How to test the Cordova app for iPhone without a Mac

I use Cordova with Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10. Is there a way to test the app directly from Visual Studio to my iPhone (registered as developer) without a Mac?

Thank you in advance for your help.

if your app is HTML5 only(e.g. Cordova ), you can try Intel XDK with app preview on your mobile device. No OS X is required for this.

You can refer to the introduction in the following https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/intel-xdk-app-preview-overview

But seriously, it's not bad to invest some money on an Mac Mini for your cross platform apps anyway.

No, unfortunately you can't deploy or test your app on the iPhone/iPad/iPod without a Mac. To compile your app for Apple Platforms you need Xcode. Xcode only runs on Mac.

However you can try and run Mac OS X in virtual machine, but it's violating Apple's terms of service.
