Is there any way to tinker with the iPhone SDK on a Windows machine? Are there plans for an iPhone SDK version for Windows? The only other way I can think of doing this is to run a Mac VM image on a VMWare server running on Windows, although I'm not too sure how legal this is. The first route requires modifying (or using a pre-modified) image of Leopard that can be installed on a regular PC. This is not as hard as you would think, although your success/effort ratio will depend upon how closely the hardware in your PC matches that in Mac hardware - e.g. if you're running a Core 2 Duo on an Intel Motherboard, with a NVidia graphics card you are laughing. If you're running an AMD machine or something without SSE3 it gets a little more involved. If you purchase (or already own) a version of Leopard then this is a gray area since the Leopard EULA states you may only run it on an "Apple Labeled" machine. As many point out if you stick an Apple sticker on your PC you're probably covered. The second option is the more costly. The EULA for the workstation version of Leopard prevents it from being run under emulation and as a result there's no support in VMWare for this. Leopard server however CAN be run under emulation and can be used for desktop purposes. Leopard server and VMWare are expensive however. If you're interested in option 1) I would suggest starting at Insanelymac and reading the OSx86 sections. I do think you should consider whether the time you will invest is going to be worth the money you will save though. It was for me because I enjoy tinkering with this type of stuff and I started during the early iPhone betas, months before their App Store became available. Alternatively you could pickup a low-spec Mac Mini from eBay. You don't need much horse power to run the SDK and you can always sell it on later if you decide to stop development or buy a better Mac. Update: You cannot create a Mac OS X Client virtual machine for OS X 10.6 and earlier. Apple does not allow these Client OSes to be virtualized. With Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) onwards, Apple has changed their licensing agreement in regards to virtualization. Source: VMWare KnowledgeBase Use Marmelade (formerly known as the Airplay SDK) (for iPhone you will still need a Mac to sign your application, but that's it, all the development / testing can be done on Windows). The lowest tier license is now free. Marmalade SDK Xamarin is also making strides in this area, but you will still need a Mac to perform the build, however the debugging can all be done in Visual Studio. PhoneGap also works, but I have found it isn't quite as nice for gaming, but it's pretty decent for regular GUI applications. Again, you'll need a Mac to sign and test your application and be in compliance with Apples terms of use. Unity3D is great for games and supports many platforms. Corona SDK is also another option. The SDK is only available on OS X, forcing you to use a mac. If you don't want to purchase a mac you can either run OS X on a virtual machine on your windows box, or you can install OS X on your PC. In my experience the virtual machine solution is unusably slow (on a core2 duo laptop with 2G ram). If you feel like trying it search for the torrent. It's probably not worthwhile. The other option is to install OS X on your PC, commonly referred to as a hackintosh. Hackintoshes work quite well - my friend just sold his mac because his Dell quad core hackintosh was actually much faster than the apple hardware (and cost about 1/3). You can find lots of articles on how to do this; here's one on how to install on a Dell Inspirion 1525 laptop: hackbook pro tutorial Of course both of these options are likely counter to some licensing scheme, so proceed at your own risk. Most of "so called Windows solutions for IOS development without Mac" require Mac at the end just to sign and send to app store. I checked a few, not all though (who has the time?) At the end it's just too much trouble to learn "their super special easy way to program IOS without Objective-C", they have lots of bugs. Really the goal they are setting is unachievable in my view. Also a lot of time they make you use Objective-C equivalent statements simply in another language. They kind of look the same but there are always subtle differences that you have to learn on top of obj-c. Which also makes even less sense, because now instead of learning less you have to learn more. So where is the gain? Also they cost a lot, because they are very hard to develop. Many lack any debugging abilities whatsoever. In my honest opinion, if you are a hard-core IOS developer then for sure buy the best Mac and learn objective-c. It's expensive and takes time, but if it's your path, it's worth it. For an occasional curious guy, it's just easier to rent a remote mac service, like macincloud.com or xcodeclub.com or virtualmacosx.com. I personally like the second one. Or go with an alternative SDK that has a good debugger, simple API of the language that you know already, and make sure it doesn't require a mac at the end. As an alternative sdk, I liked DragonFireSDK, but I don't use it anymore even though it's C++ API with no obj-c at all, it is very simple and you can at least debug it on their simulator from Visual Studio, but you can't debug on an actual device, and sometimes when you compile with them, you don't know why it didn't compile properly. I tried running a MacOS virtual machine over windows PC, and I couldn't. Any new OSX update basically breaks it, even if you are able to run it in the first place. Update: