I have searched all night and haven't found anything that I can use on this subject.

I want to develop something for my iPhone. My only requirements are having this app always run in the background, and access the Location Services API on the iPhone. I don't need to make a GUI or anything like that.

What tools do I need to develop this on a Windows machine, and do I need to know Objective-C to code it? Can I use PyObjC on Windows to develop this? Once developed, what do I need to do/install on my iPhone to use it?

Thanks a lot!

There's no official way to develop native apps for iOS without having the access to an Intel based Mac. There are development environments that run on Windows, but to get it onto the actual phone or App Store, you'll need to use tools that aren't available on Windows.

Of course there are ways if you're determined, but since I don't want to recommend anything I've never tested, I'll just point to Google which has plenty of information on hacks.

You could Jailbreak your iOS device, install OpenSSH, and then install Theos on it. Once you've done that, you can start developing on your iOS device. SSH into your iOS device with Putty and build your app/tweak. You can join irc.saurik.net #theos for more questions. Please have a basic understanding of objective-c before developing anything.
