I would like to try to make an application for IOS, but Xcode needs OS x, and buying a Mac is not possible right now, so I would like to ask if it is worth installing a hackintosh? Because two of my friends installed it, and a week later they had problems because of which they had to be demolished!

"purchasing a Mac is now impossible" - well, actually, for Xcode 2 options: either Mac or Hack. The virtual machine slows down.
I have Hack for a month and everything is fine.

Definitely worth it, works as it should work. Of course, there is a “BUT”, you need the hardware on which the hack will work, and the more the hardware is similar to the hardware of real poppies, the more stable and native the system will work.
P.S. I have a hack for more than three years. Added macbook pro this year

It is best to use VirtualBox for this purpose.

You can work on a hackentosh, but not for long. When updating, kexts may fly off, which will hang the system for a long time, up to reinstallation. OS X has been messing around lately, and here you are adding unnecessary problems to yourself.
If you try - then YES, definitely worth it. Then you will decide for yourself whether to buy a Mac or not. If you are serious and for a long time, then it is better to buy a Mac.
And use Time Machine. Believe me, it will make life easier for you when reinstalling the system.
PS Everyone has a familiar friend - a true Objective-C coder who works on a hackintosh.
