Soon, I'll be going through some courses on Xamarin University.
I'm a .NET developer mainly interested in Android, Windows Phone 8, and Windows 8 development. Since Xamarin University provides some courses on iOS, I thought I might as well go through them.
To build and deploy iOS apps, my understanding is I'll need a Mac. I have no use for a Mac, and don't want to buy one just for this - but I can access a virtual mac or a friend's Mac remotely.
Has anyone attempted to use an iOS host on a remote machine? By remote I mean the Visual Studio/Windows machine and the Mac not being on the same local network such as 192.168.1.x - but the communications going over the public internet.
What ports on the firewall must be open for this to work on the Mac side?
I found these articles, but none mention what ports and protocols must be allowed -

Thanks for the help!
