# MAUI - physical IPhone deployment (without Mac)

In some cases the MacInCloud isn't sufficient: to test BLE devices you do need a physical device, for example.

In that case, you can get a cheap [Iphone SE2020](https://swappie.com/be/model/iphone-se-2020/) or simular - unfortunately you cannot link that phone over RDP (your macincloud) to its USB to deploy via Visual Studio.

1\) You'll have to [install Itunes ](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118290) and get a developer account  
2\) You'll have to activate your developer account (which is 99€ annually)
