I don't know if this is the correct forum to post this on but I'll just do it. I want to make IOS apps on windows. I know that I could install a VM but my processor is not compatible with OSX. This is a pretty simple question that may have a complex answer. Thanks in advance.

No, Apple don't make this very easy at all. They actually want you to buy a Mac.
The development software they use for iOS development doesn't run on non-Mac boxes. You may be able to get it running technically (such as on a Hackintosh) but you'll be violating the OSX licence agreement.

Yeah it does. You can use Hackintosh to install on a fairly standard PC. It's OSX you need, not a Mac. – trojanfoe Feb 03 '14 at 08:04

@trojanfoe, you need to look at the licence agreement for OSX. It specifically forbids running on non-Mac hardware. People running Hackintoshes are breaking the law. – paxdiablo Feb 03 '14 at 08:06

I was referring to the technical possibilities of running OSX on a standard PC, not the legal possibilities. Bottom line - you can do it. – trojanfoe Feb 03 '14 at 08:07

@trojanfoe, fair enough, I'll clarify my answer. – paxdiablo Feb 03 '14 at 08:08
