Development platform : Mac vs PC / Android / iOS?
Hello,
I have been getting into VR a lot and want to develop for it, even if at the hobbyist level. I would like to start with mobile VR as it's very accessible price-wise.
One of the steps i took was to take this short course on Udacity : https://www.udacity.com/course/introduction-to-virtual-reality--ud1012 and while fun to do, i found the experience of Unity on a Mac to be slightly frustrating when exporting for iOS.
Even getting the right settings menu to work was difficult and in the end the iOS build of the tutorial never ran correctly, it just kept on crashing. The Android build worked just fine.
I have also noted most tutorials i find are PC based.
Is it really required to work with PC to get into VR development with tools like Unity and Unreal? Any clarifications on the topic are appreciated.
Thank you.

There's like 3 courses on Udacity which explain basics of VR and also sort of explain basics of Unity. I don't think you need it though, since you've already started making things, the courses mostly explain about hardware/applications. In Udemy, it was creating AR using merge cube.
