We don't have the infrastructure at all ... no Mac, no iPhone, no nuttin' ... and no money to purchase any of it either.

I'd love to learn this stuff ... we don't have the time. This is an app that is currently being used and the bugs *have* to be fixed. It's bad enough that we'd have to get a new developer up to speed on what the app does ... we don't have the luxury of time to also learn how to do everything (purchase and set up the infrastructure and learn the development environment too). We need someone who is productive from the get-go.

Oh, and BTW ... there's a tool called Xamarin which you can use to develop iOS/Android apps in Visual Studio with .NET. So, bottom-line is that you don't need a Mac!! Xamarin converts your .NET code into the executable code for either iOS or Android. I haven't looked at it, but I'd love to learn how to do this. It sounds quite interesting. Unfortunately, that won't work with this project, since it wasn't developed that way to begin with.
