Will apple release Xcode for windows

I have recently tried to get the iOS SDK just to find that Xcode is only availible on the Mac App Store. I am running windows and I dont want to use some 3rd party compiler to develop. I also know that it is not possible to legally run OS X on a Windows PC either by dual booting or running a VM. Does anyone know is apple are planning on releasing a version of Xcode for windows or if i will have to buy a mac or use a 3rd party SDK.

If you're planning on submitting apps to the Mac App Store or the iTunes App Store, you'll need a Mac.

    Will Apple release ITunes for Windows XP 64bit?

    WARNING: This procedure involves moving, deleting, modifying, and copying system files and possibly sytem registry entries. If you make a mistake you can kill your system [I killed two of mine until I
    figured out the problem with the outdated GEAR drivers]therefore:
    1)Back up your entire system or better yet, get a cheapie new HD like Western digital 2 TB for $69-129 depending whether on sale or not and reinstall your system from scratch on the new drive. If
    computer kraps out you just put the old drive back in.
    2) Some of the procedures here may not be exactly what YOU see on YOUR specific model of computer. I've tried it on a COMPAQ sr1610nx with xp64, I've tried it on a Dell Alien with xp64, and on a
    Gateway GM5442, and will now try from scratch to format harddrive, load xp64, device drivers, OS service packs and patches, AVG free, flash, java, and itunes.
    3) I wrote these instructions down from memory. Read and understand entire procedure before you start. There is some troubleshooting you may need to do to make it work on your particular system. This
    procedure works on 3 different models of 64 bit cpus. One CPU is an INTEL(Gateway), one CPU is an AMD X2 64-bit 4800+ Toledo(Compaq sr1610ns), and the other is an AMD x2 64-bit 3500+(DELL Alien). This
    shows the capability exists on both Intel and AMD x64 architectures.
    4) The current version 10.6.3 will work with modifications(including syncing ipod with ios5 and syncing cd and dvdrom ).
    PROCEDURE: 1)Using you IE 64-bit browser download iTunes64Setup.exe from URL http://www.apple.com/iTunes/download/ to a new directory (For Example: ITUNES-1063-XPX64-TEST).
    2) Using you IE 64-Bit browser download GEAR Drivers at URL http://www.gearsoftware.com/downloads.php?dir=updates/windows/drivers/&file=Driv er_Installer_x86_x64.exe.
    3)Using your IE 64 browser download ORCA Editor at URL http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=Orca&tag=404&searchtype=download s .
    4) Using your IE 64 browser download 7-Zip at URL http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=7-Zip&platformSelect=&tag=srch&s
    earchtype=downloads&filterName=platform%3DWindows%2CMac%2CiOS%2CAndroid%2CWebwar e%2CMobile&filter=platform%3DWindows%2CMac%2CiOS%2CAndroid%2CWebware%2CMobile .
    5)Use 7-Zip to extract Itunes64Setup.exe into sub components.
    6)Use Orca to open and edit iTunes64.msi.
    7)Change Launch Condition from VersionNT64>=600 to VersionNT64>=501. Change ((VersionNT=501 AND ServicePackLevel>=2) OR VersionNT>501) to ((VersionNT=501 AND ServicePackLevel>=2) OR VersionNT>=501)
    8) Save and exit iTunes64.msi.
    9) Use Orca to open and edit AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi.
    10) Change Launch Condition from (VersionNT=501 And ServicePackLevel>=2) Or VersionNT>=600 to (VersionNT=501 And ServicePackLevel>=2) Or VersionNT>=501
    11) Save and exit AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi.
    12) Use Orca to open and edit AppleApplicationSupport64.msi.
    13) Change Launch Condition from (VersionNT>=501 AND ServicePackLevel>=2) OR VersionNT>501 to (VersionNT>=501 AND ServicePackLevel>=2) OR VersionNT>=501
    14) Save and exit AppleApplicationSupport64.msi.
    15) Use Orca to open and edit Bonjour64.msi.
    16) Change Launch Condition from (VersionNT>=501 AND ServicePackLevel>=2) OR VersionNT>501 to (VersionNT>=501 AND ServicePackLevel>=2) OR VersionNT>=501
    18) Install itunes64.
    19) Shutdown and Reboot.
    20) Search your PC for GEAR*.*
    21) Delete all the files found that are deleteable.This will get rid of the bogus Gear drivers (Version 2.2.0.1 from 2008 and 2009) that iTunes installs.
    22) Run Gear drivers installer you downloaded earlier. This will load the correct Gear drivers (Version 2.2.2.0 [or 2.02.02.00- depending where you look in windows for the version number] from 2011 and
    2012 drivers versus defective 2008 and 2009 drivers). The Gear driver connects the cdrom to itunes for sync. The usbappl driver connects the iPod to itunes for sync (Via the USB).
    23) Ensure the file GEARAspiWDM.sys, usbaapl64.sys, also ksthunk.sys is in C:\Windows\system32\Drivers. If not search and locate these files. Then copy them to the correct directories Remember to set
    your More advanced options to Search system folders, Search hidden files and folders, and search subfolders.
    24) Now you must verify registry entry for UpperFilters exists and has GEARAspiWDM for value.
    25) Go to Start, then Run, then enter regedit, then OK. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SYSTEM, then CurrentControlSet, then Control, then Class, then {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}, then
    UpperFilters, right mouse click and select modify, then verify the Value data has the entry GEARAspiWDM. If not go back to {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and right mouse click select new, then
    Multi-String Value, then name it UpperFilters, right mouse click and select modify and enter GEARAspiWDM for Value data, select OK and close registry.
    26) Shutdown and reboot.
    27) Now you need to update the cdrom/dvd driver and the USB driver.
    28) Go to Start, then Control Panel, then System, then Hardware, then Device Manager, select DVD/CD-ROM drives, select Don't search. I will choose the driver to install, then select Next, ensure Show
    compatible hardware is checked. Select CD-ROM as the driver, then Next, then Finish.
    29) Shutdown and reboot.
    30) Start computer, plug in iPod to USB, wait for windows to detect the device, probably detected as a camera. Go to Control Panel, then System, then Hardware, then Device Manager, and find the iPod.
    31) Right mouse click and select Properties, then Driver.
    32) Select Update Driver, then select Install from a specific location (Advanced), then Next, then select Don't search, I will choose the driver to install, then select Next, ensure Show compatible
    hardware box is checked, select USB driver for iPod, then Next, then Finish.
    33) Shutdown and Reboot.
    34) Start iTunes. Ignore the message iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTUnes (This message comes from the device driver install failure for the
    cdroms because the current Itunes installer still contains the bogus outdated Gear drivers). Select OK.
    35) Now Itunes should work.

