Would i get banned if i were to use a virtual machine for development purposes?

I currently don’t have a mac, but in order to develop apps for ios, i need to use a macos operating system. Would my apple id be banned if i used a virtual machine to run macos for these purposes?

There are legitimate Mac Cloud services for iOS/Mac/etc developers without Mac. E.g. MacinCloud.com. If you’re serious, then you would get your own Mac of course for a better experience and more flexibility.

Using such remote services would not affect your Apple ID. Your developer account has its terms and conditions, and as long as you abide by those, then you’re all good.
