Basically, yes. Apple's terms of service indicate all iOS or macOS applications have to be built on Mac hardware. There are some hacky ways around it regarding virtual machines etc, but an ipa file can only be created by Xcode, which only runs on Mac.

edit: stand corrected on macOS. and the ipa comment is confusing. The reality is that although services for cloud mac hardware exist and there are some hacky things you can do with vms, it's not realistic to develop native iOS apps without mac hardware on hand.

Yesssss, is the Xamarin.Mac frontend on a branch somewhere? Can the community do PRs down the line?
