title: Xamarin Cross Platform App without a Mac
body: <p>Do I still need a Mac to build a Xamarin cross platform app? I'm on Windows 10 running Visual Studio 2017 Professional.</p>
  
  <p>I read a while ago that with iOS Simulator, I could build a cross platform app using Xamarin. I also read that iOS Simulator requires Visual Studio Enterprise.</p>
  
  <p>I can update my Visual Studio to Enterprise but I want to make sure I can indeed build a Xamarin cross platform app in Visual Studio 2017 without needing a Mac.</p>
