i'm new in mobile development
I wasn't never using MacOS before, and now i'm trying to build a crossplatform mobile app using React Native
The android mobile app is already built and run normally
But for now i'm trying to develop the app into ios mobile app use MacOS inside VMWare
And i have some question for it
Can i instantly copy my project which was built at windows OS(Android) to MacOS then run it?
Do i need to do extra things if i i can only copy my project from Windows OS to MacOS?
What is cd ios && pod install and what time should i run this script?
Why windows can't be used for developing ios app?
Can i connect my VMWare MacOS directly to my iPhone directly using WiFi?
Sorry i'm still a newbie and please apologize me if i have an unnecessary questions

I have built a React Native app on Mac OS. I can build the app on device, but when I eject the cable, the app is disappeared. I want this app to stay in my phone permanently but it doesn't.
You need to create a production build of your app to make it "stay".
Visit this link https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/running-on-device
Select iOS & Mac OS
Scroll down to 3. Build app for release and follow the instructions there.
You can then use the release file to install the app permanently on your device.
For me, I had the previous version of the app still running in the background when trying to install. I quit the app in the background and the installation succeeded.
I’m currently making an app for android using Cordova and android studio. If I copy my codes from windows to Mac will it work on my Mac?
It should, but just to make sure I would:
Use latest versions of Android Studio on both systems
Install the exact same version of Cordova CLI on both
Download exactly the same Android SDK items
Create the same AVD (if any) in both systems
Make sure any other component that must be installed on both ends is the same version.
I have been recently experimenting with NativeScript and I have come across NativeScript SideKick which is suppose to build iOS apps in Windows using a cloud feature.
NativeScript SideKick
But how can you run this build in an iOS emulator on Windows, has anyone tried this before?
According to #JenLooper in this video 9.25s, she states that it is/will by possible but building app via cloud
Yes and NO.
YES
Using the cloud build feature you can build for iOS and run this build on a connected iOS device AND/OR publish to the iOS App store.
NO
There is currently no emulator fo IOS that will run on windows.
Ionic can create UWP application which works on windows 8/10, but I want to create desktop app which works on windows 7 too. Electron can do that but that cannot work with android. I need to make a single app that works on Windows 7, Ubuntu and Android. On Visual Studio Community 2015
Have you heard of NW.js? The apps you create run inside a chromium browser environment. I tested a app on windows10/ubuntu in the past. I think it'll run on windows 7 as well.
However you have to compile separately for each platform.
Build instructions for windows is here.
Note: Nw.js cannot create Android or iOS apps. It can create desktop apps for Mac, Ubuntu and Windows.
There is so much conflicting information out there on this, I'm hoping we can shed some light.
Goal: Create and develop a phonegap app that will be built using phonegap build.
1) I don't want to install the android and iOS SDKs, that's why I want to use phonegap build.
2) I created an app using the cordova cli cordova create hello
3) There is no phonegap.js or cordova.js I guess because I didn't add a platform. But I don't want to add a platform as that requires installing the SDKs
4) I need to be able to debug and test this, so I downloaded ripple, which may or may not work, I need the phonegap.js file first to see.
So has anyone figured this out? Building and developing and app that will be used on Phonegap build?
Thanks!
Phonegap will let you create a UI using webview of Android, iOS, Blackberry or other platforms. That means you need to have native SDK to apply Phonegap Build. It doesn't mean that Phonegap will create an App for you and deploy it to other platforms.
