How can use Xcode for Windows?
If you like to develop great applications for iPhone or iPad by using iOS SDK with Xcode for Windows and upload it to App store then officially you should have Apple hardware with OS X. Xcode the app development kit is not available for any other Operating Systems other than OS X such as Windows and Linux. There are several reasons and compatibility issues behind it. Still if you insist to install Xcode on a Windows PC and see how the SDK framework/development kit is working, then this guide would be helpful. Here we show you how to install Xcode 5 on Windows 7 and Windows 8 - 8.1 PC by using virtualized latest Mavericks OS X. My advices about using Xcode for Windows are below.
By using this way you can build and emulate simple apps on your Windows PC. Sysprobs has already published several guides about installing Mac OS X on Windows desktop or laptop computer by VMware workstation and VirtualBox, you can find them here. By using one of these methods the official Xcode can be installed on a normal PC.
This method is for testing and learning purpose only. Ultimately you must have an Apple hardware with OS X and original Apple developer ID to do App business professionally, if you are serious about it.
There are few online app development websites and cross platform frameworks available to develop and test iOS apps on Windows platform. But when it comes testing the app on real Apple device or upload it to Apple app store, you must use Xcode on Apple hardware.
Another way of Xcode for Windows is using the software named Smartface App Studio. You can develop, emulate, test and publish your mobile apps easily. If you want to download Smartface App Studio, you can visit their official website.
