I'm developing xamarin forms apps. I can generate the APKs and run it on my android devices. But how can I do the same for iPhones without having a mac? Is there a way to build my apps on app center or azure devops where it generates the ipa files?
Thanks
With Visual Studio 2019 preview you have the Hot Restart that allow you to deploy with the iTunes to your local iphone/ipad...

Here is guidance about how to build Xamarin apps for Android and iOS in azure-devops:

Here is document about how to build Xamarin iOS app in AppCenter:
Building Xamarin apps for iOS in AppCenter
If you want to build a xamarin.iOS project locally, you must connect to a network-accessible Mac to build Xamarin.iOS applications. Because building native iOS applications requires access to Apple's build tools, which only run on a Mac.
Refer: Pair to Mac for Xamarin.iOS development

I need to create a new application for Iphone with Xamarin? Forms
Is it possible to do this without any windows system?
I know this sounds bizare but that is the requirment.
Yes, this is possible. You can develop Android and iOS apps with Visual Studio for Mac. Of course you won't be able to develop UWP apps.
With Visual Studio for Mac you can build websites with ASP.NET Core and apps using .NET Core, games with Unity, and mobile apps for Android and iOS using Xamarin. (emphasis mine, see here)
As far as xamarin is concerned, you can do just as much with the Mac version as with Windows. You just can not develop a Windows Phone app on the Mac.
I am trying to distribute my Xamarin Forms iOS app through Visual Studio App Centre. I am using a In-House Certificate for the same but the app is not getting installed. Does App Centre supports distribution on In-House Certificates.
I'm new to xamarin and I'm trying to create cross platform App. In my Visual Studio there are only two options(Refer attached Image) but there should be option to create cross platform App too. I tried reinstalling mobile development with .NET and I'm using Visual Studio 2017.
Screenshot here
Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) is a cross-platform. This allows you to use .NET with C#. Please try creating anew Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) project. It should create an Android project, an iOS project, and shared UI project. The shared project is where you will write the shared code for both projects.
I need to publish my android app that make it with visual studio enterprise 2017 and get IOS version of My App.
How to do this?
If you wish to compile your Xamarin application on iOS, you must have a Mac machine and deploy your app through there. You are not able to deploy an iOS version of your application on Windows, unless you are tethering to a Mac device through LAN for example using Visual Studio 2017.
Chick this out too, hope it helps!
