Is there a free way to build iOS app without Mac using AI tools?

so i have this app idea and i know some basic coding but don't own a Mac which seems like a huge barrier. i've been reading about AI tools that can help build iOS apps but honestly getting pretty confused about what's actually possible without spending money on hardware or developer accounts

basically wondering if anyone's successfully used AI to build an iOS app on windows? like are there cloud based options or workarounds that actually work for testing and development?

i'm trying to avoid buying a Mac right now since this is just a side project and i want to see if it's even viable first. any recommendations on free tools or approaches that have worked for people in similar situations would be super helpful
