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)

I have notebook with the AMD FX 7500 processor and Windows 10 pro.
I also have installed VS 2015 Community and Xamarin. Is it possible to debug developed iOS application without iPhone? If yes, then how ?
You cannot build, run or test an iOS app without a Mac.
You may install Mac OS on VM on a PC but it's illegal (Apple does not allow this in the Mac OS TOS) and it often does not really work.
As Xamarin doc says:
There are a few requirements that must be adhered to when developing
for iOS in Visual Studio. As briefly mentioned in the overview, a Mac
is required to compile IPA files, and applications cannot be deployed
to a device without Apple’s certificates and code-signing tools. Also,
the iOS simulator can be used only on a Mac.
No. You have to have an OSX machine to act as a build host.
I'm trying to set up the environment for installing an iOS App developed by Delphi XE7. The thing is my Mac OS X is the version 10.6.8 and the higgest Xcode I can install is the 3.2. Is it possible to work with such scenario?
The documentation answers your question
Requirements for Developing iOS Applications
PC running Windows connected to an Intel-based Mac, or a Mac running Windows in a VM, with 2 GB RAM or more.
The Mac must run OS X 10.9 or 10.8, with the latest version of Xcode that supports iOS 7 or iOS 8.
An Apple Developer account is required to deploy iOS apps to physical devices.
Platform Assistant server (paserver) installed on the Mac:
emphasis mine.

I want to develop iOS application with swift in windows 8.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance for helping.
All you need for iOS application development is xCode and xCode can not run into windows so simply it is not possible to develop an iOS application with windows pc but there is many ways to run mac OS into windows OS.
One way is you can download mac os x 10.9 vmware preinstalled copy from the internet and if you follow the step by step installation you can simply run a mac os to your windows pc.
After that you can download xCode and you can start developing an iOS application and lot more.
But one disadvantage of this is it will be slow compare to real mac.
May be this can help you.
No you cannot develop iOS application on windows 8.
You must have mac os in your machine for application development.
I am attempting to build iOS apps in C# in Visual Studio with the help of the Xamarin software. My question is, is there any other solutions for resolving the build host connection between my Mac and PC? I have successfully downloaded the Xamarin software on the PC but on my mac i cant install Xamarin because it has the 10.6.8 software but Xamarin needs 10.7.0 at the least. I have already installed Xcode successfully as well.
Unfortunately you will need to update your Mac build host machine to 10.7 in order to use the cross platform building solution provided by Xamarin.
This is because one of the key requirements is that you have Xamarin.iOS installed on the Mac build host which, as you mentioned, requires 10.7.

I'm a Junior Mobile Developer, I want to install xcode in a Windows 7, or similar software. Anyone know a solution ? For Android I use Eclipse.
sorry but there is no xcode for windows
xcode is mac only and needs osx 10.7+
you can not install XCode in a Windows, but you can use OS X through vmware in a Windows and then you can install XCode in OS X.
