MacOS 10.14 Mojave in VMWare
Developing a iOS app used to require buying a Macbook or Mac mini. With VMWare, it is no longer necessary. I used VMWare Workstation 15.0 Pro and was able to develop an app and debug it on real iPad/iPhone hardware. Setup instructions are here:

Here’s the latest VMWare Mojave 10.14.4, 18E226 (March 25, 2019) image:

Further tips after the above setup
- Connecting iPad/iPhone/watch:
- In the Virtual Machine (VMWare) settings, set the USB compatibility to be 2.0 instead of 3.0.
- Also go to VM -> Removable devices, and connect the phone/pad/watch to the guest (it will disconnect from the host).

- Display Scaling:
- Disable HiDPI resolution (disable Auto Scaling): Open the VMX file then paste this code
gui.applyHostDisplayScalingToGuest = "FALSE"
- Shut down the virtual machine, and select Edit -> Preferences
- Make sure ‘Autofit window’ and ‘Autofit guest’ are checked

Dead link.
download link for macOS 10.14.4 not working
Updated link to another site that seems to have the same image – give that one a try or perhaps look up the old page in the Internet Archive.
