I'm just curious. With android all I need are the correct SDK packages and a slow-to-boot emulator.

I understand that I do need a mac, I would just like to know why? And why I can't use a VM?

    It's just a case of keeping everything tied to your platform. If you want to develop for iOS Apple would love you to buy some shiny gear instead of running it on a VM. It's just business – Ivan Crojach Karačić May 31 '15 at 12:17
  • The WHY is that the build tools provided by Apple (which Xamarin uses) only run on OS X. And Apple's license does not allow OS X to be run in a VM on non-Apple hardware. – Jason May 31 '15 at 14:48

You can run it on a VM. If the legal part for you is not really important you can install Mac OS X on your normal PC. Just google a bit for Hackintosh.

You can take a look here There are detailed information about developing iOS apps with windows and so on
