entire thing in a VM. There was no video encoding, the FPS was in the low single digits, which made it very difficult to even type. So I ended up writing the code using VSCode through SSH through Wireguard connected to the VM on the host machine, which actually worked surprisingly well. But hey, the app did work in the end.
Wait how can you run Mac OS on a VM?!?
I used QEMU but I don't think it's possible anymore. I had to use an older version of OSX (I think I tried 3-4) but that version is no longer supported by XCode.
