I just crossed $31,000 MRR in 6 months as a solo dev. The craziest part? I launched and scaled an iOS app without even owning a Mac. Here is how I completely bypassed the "Apple Tax" and kept my startup incredibly lean: 👇 #buildinpublic

honestly, renting cloud hardware for iOS builds is a cheat code for windows devs. i use macly.io. costs like 15 bucks a day for an M4 mac mini. i just remote in, compile the code, and push to production. don't buy a $2k laptop just to run xcode twice a week 🪟

@defi_nable appreciate it man! i'm actually planning to reveal the apps and do a full deep dive on this account soon. honestly no magic trick, i just target super niche markets that big players ignore. with solid planning and just consistent work, it's very doable.

@defi_nable yeah expo go is great until you need custom native modules. once you have to debug native crashes or tweak the iOS side directly, waiting 20 mins for an eas cloud build is just pure pain lol. having a mac to pop open xcode saves my sanity.

This setup gives me a clean macOS environment exactly when I need it, without a $1,500 aluminum brick gathering dust on my desk. If you're a Windows dev feeling gated by Apple's ecosystem, don't let it stop you. Rent the hardware, focus on shipping
