No, you will need macOS (either on a real Mac or via Hacintosh) and run Xcode there to run your app.

How can I connect IOS project created by flutter to firebase? [duplicate]

I am new to developing mobile apps and wanted to try Flutter but I use Windows. Because Flutter doesn't support Windows yet I had the idea to use a virtual machine running Linux to install Flutter. Does this work?
Also in the Flutter setup it says this:
To develop Flutter apps for iOS, you need a Mac with Xcode 7.2 or newer.
Is there a way to develop iOS apps without having a Mac?
Yes, you can develop iOS apps with Linux (or Windows) using Android Studio or Visual Studio Code. The point of Flutter is that you have one code base and can deploy to both Android and iOS. So the development phase is no problem.
In the past you could only deploy iOS apps to the App Store if you had a Mac, but there are some more options now. See the following articles:
How to sign Flutter apps for iOS automatically without a Mac

How to develop and distribute iOS apps without Mac with Flutter & Codemagic
Build an iOS app without a Mac or iPhone using Flutter
To test your app on the iOS simulator, though, it is still necessary to have a Mac. However, theoretically the app should have the same behavior for most things as on an Android device, so you wouldn't necessary need to test it using the iOS simulator. I would say long term you would probably want to consider getting a Mac, but it is certainly not necessary in the beginning.
Update: In a recent app I made, my tests passed in the Android emulator but crashed in the iOS simulator. It was a normal bug and nothing specific to iOS, but for some reason the Android simulator didn't crash. So for a production app, you really do need to test it on an iOS device/simulator.
As you point in your question:
To develop Flutter apps for iOS, you need a Mac with Xcode 7.2 or newer.
You can work around by using an external service (like Travis-ci or other) to build your code for iOS. However it's not usable as a developer workflow as that can take several minutes to get the artefact.
You should check out MacOS cloud solutions like MacInCloud. There are CI/CD solution that will support it (e.g. CircleCI and BitRise) however these are not suited for development.
Services like MacInCloud allow you to remote desktop into a Mac where you could conceivably use XCode remotely.
Windows is now partially supported in the way you can edit and publish for Android but you still can't create for IOS where a mac is required (XCode).

You can use tools like Appollo to do just that directly from Windows or Linux. Appollo is a python CLI tool.
To install Appollo run pip install appollo, then setup your developer account with Appollo (https://appollo.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorial/2_configure_app_store_connect.html) once this is done you can start building your app with appollo build start

I need to record a testcases for a react-native mobile application in ubntu using appium.

How to setup or can we setup appium on ubuntu for ios?

I want perform automation testing on IOS and Android app on ubuntu using Appium. I am new to this. Can we perform automation of IOS application on ubuntu ?
You can set up Appium on ubuntu for Android only. For iOS app testing using appium, the primary requirement is XCode which comes with only iOS Operating System which you can get only on MacBook/MacMini. However, you can set up on ubuntu for Android.
I can recommend the techstack of quamotion. They provide the necessary stubs for the required tools on ubuntu.
You can follow a tutorial on http://docs.quamotion.mobi/docs/xcuitrunner/tutorials/appium-on-raspberrypi/

cordova build IOS on windows

Is it possible to build IOS app on windows using cordova CLI on windows.
Can intel xdk be used on windows & create app for IOS ?
When using the Intel XDK, the Cordova builds are performed in the cloud. So the answer is "yes" you can build apps for iOS using a Windows machine if you are using the XDK. In reality, they are built using a cloud-based Mac that has the Xcode dev system installed on it.
However, if you wish to use Cordova CLI locally, you need a Mac to build iOS apps. The XDK cannot change that, the XDK is simply a convenient front-end for developing, debugging and building Cordova apps.
