Setting up the Environment Variables for iOS on Mac OS X

Developing for iOS requires you to develop from a machine that runs on Mac OS X. At this point in time, it's not possible to develop iOS applications from Windows. In the following steps, we will outline how to get started with developing Ionic apps for iOS.

Installing the iOS SDK

The following are two ways that can be used to download Xcode:

From the App Store, search for Xcode in the App Store application
It is available at Apple Developer Downloads, which requires you to register as an Apple Developer.

Command-line tools are integrated within Xcode. Previously, this was installed separately. Once you've downloaded and installed Xcode, you are prepared to handle iOS projects from a machine that has Mac OS X enabled.
