Currently, to build an iOS only app via Window's Remote Mac build system, Visual Studio needs to be installed, even though it isn't used to compile the iOS app. Verify why VisualStudio is needed for building an iOS app and check if only the .Net Framework needs to be installed instead.
1) Install UE5 on windows with out VisualStudio installed
2) Create a HandheldAR iOS project
3) Do a remote mac build. It will fail with an error message about missing a uproject file
There's no existing public thread on this issue, so head over to Questions & Answers just mention UE-173044 in the post.
