Ask HN: Cheapest iOS development option?
1 point by Armslong on April 14, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
I'm looking to do some iOS apps and I was wondering what my cheapest options are. I'm not interested in using a MacOS machine outside of app dev once in a while, so it doesn't make sense for me to spend 2k on a macbook pro. Any suggestions?


Mac Mini with a wide screen (>22") + an iPod touch as testing device may help keep in mind that you can run Windows or even Linux on a Mac if you're into that. The hardware will handle it pretty well.


Mac Mini


+ Mac Mini + 99$ Membership (It can get really frustrating to test in simulator since it lacks many features, including swiftness, so you really want to test on a device) + Above mentioned iPhone/iPad.
