I've been curious about testing my native iOS app on my iPhone without owning a Mac. I understand that using Xcode is essential for iOS development, but I want to know if there's any workaround for this. I built a web app using Capacitor and want to compile it to native. Is it really true that I can't even test my app on my iPhone without a Mac?

Yeah, unfortunately, you really do need a Mac to do this. A service like MacinCloud can help if you just want to test every once in a while. But if you're serious about development, getting a used Mac Mini might be your best bet.
It's honestly wild that Apple has this rule in place. They hold such a huge market share that they can enforce these limitations, but it seems a bit over the top not to allow any sort of testing without a Mac.
