iOS app & windows

Hi,

I just started using Ionic and I am confused about iOS

  1. https://ionicframework.com/docs/installation/ios - This page says that “Unfortunately, iOS apps can only be created on macOS”; my app does run on iOS, but I tried hiding the Status Bar by setting this.statusBar.overlaysWebView(true); and it doesn’t work - is that because I’m building on Windows?

  2. Is there a workaround or will I actually have to get a Mac to be able to develop native functions?

Thanks
Martin
