Use Windows simulator with live builds on iOS?

The machine I carry around daily is a Windows laptop.

I was hoping to develop my iOS game in Corona by testing it using the live builds feature. But I noticed that the Windows simulator does not have an iOS build option. I do have access to a Mac with XCode sometimes (through a service I can rent online) and I have used it to build IPA files with Unity before.

Is it possible for me to get a Corona client on my phone, and then use the Windows simulator to upload builds of my game as I work on it from my Windows laptop? What’s the best way to accomplish this or something close to this?

@keelo absolutely! You can use Live Builds across multiple platforms. In fact, I made short video some time ago, showing using Windows and Mac to run live build on multiple devices, including iOS and Apple TV:

To do that, make sure to have same .CoronaLiveBuildis  synchronized. Then just Drag&Drop your project to Live Server and you are good to go. Make sure you don’t run 2 Live Servers at same time with same project - because then you wouldn’t know where it is connected.
