Be rich. Buy Apple iPhone, Apple Mac, Apple Developer subscription. Put together app, upload app. Done.
The Mac might be required, but you could use the emulator until you're ready to try on a real device.
They're already practicing swift code so they have a Mac, probably an iPhone too if that's the dev they're looking for. The dev licence is not that expensive.
To add to your point: I’m 9 years into dev work. I’ve never bought a license. I build with the simulator, or I build onto my phone. You only need the license if you put an app into the App Store, and that’s further than the stage OP is in.
You can get away with an Intel Mac Mini, and the iPhone 6.