For OSX 10.9 at least, there are virtual machines available and they can be updated to 10.9.5 with no major problems. You don't need to own a Mac nor do you need to learn Objective-C. You can develop in different environments and compile into Objective-C later on. developing for the iphone and ipad by runing osx 10.6(snow leopard) This article one of our developers wrote gives a pretty comprehensive walk through on installing OS X Snow Leopard on Windows using iBoot, then installing Vmware (with instructions), then getting your iPhone dev environment going... and a few extra juicy things. Super helpful for me. Hope that helps. It uses Phonegap so you can develop on multiple smart phone platforms at once. Of course, you can write Objective-C code in notepad or other programs and then move it to a Mac to compile. But seriously, it depends on whether you are developing official applications to put in App Store or developing applications for jailbroken iPhone. To write official applications, Apple iPhone SDK which requires an Intel Mac seems to be the only practical way. However, there is an unofficial toolchain to write applications for jailbroken iPhones. You can run it on Linux and Windows (using Cygwin). A devkit that allows one to develop iPhone apps in Objective-C, C++ or just plain C with Visual Studio: Check it out at iOS build env You can build iPhone apps directly within Visual Studio (2008, 2010, Express). Pretty neat, it even builds IPA files for your app after a successful compilation. The code works as is on jailbroken devices, for the rest of the planet I believe the final compilation & submission to the App Store has to be done on a Mac. But still, it enables you to develop using a well-known IDE. Hooray! You can now more easily accomplish this with the latest Xamarin.iOS, using a network-linked mac providing the build and deployment capabilities. See here for more details: introduction to xamarin ios for visual studio YOU CAN DEVELOP IPHONE APPS ON WINDOWS PC. I've done it, with complex apps. And it works perfectly. You can develop iphone apps without ever seeing a mac or iphone. You can develop on windows an HTML (or better: HTML5) app, using tools like Sencha or JQTouch, or mobi1. (They used to all be free for a while) Then you use openSSL to sign the app. And Adobe PhoneGAP Build service to build IPhone App. But you need the iphone developer licence to install it on an iphone. But you don't need a mac or iphone at any minute to compile, build or test it - all that is done ON THE PC. I've done it, and it works perfectly. (But with Android type responsiveness - not as fast as a native IPhone app) You could also use a program from the the Babylonian era (circa 300 bc) running C and C++ called dragonfly. If your app has one or two screens with limited interactivity, and many calculations, go for it. It includes an emulator. You compile to the iphone at the press of a button. (Not sure, but I think you do need a developers license in any case) And then there is Xamarin. You develop in C# with special calls to native code. You'll have to learn the environment. If you want it to be legitimate, you have two options, cloud based Mac solutions or cross-platform development tools. You may consider the hackintosh approach or virtual machines if you don't care about legal stuff. If you have a decent PC, running a virtual machine would be the easiest way to go. You may never know which hardware will have driver issues on a hackintosh. I've tried all these approaches and they all have pros and cons, but for the second group, I feel kind of guilty. I develop apps to make a living and I wouldn't want to rip off someone else for it. If you are making a small project, cloud based Macs may prove useful. Rent it for a short time, develop your project and off you go. Don't bother learning anything new. However, if your project is getting big, cross-platform frameworks seem to be the only alternative. The critical thing is that you need to choose wisely. There are so many hybrid frameworks, but what they do can be summarized in one sentence as "diplaying web pages in an app wrapper" and developers' negative experience with hybrid frameworks also affects native frameworks. I tried three of these (Titanium, Smartface and Xamarin) and they all claim to produce "real native output" and in my opinion their claims are correct. You need to test and see it yoursrlf, it's not easy to describe the native feeling. In a previous comment, it was indicated that it takes some effort to learn these platforms, but once you get to know them, you can develop not just iOS applications but Android applications as well, all with the common code base. And of course, they are much cheaper than a cloud Mac. Some of them are even free. You would need a Mac only for store submission. If you know JavaScript, try Titanium and Smartface and if you know C#, try Xamarin. Just note that for the device simuator, Titanium is dependent on a Mac, but Smartface has a simulator app for Windows development and it works better than I expected. On the other hand, Xamarin requires a Mac in your network. As has been pointed you can attempt to use the WinChain but if you are a newbie coder it won't be easy. The iPhone SDK will work on Hackintoshes (a normal PC with OS X installed on it). I know as I have one and it does. So after you go buy an OSX license you could TRY to install it on your PC on a different drive using Boot-132 or one of the other installers like iDeneb. The issue you will have to do a lot of tinkering and things still won't work quite right.
