Mac Required for Android/Win8 publishing?

ReMasteredGames

Hi, so I'm looking to go pro and I use PC. Because I want to publish to Android and Windows 8. I understand you need a Mac (or at least have access to one) to publish to iOS and OSX, but do you need a Mac to publish to Android and Windows 8?

While I'm here, how long does the iOS publishing take? My friend owns a Macbook, so is it worth spending a day at his to submit my game on his Mac?

No, Android and windows can be published on a PC. If you have published before, maybe 15 min. If not 30 min to setup certificates and such, 45 to follow tutorials. Then 25 min to 1 hr to publish.

You can publish Android/Windows without a PC. iOS requires a Mac because it uses Xcode and it is mac based software.

You can upload to apple in 10 mins if you have the files ready. But will take 3-10 days to approve. Hope this helps @ReMasteredGames‌

Fantastic, thank you!

Don't forget you will need an iOS Dev account to publish to apple ($99 yr), and for any other platform you will need GameSalad pro ($299 yr) and the respectable developer membership.

@Bjandthekatz of course.
