Appcelerator ios & windows bridge - ios

I read recently, that MS launched public beta of Windows Bridge - tool that can convert existing iOS application to Universal Windows app. I tried it on Hyper-V virual machine(Win10 required) and it converted my app, but when I try to build it, it throws error:
'AvailabilityInternal.h' file not found # myApp_Prefix.ch Line 12
Have you anybody tried this out? I think this can be good solution to port iOS apps created with Appcelerator Studio to WP without complete recoding.
Thank you.

I've no experience with using Windows Bridge, but why not just build your Titanium app for Windows Phone directly? Titanium supports Windows Phone 8.1 since Titanium 5.0 and the release in Q2 (5.3) will add support for Windows 10 Universal.

How to create and deploy IOS App from windows OS

I'm creating a mobile application. The requirement is that the mobile application should be deployed in Android as well as iOS. I'm able to create the application and deploy it into Android using Ionic. But how do I do that for iOS. Is there a way we can use the Ionic in Windows OS and create app that is compatible with iOS.
Similar to Android Developer Options, is there any settings in IOS phones that will enable us to deploy the IOS app and test it.
You can run Mac OS X on your Windows machine using VMWare player. try searching 'Mavericks Retail VMware Image' in google, you will get download links... Hope it helps.
You need XCode to deploy any IOS application. To get XCode, you need a Mac.
The closeset thing you can do is using RemoteBuild, but you stil need a Mac.
After installing it, you can launch a build directly from Visual Studio.
For more information and a detailed guide, you can follow this link: https://github.com/Microsoft/remotebuild
You need a macOS to test and deploy iOS application on App Store, You can't deploy application directly by using windows OS.
OR
If you want to deploy application using windows OS then you have to use any virtualization software like: Virtual Box,
vMware and install macOs.

Can ios simulator can be run in Windows

I m working on appium scripting for mobile application automation testing.
I m able to simulate android device using the emulator and run the script in the emulator.
Now my next task is to run in ios. Please let me know it is possible to do it in ios emulator in Windows machine. If so some headsup on it.
You can not. There are platforms like React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, etc which enables you develop iOS applications; but when it comes to debugging and deployment, you have to have a macOS, which in turn requires a Macintosh machine.
Yess you can use Remote simulator to windows by enabling it under
Tools >> Option >> Xamarin >> IOS setting >> Remote simulator to windows.
But you still need active mac agent connection to build your app
You can use Appium studio free community edition for testing iOS physical device from windows machine.
note:- I have tested appium studio personally and think it will be useful for others.

How to build ios application using Phonegap framework on windows OS.

I have allready build an android application using Phonegap framework, I need to develop the application for ios also using windows OS.I know that for ios we need XCode that runs only on mac machine,but is there any way to do it on windows ( as I can't afford Mac machine) ?
I searched for various options,few of them are:
1.Install mac os using VM ware.
2.Use MacinCloud Service.
I don't know what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of them, please suggest what to do?
Use PhoneGap Build. Just upload the html/js/css/config with specified plugin as zip and build it online. Unfortunatelly you will not be able to use custom plugins, only specified on the PhoneGap Build site.

A Mac build host was not automatically detected, Windows 8

I've Windows 8 and I'm trying to develop iphone application. I've downloaded and installed xamarin with ios development tools, started the visual studio 2012. So when I'am trying to create ios project, the window appears with message: "A Mac build host was not automatically detected". Can anybody help me? I searched the answer for a long time but did not succeed, thank's in advance!
Xamarin for Visual Studio still requires a Mac on the same network in order to build the app itself. iOS apps can't be built on Windows, currently.
From: http://xamarin.com/visual-studio
[...] with a networked Mac providing the build and deployment services.
