Installing Apple software on a Windows computer?
Alright so I have an interest in creating apps for the iPhone but for some reason Apple doesn't want to allow development on Windows computers (I completely understand the competition reason but not everyone can afford a Mac).
So I have been Googling around and have found that it is possible to run Mac software on my laptop but I'm kind of confused as to what it does. I know that it probably isn't legal but I'm not asking someone to tell me how to do it all I want to know is what it does and if it's safe to do because my computer is also used for school and I have Microsoft Office and all of my school stuff on here which I would prefer not to lose!
Thanks
Added (1). I can do it lol I have the expertise and I understand the no support thing. It's hard for a college student to get the money for those expensive things!
No, it actually doesn't work. And you will definitely NOT be able to run the Apple SDK (software development kit) on a Windows PC. You may see info about the so-called Hackintosh, and some people can make it work, but it's quite risky, especially if you don't know absolutely what you are doing. Not to mention it violates Apple's licensing, so you would get absolutely no support from Apple. And the risk is not just that it won't work, but you could end up bricking your machine. So I would stay away from this idea so you don't chance losing the stuff you really need.
My suggestion: save your money and buy a used Mac that you can dedicate to creating iPhone apps legally and without the hassles of trying to create a Hackintosh.
Apple will give you no help, but you stated that lol! I have a youtube: DamianDude56
Also email me @ damiandude56@aol.com and tell me when your app comes out!

- Is ''Iphone'' software only or hardware and software? I've never had an Iphone. I always see it anounced in an absolutely black device, such as this one: http://pective.com/m/iphone-5 I wonder whether, when you're going to buy one, you go to the apple store and buy the whole thing, or look for a Nokia or Sony smartphone and then go to the Apple website and buy and download the software into your device.
