I recently attempted to set up Hackintosh on my CoffeLake Desktop and notebook, but it didn’t work. VirtualBox also stopped functioning with Big Sur. As a mobile app developer, I need the latest Xcode (which only runs on MacOS 11 Big Sur), but I’m a Windows user. My girlfriend owns a 2017 MacBook Air at home, so she installed Xcode there and I successfully built my iOS app using React Native—just clone the repo on her Mac and build locally. Now I’m curious if I can create a local "build server" on my Mac and use it to compile iOS apps remotely from my Windows machine. I’m considering SSH remote control, but it might not be as seamless, and I’m unsure if Xcode can be forced to build via the command line. Any suggestions on how to achieve this setup?

You can achieve this using Shortcuts on your iPhone, a MacBook build script, or PowerShell on Linux. For Mac, you can set up aliases or use Git + cron to automate the process. If PowerShell isn't ideal, consider writing a Go script that connects via SSH and runs commands. After updating your build workflow, schedule it with cron to run at regular intervals.
