can you load an app developed on a mac "in the cloud" onto your ios device?

I'm curious if it would still be possible to develop for the iphone with a non mac laptop. Assume I buy some sort of "mac in the cloud" solution (they exist), can I download apps I'm developing onto my ios devices from xcode on this "remote mac" via my icloud/developer account or do I need physical access to a mac (usb cable) to do that?

This answer seems to indicate that it's not possible to load apps onto local devices from a remote mac, but he's not sure: http://ift.tt/1tJnmWU
