Can I create iPhone apps without a mac? - Hunion - Mar 11, 2018
Hey guys,
Wanting to get into the app development market..
I don't own a mac though.
I was wondering if it's possible to create apps and test them out on a windows PC somehow?
If possible, how would I go about doing so?

If you'd prefer using a Mac, you can download a Virtual Machine with MacOS installed and it'll emulate a Mac for ya.

First you need to Download a VMWare workstation, than you need MacOS that can run on VMware setup.
If you got the MacOS on VMware you just need to download Xcode in the Appstore :)
There is of course no Xcode for Windows :(
A alternative for Xcode on Windows is the Programm "Swift". But i never used this ^^ Im a Mac User
I hope i could help you! Good Luck buddy!

Swift can be used to develop apps for IOs, but if you want to use XCode you will have to run the emulated IOS.

As others pointed out. no doubt Xcode rocks. and to run Xcode. you need Mac OSX or macOS.
so download a hackintosh version of your preferred mac OS and run it using vmware.
they are so many guides on internet about this. but if you still need help. let me know.
