Xcode will only operate on a Macintosh using OSX. There have been rumblings about VMWare sessions and sneaky ways to get around it. But the truth is, the performance isn't worth the effort. There is no good way other than to purchase a Mac.

However, I have seen some instances online where people have installed a virtual mac terminal on their pc and gotten xcode to work that way. I have an iMac but even at that I do not have iOS 6.8 or higher (I have 6.7) therefore apple tells me I can't get xcode either. Comments I agree with Smug.

I know the cost is a bit hefty to start, but if you build that one power app you might be buying 50 MAC books! Cheers!

Its not worth the time and effort to get it to work. Comments Its possible but its really tough to do and could get your apple developer account banned.
