For commercial choice of Apple, the iOS app build and deploy process must pass through a Mac machine, so if you have a Windows machine, you need either a Mac or a Mac Cloud Service.

In Visual Studio, where Xamarin is installed, we have the Xamarin Mac Agent that allows you to run iOS Simulator. Xamarin allows us to code in C just once and then deploy on the three platforms (Windows, iOS and Android), but without a Mac, the iOS environment might give us some problems. Run the app during the build process is very important and we cannot leave a platform without testing it. Not all of us have a Mac computer, which allows us to use the iOS simulator to test our own Xamarin app.
