To install Xcode in Windows XP
(3 answers)

Is it possible to download Xcode in windows guys? can you give me some good links in details on how to install it?
thanks.
Xcode is produced by Apple for Apple hardware, so you are out of luck.
When Swift is open sourced, you'll probably be able to use it with the various IDE's which are out there.
Only way to get XCode to run in windows 10 is to create a virtual machine for OS X inside of your windows 10 OS. This can be done via VirtualBox, which is free. Now unfortunately, since it is VM, it is going to run a lot slower than if it was on its native OS, so I would not recommend going this route unless you have a really good machine, so your better options are looking into hackintosh's, or actual Apple hardware. I myself recommend actual Apple hardware because things go wrong all the time with hackintosh's whenever Apple updates

Can ios simulator can be run in Windows

I want to simulate iOS application in my windows laptop. Can anyone suggest me a simulator? Since I'm new to Cameron I want to develop a native application
I can simulate Android but I can't simulate iOS on Windows.
Apple only allows their tool chain to run on MacOS. There are 3 ways you can acheive this:
Buy a Mac: You can probably find a relatively cheap, used Mac Mini to use as a build host
Set up MacOS in VM: I know some have used a virtual machine and set up MacOS inside it. I have no experience with this, but I imagine it's not going to be easy. Also, I don't think it in accordance with the terms of use of MacOS to do this.
Use a cloud provider: You can use something like MacInCloud to rent computing power on a Mac.
I've been trying to download Xcode but when I open it nothing happens.
Xcode_8.1.xip
Do I need to us using a Mac to be programming for iOS? I am currently using Windows 10.
Simply, yes, you need to have a Mac, or some other macOS running computer to run Xcode. But...
There is a way to run Xcode on Windows, however it's a bit of work. You can follow a tutorial on the internet like this one to get Xcode working on Windows.
Let it be known that even though Xcode will run on Windows using this, it is definitely not good in quality compared to on a Mac, as there will be lag and unnecessary difficulties that wouldn't be there on Mac.
I'm trying to learn to code in Objective C, but I am not ready to commit to purchasing a Mac for just this purpose, seeing as I have a good Dell laptop. My computer has VMware installed on it, but I do not know how to actually go through the steps, and I do not know what I need to install or purchase(if absolutely necessary). Eventually, I hope to get a Mac, so this won't be needed, but until then, I want to find a way to compile Objective C so I can actually learn how to use it. Thanks.
While it is technically possible, I'll tell you from experience:
To run Xcode and the iOS Simulator, you will need to have MacOS running. Oficially it only runs on Apple Hardware, buuut, you can always use virtualizers and Hackintosh. There are plenty of good tutorials online if you choose this method.
My advice: DON'T do it!
When I started to develop iOS apps, I had a Windows PC, but after trying lots of different approaches to virtualize MacOS, with none I had great results. I bought a MacBook on a sale, and it's just a better iOS development experience overall. It's priceless not to have to deal with driver searching and compatibility issues.
First virtualize MacOS X, inside then iOS with XCode. See http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/07/mountain-lion-virtualbox.html
Yes you can, you need to virtualize OSX inside you Windows, and then use XCode as the other stated, however it doesen't work with nearly all AMD CPU's but i think Dell uses mostly Intel. And a Mac costs alot. For example i don't have money for one, the cheapest one costs $1,600 where i come from, but if you are going to get a Mac, i would wait for that.
But they really are expensive, and i only need a Macbook for debugging.
[Assuming you already have the mac installation image or vmware file]
Sadly Vmware does not include support for mac in it's latest versions
So you'll have to patch(aka Vmware Unlocker for OS X) it.
Follow this link http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/20-vmware-unlocker-for-os-x/ (you'll be required to set up an account)
Or alternatively you can download the VirtualBox(https://www.virtualbox.org/)
Happy Coding
Use virtualbox instead of VMWare. If it does'nt work, install the extension pack for virtualbox.

Developing for Mac OS X, on Windows?
my situation is this, i do not have a mac, but need to write an app for a mac in xcode.
is there a way to write and simulate the code in Windows, save the project on a usb drive, and then compile the final package ona friend's mac when everything is OK?
thanks igor
ps: the project MUST be xcode compatible, so any other application with other coding languages is not an option.
If you do not own a mac, then you can try installing mac osx on your intel based PC, with vmware. However you will not attain all the features, but your xcode will run.
Second thing you can do is, share your friends mac os by Team Viewer, but he should not be using at same time.

Could please you help out me on this..
Currently Apple only allows you to develop apps in the OSX system.
You could try running a virtual machine if hardware is a problem, however that is a challenge in itself.
Actually:
Having done more research, there are ways to use Windows to write iOS apps: http://maniacdev.com/2010/01/iphone-development-windows-options-available/
yes you can.
you have to install VMware or any virtual machines into your system.
works well if you are using windows, with processor above 4GHz
