I'm currious to know how e.g. Telerik Icenium / Phonegap Build creates IOS ipa files?
Do they use physical mac's for this task or how do they come about this?
Or rephrased: Can I in any way create Cordova ipa files on Windows?
You don't need an actual Mac, just Mac OSX. If you don't feel like buying a mac than you can get a hold of the image of Mac OSX and install it onto your PC using Virtual Machine software. I use VMWare to run MacOSX from my Windows 7 x64 machine.
VM's are a great way to go, the driers can take a bit to setup, but once everything is working it's perfect.
VM's even support ethernet so from within the VM you can browse the web, download mac apps.
Install things like XCode or GameSalad. I suggest researching how to use Virtual Machines.
(I'm part of Icenium team). Yes, we're using physical Mac machine to build your app for iOS.

How to build raspberry pi cluster environment with Android Things.
I have seen couple of posts on various sites/forums, that we can be able to build clustered environment with Raspberry Pi and Raspbian OS via network switch card using Ethernet Cable.
It is possible to build same thing in Android Things. If it is not, is there any another way?
What is LowWPAN with Android Things.
Link for reference, for RPi Clustered Env
It's hard to apply for Android things, but after thinking of it's, the hardware is the same, and the operation of Android is base on a Linux. You may even try all of this just like a Linux things.
An Android doesn't have a terminal for installing the Linux apps or compiled a program. But you can install an Android terminal emulator like Term*x for installing, configuring your network, or compiling a program.
Maybe Android can't have a same result like a Linux OS or it can be anything like what you want.
Back to Android, I think that's the one I was looking for a program to have a different result, and Android UI is created for anyone who wants to help their own lives with a smart phone.
So simple to use for anyone who doesn't know about computer things.
I created the .app with Qt application that I'd like to distribute. It works fine on my developer machine and now I want to test it on clean mac system to check if all dependencies bundled and it works correctly. But I don't have another clean mac.
Is there a way to emulate clean environment on dev machine to check the .app?
You can install macOS on a virtual machine, using Parallels or VMware Fusion.
This can be useful to ensure your app is deployed correctly, with all the dependencies in the right place.
However, keep in mind that the VM won't support accelerate graphics, so if your app is using OpenGL, you will not be able to test it in this kind of environment.
After several years away from Delphi (2006) I'm thinking about returning, to try cross platform Windows-OS X development. I have an old Mac Mini, dual booting Win10 and OS X. Everything I've found discussing cross platform Delphi involves configurations with the two OS's running simultaneously, either two machines or one machine+one virtual machine. (With 4G of RAM I don't think I have the memory for the latter option.)
I'm wondering if I could develop in Win10 (without MacOS running), compile, push to source control, etc. and then later pull the files to test in MacOS (without Win10 running)?
You could build OSX applications on Windows without OSX connection with Delphi XE2-XE6.
Since Delphi XE7 OSX SDK and connection profile is needed for building the OSX applications.

iPhone development on Windows
We would like to conduct iPhone application development training for students. However, it is very expensive to have a mac machine for all. We would like to setup a virtual environment on the PC to install and run mac OS so that development tools like XCode can run and basics of iPhone application development can be taught. We will we will invest in a couple of macs, iPhones and iPads so that students who want to try out their exercises on the real machine and deploy to real devices.
I have heard that this kind of a development setup is possible, but am not sure how and so would like to know if anyone has setup such an environment, how to do about doing it.
This is not possible unless you build a so called "Hackintosh" (installing OSX on a non-mac computer) with this for example But I doubt that's a solution for an official "organization", and if you want the apps to be deployed to the app store, you must have a mac
i Don't know about the basic xcode on PC, but for your submission to appsotre, you need MAC OSX, if you don't have a mac machine or mac book, try installing mac osx using VMWare, but your CPU should have a suport of Intel Virtualization technology which almost all new CPU has especially core series.
It's quite easy. Buy OS X Lion (which will run in a virtual machine) using family licenses (5 machines per copy), install VirtualBox (it's free) and away you go.
That would be the least expensive route for sandbox learning on a budget.
We're getting into iOS development with MonoTouch. All of our machines are Mac Pros with Windows 7 installed via BootCamp. I'm not crazy about rebooting into OS X just to access the MonoTouch IDE. I'm wondering if it's legal and possible to install OS X on a VM within Windows (if I'm already on Apple hardware, it should be ok, right?). Any other issues with Apple's SDK in a VM (I heard they do some hardware checking of some sort). Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
You can't really run OSX on a VM under windows without going the hacking route. The only way to properly virtualize OSX is to run OSX Server under OSX itself, which is not what you want.
The best option for you is to do what I do: run OSX on your Mac, then use something like VMWare or Parallels to run the Windows you have on your BootCamp as a VM. Works beautifully.
Yup, Eduardo is right, running OSX under non-apple hardware is considered illegal according to apple's license. Moreover, you may run into some issues when creating your developer's account or sumbitting apps.
However, if you still want go the hack way, you can refer to osx86project or just search google for "how to create a hackintosh".
