How to develop iPhone apps with a Windows 8 OS?
I have a Lenovo Z580 laptop with Windows 8.1. Processor: Intel(R) Core i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz RAM: 8 GB (7.86GB usable). 64-bit OS x64-based processor. 1 TB of hard drive memory. I have what i think is a great idea for an iPhone app, which shall not be discussed, and i wish to develop it myself. The only problem is I only have a Windows based computer, while the official iPhone SDK is strictly Mac. I do not want to use an emulator, or download any sort of Mac computer partitioned stuff. My question is: is there any single program i can download which would allow me to develop an iPhone app? Please only relevant answers.
Because apps are written in object-c in xcode you can't simulate or run iOS apps on Windows.
If you want to run windows on a mac you can download VMWare, download a copy of iOS (remember it is illegal to download from torrents and then install OS X along with VMWare.
Because you have a powerful PC with the i7 processor there's a good chance that it may work, however you must also have hardware virtualization enabled on your motherboard (to find out, just try install OS X and VMWare will tell you if you don't have hardware virtualization).
You can use PhoneGap, but you will still need to test and compile your app using a Mac so that is pointless.
The best thing I ever done was save up and buy a Mac, I highly recommend you do the same when you can.
All the best
You need a mac for that
