I would personally recommend the latest Mac Mini (if you want to save money and will only use it for compiling) as a way to compile instead of trying to spend way too much time trying to getting a compatible version of Mac OS X working because (same when it comes to getting a Mac mini) if you get an older model then you can’t use Xcode to upload or compile because of technology changes or policy changes so you want to make sure you have the latest to ensure you can use Xcode (I have an older G4 which obvs wouldn’t work for compiling today) net developer or a web developer do lot let those in here tell you that you can develop for IOS on windows 10. There are certain CPUS and Ram and video cards and even hdds that are incompatible with Mac and that will cause issues, I’m some cases you can emulate certain things but again you wouldn’t want to jump through those hoops.

But if you want to jump through 100 hoops and old Mac OS X on windows 10 you can do that too, the only issue is going to be when it comes to the hardware, I’m order to do this (and it absolutely works) you will need to be sure that your specific hardware is compatible with Macs very specific criteria list. I personally own a Mac mini specifically for this task. When it comes to compiling the developed app however you WILL need Xcode because it’s required to digitally sign the developed app and to upload it to the App Store as well. Now if your question is “can I develop using Xcode or Obj C “ in windows 10 then that answer is sadly no but considering the OP asked of they could develop iOS apps on windows then there is nothing stopping them from create a utility app or even the next big game on the market. This particular technology has been around probably longer then some of you “developers” in here apparently There are also non native apps that use web view to create hybrid applications that are built specifically with web languages but utilize api that allow you to interact with devices api such as vibrate, contacts, phone calls etc. With that said you could also (which I do regularly ) use Kotlin and create a multi platform application (design and develop once across all platforms) right inside of android studio on windows 10 and now windows 11 (for testing at the moment) net (c#) and while it’s not obj c it would still be native. Now, with that says just like most alternatives it uses Xarmarin and you would develop using. Visual Studio 20 both support IOS App development. You can absolutely develop IOS apps on windows 10, Windows 11. I’m confused, what is everyone talking about.
