Developing apps on Windows

[thetimetravelle]

Hey, I'm new here. I wanna start developing iphone apps and as I've been doing research it appears everybody does it on Macs. I wanted to know if it's possible to make apps on Windows or if it's a waste of time and I must get a Mac.

Thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure XCode is only for Mac OSX - In which case you'll have to buy a Mac or Hackintosh your current Windows machine

Not very legal as far as Apple's terms of service, but Hackintosh or VMWare image are your only options.

You can't do it on Windows. Buy a Mac.

Even with a hack or virtual I heard there can be problems when submitting the app without a real mac.

Buying a mac is a hard step to take. I bought my first mac for the sole purpose of making apps. Spending that much money on severely overpriced hardware was a large incentive to actually follow through and build the app.
