What is the ideal development host operating system for QNX development? I have read a comment that, in order of preference, it's Linux, macOS, Windows. As for developing on a MacBook Pro, one comment I've read is that because comparatively fewer people use macOS for QNX development the tools tend to be buggy and are behind in patches compared to tools for Linux or Windows.
I think that this operating system is Windows because it is the most widespread OS and Qnx Momentics works very well but you can use Momentics also under Linux or MacOS. I have been using Windows version of Qnx Momentics and don't have any problems. But one suggestion. Don't use self-hosted version of Qnx Momentics (Qnx Momentics installed on the target). It works very slowly.

The prerequisite to work with BridgeiOS is to have windows 10 and latest visual studio.
Is there a way we can develop it in Macbook?
Yes, you can develop Windows 10 apps on a Mac Book, but you will need to have Windows installed. I use a Mac Book pro, and I have three ways of running windows:
1) Installed via Bootcamp, which Apple provides
2) Installed via a virtualized piece of software, like Parallels, which allows me to boot into OS X, then into a Windows environment.
3) If you have an Azure subscription, you can create an Azure VM with Visual Studio already installed, and that way you can do development from any machine. Here is a tutorial on how to do that.
If you need a free Azure account, you may be eligible for BizSpark. This can pay for the bill for your Azure VM running Visual Studio.
Just as you need a Mac to build for iOS, you need a Windows Machine to build for Windows (even with the iOS Bridge).
However, unlike with Apple, Microsoft will let you use a virtual machine.
I have a MacBook running Windows via Parallels. There's also a free version of Visual Studio available. So it's definitely possible to build for Windows 10 on a Mac.

How can I develop for iPhone using a Windows development machine?

Hi I've recently become interested in developing applications for iOS. I've taken classes in Objective-C before, and we've always used Xcode to build and run our programs. I am a Windows user at home, and I'm not interested in buying a Macintosh. Is there any way to install Xcode on a Windows 8 PC? Any help is appreciated, thanks. :D
You can not install xcode on windows 8 because it requires MAC OS, and Windows and MAC are two different operating system.
To install xcode you have to make VM workstation on your machine and make MAC OS on that or you have to purchase a MAC Machine.
You can also have dual boot on your machine, Keep in mind that dual boot or MAC OS on VM Workstation did not support sound, wifi and some other resources.
As far as I know you cannot install Xcode on a Windows PC - just like you cannot install Visual Studio and develop for Windows on a Mac.
The only way I can think of, is if you install MacOS in a Virtual Machine (e.g. http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/07/mountain-lion-virtualbox.html)
Blackberry Simulator can't be loaded due to incompatible Java Virtual Machine. How to know which JVM is perfect for Blackberry QNX Momentics Native SDK?
Do you mean the Simulator used for BB10 Native Development (using C/C++ Cascades)? Presuming you do, this simulator is run as a Virtual Machine using VMware, not as a Java VM. You will find more of the requirements and installation details using this page:

Is there any QNX SDK available for MAC? I had found one for Windows and for Linux.. But Can't find one for MAC... Would be so helpful if anyone help me in this.
Thanks in advance.
I was going to say "no, I've never seen a Mac package for QNX", but a simple Google search reveals that if you are trying to target BlackBerry, they have something.
See this link.
If you're not targeting BlackBerry, then you should probably give their QNX-hosted development VM a try. This should work pretty well on any modern host machine.
For those targeting the QNX Neutrino RTOS:
I just found a very nice gem inside the Momentics IDE for Blackberry installed on a Mac. Simply go to File->Preferences and in the side-bar select QNX->Profiles and check the box QNX Developer.
You now have access to the QNX project wizards and can target the Neutrino RTOS. I'm developing everything on my Mac with Momentics and a QNX Neutrino target running on a VMWare virtual machine (supplied by QNX). I can connect to the VM target with qconn and going through the first steps tutorial was a breeze.
My current setup:
Yosemite 10.10.5
Momentics IDE for Blackberry IDE 2.1.2
VMware Fusion 8
QNX-supplied VMware image of Neutrino RTOS 6.5.0 SP1 runtime
I am developing iPhone and also Android applications in Apple MacBook. I want to develop Blackberry application. I am using Windows to learn for now.
Is there any software or Eclipse plugin to develop BlackBerry applications on Mac OS instead of Windows?
You may find something interesting/useful by looking at this question: installing BlackBerry Eclipse JDE plugin on Mac OS X
Unfortunately the current version of the Eclipse plug-in only supports OS6 and you must have a physical device connected to the computer. I've been using Parallels to run Windows XP on my Macbook Pro and am pretty pleased.
I am a fan of using parallels. It can run in coherence mode and also skin windows to look like your mac. I use parallels and an eclipse windows plugin.
