Is there an iOS SDK on Windows?

Question

iOS

I'm looking for an iOS SDK. I recently got an iPhone. I want to try developing for it, but I don't have a Mac. I need something for non-native development of simple applications (not games).
PS If you said something stupid - do not kick, but explain. Do not offer to buy a poppy.

Answer 1

There is another option. If you don’t have money for a poppy right now, make an application for android / wine phone / blackberry / tyzen to choose from, earn money on it and buy a poppy. The absence of a poppy is not a reason not to start developing mobile applications

Answer 2

there are good builds for VMWare on the root tracker

Answer 3

Options 3: Mac, Hack, virtual machine
No more

Answer 4

there is another option to rent a mac-server and build there (but it’s expensive and you won’t be able to debug on the device, and in order to just install the application, you will have to do a bunch of unnecessary steps).
And if he talks about the convenience of development, then in order of preference:
1). If you have money for a poppy (at least a used macmini) it’s better to buy it (I think if you want, you can fit in 500-600 bucks).
2) Hackintosh - it’s pretty hemorrhoid to install and make it work, but when it starts to work, there won’t be much difference with a real poppy (but at least once a year there will be a very unpleasant procedure for upgrading the OS to a new version (with possible loss of data and a bunch of customized software))
3) Virtualka - in principle, for many applications it is quite enough - especially at the beginning, if you master native development tools.
The only SDK that builds an application without access to a poppy, at least as a build server (for example, there is one in Xamarian) that I came across is the MarmaladeSDK, but even there you can’t send an application without a poppy to the store. The MarmaladeSDK is going to ARM binary which is signed by an Apple certificate, but there are also a lot of problems with it - in particular, you can’t just debug on the device, you need to work with the VM, and it can often start up what will fall on a real device, and Marmalade itself costs money , and only in the form of a subscription, and the SDK itself is more suitable for large companies that are ready to buy support and independently port the necessary libraries to it.

Answer 5

use Adobe AIR - ActionScript 3.0 language, application generation for iOS and Android. Using the hardware acceleration capabilities of Stage3D will make applications run smoothly.

Answer 6

A virtual machine with a Mac will help in this case.

Answer 7

The native SDK is for Mac only.
For non-native development of programs for the iPhone, you can use something simpler, for example https://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/smart-basic/id5414... - cheap, cheerful, in Russian, you can write programs directly on the iPhone , as they say "What else do you need?"
Gain experience, mature for native development - buy a Mac and flood the App Store with your programs!
