I want to develop ios apps but I don't have Mac system, I heard that we can develop without using Mac. Is that true? If so please tell me how to do that as I want to become iOS developer
In fact is required a MacOS to develop for iOS (Objective-C or Swift).
Three possible alternatives:
1- Develop using Xamarin (Programming in C#, but it converts to iOS and Android).
2- Develop with Titanium (Programming in JavaScript, also converts to iOS and Android)
3- Make a Hackintosh on your PC to run MacOS (You must have a MacOS license but Apple doesn't give any support in this case.
But as hint of a developer I would say that the best alternative is to develop with a Mac. You can find old machines on the market to start, even older machines perform very well.

I want to create app for my website,I heard that IOS app development time is less than Android thats why I want to create android app.But I have not Mac,I want to learn swift and create IOS app.Is it possible on windows?(I heard that if I use virtual box to use mac it will be illegal thats why I think they will not allow me to put my app to appstore,is not it)?
App development time is not necessarily faster for iOS than it is on Android. It all depends on what kind of app you're building, your skill level, and many other factors.
Developing iOS apps on Windows is possible but not recommended unless you really know what you're doing. I'd suggest you try building an Android app, or look into one of the many cross-platform options, like PhoneGap or Xamarin.

Is there any ide for develop iphone app on windows computer ?
I want to start to develop a i phone app on windows xp.
But i do not have mac book. I want to develop it on my windows computer, is there any application which will help me to do this ?
To develop iOS app you need mac OS X for sure, now you can have an apple machine or you can install Mac OS in non apple machine using VM, for that you can use virtual box installed in windows and then install Mac OS X on VM, there is no other way.
you can install Hackintosh in your windows to develop iphone app
You can use any one of the available tools for cross platform development, but I seriously advise against that. You should go native - the result will be much better.
Assuming you choose to go native (which, again, I highly recommend), and decide to develop your app specifically for iOS devices, you have to do this on a mac. The reason you don't want to mess with hackintosh and its counterparts (regardless of their running slowly, hard to maintain, etc) is that if you develop an app not on a mac device, and Apple finds out, you're in big trouble and will probably end up banned from the App Store. Assuming your app is built with the goal of ending up as a successful one, this is a chance that you shouldn't be willing to take.

Is there any IDE or tools which can be install/work in Windows?
No, you can't, you need a machine with OSX in order to compile Objective-C, so unless you run a virtual machine or install OSX in your computer, you can't.
You can create an App using Appcelerator, Xamarin, etc, but it won't be native Objective-C.

I want to create a mobile application for iPhone in Objective-C. The app should be equipped with a graphical user interface.
The problem is that I don't have a Mac computer so I have no access to the Xcode environment.
Is there any possibility to build my project with an online service (for example on a virtual server, remote control etc.) or can I use tools completely under Windows?
VirtualMacOSX.com have an offer for xCode development, from (as of now) $10 a month.
I am sure others have too.
Although not optimal you can run mac osx on vmware (on your windows machine), then install xcode on that. I did this for a while until I decided to bite the bullet and I bought a mac
Unfortunately there is no good way to do it, anyway you will need access to Mac computer (remote or physical, no difference).

Obviously i don't have a Mac machine. But i want do develop iOS apps on my windows OS. Also my pc doesn't support virtualization.
Is there any possible way of running xcode on windows?
No. There is no supported or legal way to do so. You'll need to buy a Mac laptop or desktop for iOS development.
The development tools for Windows Phone are free (and Android as well) and both work on Windows. :)
Sorry but Xcode is just for Mac. And you are not allowed to virtualize Mac OS X on a Windows computer, it that was what you thought about.
The thing you can do is programming web applications for iPhone, that can be used in Safari. You have a lot of JS functions, JS API, to work with and you can develop it on Windows.
