How to create an IPhone app on my windows computer?

I want to make an app to sell on the apple store but I don't have a mac, does anyone know of a way to develop an IOS app on windows then sell it on the apple store?

It doesn't work that way. You need a Mac computer, and pay your $100/yr fee.

The iOS SDK is only available for OS X, not for Windows.

If I remember correctly, the Unity SDK has licences in which you could make iOS games on Windows, but I think you need to buy a license for it.

Most people use a virtual machine if they can't get access to a Mac. You'll then need an appropriate version of MacOSX for the version of iOS that you're going to be working on. It's a bit difficult to set up if you're new to these kinds of things and there are various other hurdles you have to cross (such as getting a license once you've finished developing the app and passing Apple's standards test). If you're looking to build an app, a web app or Android might be easier to start developing on first.

EDIT: as mentioned by another user, you could also try porting to iOS, but how well this will work will depend on the kind of app you're making and the system you're porting with.

You will need a mac. The bottom line is if you aren't willing to do that then you aren't serious enough to be writing an app anyways.

  • How to create an iphone app on a windows computer? I really want to create an iphone app, but I can't seem to find a free way to create it on windows.
