How to develop an iPhone application without using Mac OS?
Is it possible to develop an application on Windows XP?
You will need a mac to develop for iOS devices. Here is a quote from the Apple website with the specifics:
To develop with iOS SDK and participate in the iOS Developer Program you must have an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Refer to the iOS SDK Read Me document for full details on system requirements. You must be registered as an Apple Developer in order to access the iOS SDK and iOS SDK Read Me document.
You can read the full details on the Apple iOS dev site here.

There are many resources and tutorials mentioning iPad and/or iOS being compatible with Apple's Catalyst framework,
So, the same source-code runs on Mac OS X as well.
But does Catalyst support iPhone?
(Please tell me your personal experience to clarify this, and not that the name of iPhone operating-system is iOS)
Mac Catalyst allows iOS apps to be built for and run on macOS.
So, by definition, Catalyst apps support iOS, and usually the iPhone. The only case in which they wouldn't is if the app was specifically an iPad-only app that runs on Catalyst on the Mac, but was not enabled to run on the iPhone.
More about Catalyst: https://developer.apple.com/mac-catalyst/
You asked for personal experience: I have apps in the App Store for iOS, iPad, and Mac, via both Catalyst and non-Catalyst builds.
I have developed an app with Flutter in Windows 10 and I have my iPhone 6S. I have tried to install it through iTunes, but I can't. How can I install the app on my iPhone?
You cannot create an iOS App without a macOS machine. That is not a limitation of Flutter, but rather a problem all app developers face. No matter what technology or toolkit you use, you can only create the app on an Apple device.
Some have made a business out of that and offer you an Apple device as a service or for rent, some developers just buy the cheapest used Mac they can get away with. But you need a Mac. Sorry.
The guide on how to deploy your app when you have a Mac can be found 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 am developing a hybrid app using Cordova. I successfully tested and installed it on android. However I can not install it on iOS nor on Windows Phone. I am using Intel XDK to compile the application codes to a package. At the moment I want to verify that these hybrid apps work good enough before buying developer license for iOS and Windows Phone.
Is there any way to get the developer certificate(for iOS and anything else necessary) to successfully compile the app and create an app package?
Is it possible to install the app (packaged in the above question) without a Mac computer on iPhone?
How can I install the app on windows phone from windows 7 OS, if it is possible?
Thanks for your answers.
If you are using the Intel XDK, you can install App Preview on an iPhone, Android or Windows Phone device. This will let you test your app without an account.

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 :)
