Could you build this?
No Compiling and packaging Flutter iOS apps without macOS/Xcode requires cross-compiling Apple toolchains (cctools-port, Clang, Darwin SDKs, Mach-O linkers) and re-implementing iOS code signing/provisioning workflows, which requires deep systems and compiler expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version requires an LLVM-based cross-compilation pipeline targeting Darwin/iOS, patched Apple SDK headers and frameworks, custom Mach-O linkers, and a reimplementation of Apple's codesign toolchain and asset catalog compilers (actool). The team needs deep expertise in LLVM/Clang internals, Darwin executable formats, and iOS deployment internals.
