Hey guys, I am very keen to learn iOS Development. I looked up online and got most of what I needed for the development. But the main problem is, I don't have a Mac. And my machine isn't souped up for running a Hackintosh. So is there anyway I can do iOS development on Windows?
Also, someone told me I should go for Hybrid App Dev. I looked it up and tried it out, but had only one question. How do I integrate a Data Source in them?

Thanks in advance.

    You can do some iOS dev on Windows, but you'll need a Mac at dome point to actually compile the code.

    For developing on Windows it'll be easiest to use Xamarin or React Native. You can get a lot of work done before you need to compile on a Mac.

    For the Mac part you can use a service like http://www.macincloud.com/ to act as a build server. I ended up buying a cheap, used Mac Mini that I hooked up at home.

    I use Xamarin.Forms and test on Android on my Windows machine and then build and test on the Mac only when it's strictly necessary

    You can't do native iOS development without a Mac. Curse Apple for being Nazi terrorists.

    To follow up on that comment I own a Mac and do native iOS development... So I'm a Nazi terrorist. But not by choice Apple made me this way. I also use Arch Linux and Windows​ so I'm an os whore.

    @JonStodle Hey, thank you for commenting. Yes I tried to use Xamarin but it needed Mac to compile the code that was put of the question. But I'll sure try out this site.
    Thank you so much for your input :)

    @ryanmhoffman lmao, OSWhore is my favourite term right now. Sad thing is, my sister had a Mac that she recently sold and I had no clue she was doing it. So I lost a great reach there :(
