Is it possible to create an app using Flash and Adobe AIR that runs on iOS? I thought Apple had eliminated the possibility of using Flash- does AIR have a solution? What kind of problems are there?
Yes. You can create AIR applications for iOS. (What Apple doesn't allow is running Flash in a browser/web view.)
You can use Adobe Air cross platform for iOS and Android and also you can upload final product on app store.
With adobe air you can compile and debug ios and android applications faster than other tools like xamarin,appcelerator etc.
Another benefit is that you are using same codes for both platforms
with Flashdevelop free ide you are just choosing platform when compiling apk or ipa.
Also you can develop ios applications on windows machine without xcode sdk.
You just need mac when uploading to applestore.
To install ipa to devices via usb you don't need mac or xcode.

I am developing an application by using React-Native. My operating system is Windows 10. I want the application to be competible with both iOS and Android. I am using Expo for the development. In expo,
There are above choices, since I don't have an iOS simulator, the second choice gives an error. How can I install an iOS simulator to my computer?
As of now, you can not create a simulator inside windows but there are many browser-based iOS stimulations available you can use them.
one of them is Appetize.io here It is free for use but you have to upload your app manually. There are many other options available. read here.
I really dont get it. I see I can develop Iphone Apps with
xcode (objective-c / swing)
xamarin
phonegap
titanium appcelerator
....
But do I need a Mac even with phonegap etc. or is it possible to develop on windows with those Frameworks?
You can completely develop iOS in Mac using Xamarin with the help of Xamarin Live Player.
You can debug,develop and deploy without any help of mac but to sign and release the app you will still need a Apple system
You need an actual iOS device to fully develop and test all of the app's device features before submitting to the App Store. More here.
I already have some apps created with Adobe AIR on Android market and I'm planning to use Adobe AIR to create apps for iOS.
It will be very helpfully for me and others like me to share some resources that you use to create AIR apps for iOS. By resources I mean: Softwares to emulate iOS devices or maybe other softwares that are needed, and so on...
Do you need extra expenses beside market's fee ?
What tools do you use to develop or test iOS apps on Windows, except Flash AIR ?
Any other informations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
If you want to simulate iOS devices, you need a Mac with XCode on it.
I used the build in emulator and real devices (most often). Although not totally related but use Adobe Scout for debugging (all kinds of info like network calls, gpu rendering etc.) on real devices very helpful since you don't have Xcode's Instruments at you disposal.
I am trying use IOS Simulator/Emulator or iOS SDK in windows PC for Mobile application Test.Is it possible to install IOS Simulator/Emulator or iOS SDK in windows PC
No you cannot do this legally but you can test your app on any platform by uploading your app on app.io and just run it anywhere.
NO, You need Apple Device (iMac, Macbook, Mac Mini) to develop iOS Applications and iPhone/iPad for Testing on devices. Apple provides Xcode it's Integrated Development Environment Tool only for the MAC. Please use Apple Devices, register for Developer program and use their resources. click on https://developer.apple.com for all the info.
Have you heard about the virtual box..?, It may fulfill your need. It will run the windows macintosh (hackintosh) on it. You can develop apps there and see your apps on simulator too. The main task is to download a working macintosh set up in a virtual box. You can get many tutorials for it on google. If you need any help, please revert to me, Thanks :)
I have a JQuery Mobile app. I'm curious how it looks/runs within an iPhone. I do not have an iPhone. I also, do not have a MAC. Are there any downloadable tools that I can use on a Windows 7 machine to see how the app looks within iPhone?
Thank you!
If you just need to see how your JQM app looks on iPhone you can try iphonetester.com.
You can also might be interested in much more advanced web based tool BrowserStack.
And finally if you need more than that (for example attach to iOS Safari instance to debug your mobile app code) than you need real or virtualized OSX and xCode iOS Simulator.
You can't do that in the Windows environment.
But you can use your computer to create a hackinntosh. A hackintosh is simply any non-Apple hardware that has been made—or "hacked"—to run Mac OS X. This could apply to any hardware, whether it's a manufacturer-made or personally-built computer.
Than you can use it to test an iPhone jQM app in the XCode iPhone emulator. Only downside of this method is that you can not use it to deploy final all into Apple app store.
Here's a short tutorial on what is a hackintosh and how you can deploy it on your computer: http://lifehacker.com/5841604/the-always-up+to+date-guide-to-building-a-hackintosh
