Also: https://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/xcode.pdf states > Install a reasonable number of copies of the Apple Software on Apple-branded computers that are owned or controlled by You to be used internally by You or Your Authorized Developers only as follows: Apple Software is defined as > Apple Software” means the Xcode Developer Tools and the Apple SDKs, including any Updates thereto (if any) that may be provided to You by Apple. And Apple SDKs is defined as: > “Apple SDKs” means the macOS SDK, and the Apple-proprietary Software Development Kits (SDKs) provided hereunder, including but not limited to header files, APIs, libraries, simulators, and software (source code and object code) labeled as part of the iOS SDK, watchOS SDK, iPadOS SDK, and/or tvOS SDK and included in the Xcode Developer Tools package for purposes of targeting Apple-branded products running iOS, watchOS, iPadOS, or tvOS. I'm not a lawyer, but it's pretty clear that running or using the iOS or Mac SDK is indeed against the terms of use of their software if not running on "Apple-brand" hardware. This is a legal loophole but it essentially means you need a mac. However, technically you could have a Mac, that is running linux, and legally be allowed to use the software since the linux OS is running on Apple-brand hardware. But if I think realistically most people with apple-brand hardware are indeed running MacOS. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