    I am trying to update my iTunes on my PC and I keep getting this message after I click the button to install the update ... "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature and will not install
    Okay. Rather than using Apple Software Update, let's try updating your iTunes using an installer downloaded from the following location:
    Latest iTunes Installer
    Does the install using the iTunesSetup.exe from there go through any better? If not, what error message do you get from that?

  • Apple Software Update for Windows will not download and update

    When Apple Software Update for windows comes up, I select the items to update, I accept the eula, the bottom half of the window rolls up and rolls back down and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Apple Software Update. If I download the updated individually (outside of Apple Software Update) they work fine

    Hmmmmm.
    Try checking the rules in your firewall software. Is Apple Software Update being allowed full access to the internet?

  • 9iAS release 2 for Windows?

    I see from the certification matrix that there is a 9iAS release 2 for Windows (NT/2000/XP/whatever flavour, presumably). However, when I look at the download/documentation areas, I can't find any reference to it. There's release 1 for everything in sight and release 2 for all flavours of Unix, but no Release 2 for Windows.
    If it's not available, and not likely to be available for a while, can someone please tell me? It will save me looking any further. I am about to go out and buy a server, and need to choose the OS for it (and specify the hardware, so I need installation guide and release notes). If I can get 9iAS release 2 for Windows, I might get Win2K, but if I can't then I'll have Linux on there.

    The release date has slipped. We've found some issues which must be fixed before we can release on Windows. Hopefully we will have it soon.

  • Quicken 4 Release 2 for Windows

    I would like to dispose of my old(ish) desktop running Windows XP and replace with an iMac.
    My main problem is that I run Quicken 4 Release 2 for Windows. I am located in the UK and Intuit no longer supports this market. My question is: Does anyone in the UK have experience of running this software on a mac? I know that Qyucken 4 will not run properly (or in some cases even install) on a PC running Vista, but if I could be sure of running the software on an XP equipped iMac, it would make my buying decision easier.

    Hi,
    XP with SP2 is a neccessity if you use Apples BootCamp for installation.
    With virtualization apps like Parallels; VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox you can use XP versions prior to SP2.
    But since the SP2 introduced some significant upgrades to XP I would always suggest to use XP with SP2.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Is there a version of XCode for windows?

    I am a big developer in android and windows apps. And looking to get involved in iOS app dev.
    I dont own a Mac, so is there a vesrion of XCode for windows?
    Or is a virtual machine my only option?

    This from the Lion EULA:
    "2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
    A. Standard and Preinstalled Apple Software License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
    License, unless you obtained the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, on Apple-branded
    physical media (e.g., on an Apple-branded USB memory stick) or under a volume license,
    maintenance or other written agreement from Apple, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license
    to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at
    any one time. For example, these standard single-copy license terms apply to you if you obtained the
    Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware."
    The key words are in bold.

  • So when will Apple release their own iOS file browser built into the OS? No third parties apps....

    iOS devices should have a native file brower app built into the OS... (It's hard to believe that Apple iOS devices can't read files from a Apple Time Capsule, right out of the box.) A iOS Finder should be preinstalled on all iOS devices. This is one feature that all other OS such as Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile have preinstalled on their own devices. So when will Apple release their own iOS file browser built into the OS? Please do not over look this request...

    "This is one feature that all other OS such as Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile have pre-installed. . ."
    Which is why those devices don't outsell; not as popular; or as desirable as Apple's iDevices.
