Referring to this answer (on stackoverflow) to develop application in Xamarin.iOS using Visual Studio on my Windows 10 PC i will need Mac with requirements listed below (it can be found in this link):

  • A Mac running OS X Yosemite (10.10) or higher (although we recommend the latest stable version).
  • A Mac which can run Xamarin iOS SDK
  • A Mac which can run Apple’s Xcode(7+) IDE and iOS SDK

If it has to be machine which will be used as a Xamarin Mac Agent (picture below) only I want it to be cheapest possible solution.

So at the end I will ask two questions:

  1. What is the cheapest new Mac which will fulfill my requirements and how much I will have to pay for it ?
  2. What Mac should I look for If I will decide to buy used Mac andhow much it will cost (theoretically, because of course pricedepends on condition and it can vary) ?

Used examples:

  • Will it be enough: MacBook A1342 which can be found for around $130 in my country?

Assuming you have the rest of the hardware/don't mind sharing some with your PC a mac mini would probably be the cheapest option. Why? They're roughly about half the price of the Mac laptop models to start with. Exact prices would vary with model and country.

Downsides? You'd need to supply your own keyboard/mouse and monitor. Its not as portable as an macbook of any flavour.

Its pretty reasonably priced compared to a comparable NUC class machine.

They're also often available refurbished, which may be cheaper. I'd go for a core i5 model over a core 2 model if possible.

I am bit late though thought of sharing the idea of renting MacInCloud

The above company offers Mac rentals starting at $1 per hour and $20.00 per month which is more than sufficient for individual mobile app developers like me. It is not worth spending money on buying a mac machine. Please follow the link for further details, it offers comprehensive plans for advanced users as well.
