For basic app development, go for simulator based development: https://github.com/shapeblue/hackerbook/blob/master/2-dev.md#simulator-based-development
If you've KVM or VMware workstation/fusion, you can try an appliance based development as well. For KVM you can see: https://github.com/shapeblue/hackerbook/blob/master/2-dev.md#mbx-based-development (though I need to update that section on using the new mbx) RaspberryPi4 based toy development/testing setup is also possible but iteration on it may be slow (for users https://rohityadav.cloud/blog/cloudstack-rpi4-kvm/).
