Can I do iPhone development with Windows (Visual Studio)
-
We looked into this in our office. Looking at Phonegap, Titanium, and Xamarin, they still all require a Mac OS. I know you need one to sign and submit to the store, but reading the product documentation I was under the impression that you couldn't even do the client dev without a Mac since you can't plug into the iOS SDK otherwise. If I'm mistaken, that would be great news.
At first glance I think you are correct. But I'm going to give the Android dev for Windows are try for work stuff.

Hi All, Someone told me, I can develop iPhone application with Visual Studio with Windows OS. I gone through some of the sites via Google, and came across lot many links, some says it is possible, and some suggest it is just rumor. Can you please tell me facts, and if its possible, what should I do to make it run on VS 2010. Thanks in advance

This week, DevExpress announced the release of DXtreme Enterprise, its new tools suite for building apps for Windows 8, iOS and Android. All I need is VS2012 (the support for VS2010 will come fast) to target all platforms at once, even able to publish to an App Store. All of this without needing to buy any Android or Apple gadget. The tool has emulators for several devices. eWeek article[^] DevExpress DXtreme site[^]

I went through the same dilemma recently. I won a contract to right a native app for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, as well as a mobile web version. I owned neither a Mac nor an iOS device. After much research I decided to go with Xamarin's tools. The iOS app is complete and I'm happy with my decision. I don't remember the price but for about $750 I got both MonoTouch and Mono for Android. In particular, the MonoTouch.Dialog module makes it very quick to write apps that involve traversing data. Originally I tried to run OS X inside VirtualBox. It actually worked pretty well but it took me a while to get there, and accidentally allowing updates would break the system. Once I considered the time I had spent in this I broke down and bought a new Mac Mini. I also bought a used iPhone 3GS from GameStop. My advice is that if you write code for a living (as opposed to a hobbyist) and you want to write native apps without learning ObjectiveC, just pony up the bucks for a cheap Mac and MonoTouch. If you don't need the Mac when you're done, Apple fanboys are insane and will pay nearly full price for it used.

You can use Marmalade SDK to develop c++ iphone apps with Visual Studio www.madewithmarmalade.com, also you can develop for android, playbook, bada, and more.

If you really want to do it from Windows and avoid the hassle of XCode and a Mac, check out NSBasic. (www.nsbasic.com). I'm just learning to use it myself but it has promise. Like the other solutions I've looked at it compiles to Java Script (I think), however you can also build a native app using the PhoneGap system which I haven't gotten into yet. I just wanted to learn to write some simple stuff for the iPhone for starters without having to invest in a Mac and all the other stuff needed. It costs $99 and they're constantly working on it. -cb

What I would recommend depends on what kind of App you want to write. If you're looking to make a game I would highly recommend MonoGame. You can just develop using XNA and Visual Studio. Once you have the app/game near completion, its very easy to port the code to MonoTouch(Xamarin) with MonoGame and build for the App store. Being able to easily port to Android, Windows Phone and XBOX is a nice bonus as well. Mike.

Check out Borland's Embarcadero's : RAD Studio[^]. Write once on Windows, then build and deploy native Win32, Win64, OSX and iOS applications. I bought it a few months ago and am now migrating all Win32/C++ development from VS to RAD Studio. I understand they have Android compliers in the pipeline too.

If you want to develop Enterprise class iPhone apps use Xcode. You have alternatives like Xamarian but you will never get support from Apple. Beside this Apple is a closed environment so better to use XCode. Go with Xamarian only if have experience with C# Native Application Development/ XAML. Still you will require a Macbook to connect with Xamarin with Visual Studio

Yes you can. http://www.pmbaty.com/iosbuildenv/[^] No Mac. No apple developer license. Develop in visual studio. But you need to jailbreak the device you want to run it on (or publish the app later via a mac to the app store if you want to sell it there). I did use this and have a little test app on my jailbroken device, just to get my feet wet in iphone apps. It worked, for $0.
