As I understand xcode can only run on a MAC. Title Comments Does buzztouch has the possibility to export code for IOS that can be used on a Windows PC. As I understand xcode can only run on a MAC.

Google search should throw up loads on this so you can check machine specs against what is required. Comments If you have the right hardware in your setup it is possible to run a hackintosh.

You might be able to find a virtual machine going, but it isn't for the faint-hearted. My suggestion to see how viable that is, try googling vmware and osx. Hackintosh is also another option, again, not easy to get right. Comments Xcode is the only tool for managing ios apps and xcode only runs on osx.

Mr stuck Android Fan Posts: 974 Reg: Apr 09, 2012 Fife, Scotland 15,740	12/05/12 10:24 AM (11 years ago) @GoNorthWest do you know if a vm or hackintosh will run on any windows machine? Does it have to be super powerful? I sure would like to try but seems pointless if my machines not up to it. And yes this is the last i will post about it here as per your how to :) Comments @GoNorthWest do you know if a vm or hackintosh will run on any windows machine? Does it have to be super powerful?

Mac OS X in a VM should probably run in most Windows computers that support virtualization in the first place. Hackintosh is a different story, and I don't have an answer for that. I think there are some somewhat specific hardware requirements for supported configurations. I know there is a website out there dedicated to the effort.

That seems to be no problem at all (still have to learn a lot), but Apple doesn't want me to develop anything for their devices. If I wanted to make money of it, paying 100 dollars or euros a year to have the privilige to store my app in their store + buying a mac wouldn't probably be a problem. I only want to develop something for the fun, an app with information of my village. So I will do that for Android, what am I happy I purchased an Android tablet and not an Ipad.
