I'm developing xamarin forms apps. I can generate the APKs and run it on my android devices. But how can I do the same for iPhones without having a mac? Is there a way to build my apps on app center or azure devops where it generates the ipa files?
Thanks

With Visual Studio 2019 preview you have the Hot Restart that allow you to deploy with the iTunes to your local iphone/ipad...

Here is guidance about how to build Xamarin apps for Android and iOS in azure-devops:
Build Xamarin apps azure-devops
Here is document about how to build Xamarin iOS app in AppCenter:
Building Xamarin apps for iOS in AppCenter
If you want to build a xamarin.iOS project locally, you must connect to a network-accessible Mac to build Xamarin.iOS applications. Because building native iOS applications requires access to Apple's build tools, which only run on a Mac.
