Can Titanium Appcelerator be used for IOS App development in a Windows Machine

Question

Sorry if this question looks naive. I have a requirement for a Hybrid Mobile App development requirement ( IOS and Android ) which is not much complex , but ona Windows Machine . After a research on comparing with a few tools/platforms ( Xamarin/PhoneGap/Titanium Appcelerator) came to a conclusion to pick Titanium which helps to compile to native code.

But after the installation of Appcelerator I found ( with a heartbreak ) that IOS sdks cannot be installed in a Windows Machine . When I further investigated got the previous SO link Titanium for iOS Development on Windows Platform which is bit older. Needs advise whether on any options to develop a Hybrid App with Titanium on a Windows machine. Appreciate your directions and help in advance.

Have u been able to get the idea from below answer? – Wahhab_mirza Feb 07 '15 at 22:09 — Wahhab_mirza, Feb 07 '15 at 22:09

First Short answer:

No you cant compile iOS apps on windows machine.

Now reason:

The reason behind it is that titanium javascript code is ultimately converted to xcode project and xcode only works on mac machine and its not cross platform

You can try to run mac OS on virtual machine. – Swanand Feb 09 '15 at 05:20
Yes, Swanand , I would resort to as a last option since its terribly slow. – user2695433 Feb 20 '15 at 11:21
