Ask HN: Any way to borrow a Macbook?
1 point by Diamons on Dec 12, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments
I basically made an app for iOS using Phonegap and want to release it to the app store. I tried to use the macs at university but they require admin access to install XCode. So sort of in a bind here, and really need to release this app into the app store soon.

Is there any way to say borrow a Mac very cheap online? I just need to do a remote session in to use XCode and build + submit the app. Or if you'd be so kind enough to let me do a join.me on a Macbook you own with XCode for about an hour, I would be more than grateful.



Have you looked into PhoneGap Build (free for a single app) https://build.phonegap.com/ and instructions for getting certificates on Windows http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/iphone/WS144092a96ffef7cc-37...?


To submit the app don't I need a macbook ?


No, unfortunately, you still need a Mac to run Application Loader (a download from iTunes Connect), the very last step. This wasn't always the case. Would MacOS X on VirtualBox be sufficient for this? If not, contact me at my login at cs.uchicago.edu and maybe I can work out something you can remote into.


I can't vouch for this service at all, but it looks like it would meet your needs: http://www.macincloud.com/


I saw this. Unfortunately the $30 up front for the month is quite steep for me.


Did you find something? You could try Peerby - https://peerby.com/
