Hi guys,

I’m currently building a mobile application using Flutter. Until now my target platform was Android but I’d like to build and publish it for iOS as well. For this I need access to macOS environment, both to build the application and to test it in iOS Simulator. Please note that I don’t intend to actually develop on this machine.

I’m considering a few options like running macOS VM on my machine (no luck so far) or using some kind of cloud VM. The most obvious option is to just buy a Mac of course. However, I really don’t want to spend a lot on this and Apple computers aren’t exactly known for being affordable. Here’s my question: which MacBook would you recommend to buy used just for the purposes I listed above?

I tried googling this of course but it’s really hard for me to find any useful advice. Please note that I have no knowledge about Apple devices and ecosystem whatsoever, I never used any of them.
