Coding from a non-Mac PC while building on a Mac
I started using XCode to make an iOS app from my Macbook, and I have been trying to find a way to write code from my Linux PC, as I prefer coding there. I spent some time looking for ways I could remotely write code to my laptop, and build my app there, but I haven't found a good solution yet.
If anyone knows a way to achieve this I would appreciate it
Here are some things I tried:
Something that kind of worked was using rsync with SSH to transfer my project directory to my Mac and have it built there, however, a big problem was that the build errors did not appear in my IDE.
Another tool I tried was Fleet from JetBrains, using its remote development feature, which apparently works for ‘common’ XCode projects, but my project is a Swift playground (with the .swiftpm extensions) and as Fleet is still in early access it doesn’t support this yet. (The remote development feature did work though, just without error highlighting)Thanks for the help in advance!
