Can you tell me how to install Xcode in windows 7 .... Or there is any other way to develop Iphone app on windows 7 ???
X-code is primarily made for OS-X or iPhone development on Mac systems. Versions for Windows are not available. However this might help!
There is no way to get Xcode on Windows; however you can use a different SDK like Corona instead although it will not use Objective-C (I believe it uses Lua). I have however heard that it is horrible to use.

I'm new to iPhone programming. Can I run Xcode on windows system? Is it possible to build an iPhone app on windows pc?
No. Xcode only runs on Mac OS X. You'll need to buy a Mac - and a recent one too, because the latest version of Xcode only runs on 10.8 now.
You can use platforms like Monotouch and Unity to develop on Windows, but you'll still need a Mac for simulation/testing and deployment.

I want to write an application for Iphone but I don't have a Mac machine. Ussually, I setup a Hackintos on my laptop to do this. Can we do this directly on window environment? which tools?
Thanks for your help!
No, you cannot do this directly from Windows. Get a mac mini.
By Apple's definition, this is impossible. They 'require' you to use a macintosh, however, you can install VMWare on your Windows machine to run Mac OSX. That should work, however I recommend you just buy a cheap Mac (used, maybe Mac Mini).

Is there a way to develop ios applications in windows?
How can i setup Xcode on Windows?
You can do this using VMWare on windows but for that you need to have Windows machine with good configuration.
But its having following drawback
1 You cant use latest MAC version
2 Its not possible to build app on device
3 and finally its very slow.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
This following information is taken from the following answer by mipadi written a few years ago. It is still relevant now:
"Xcode is written in Objective-C and takes advantage of a number of
OS X frameworks, so porting it to Windows would require porting all
the frameworks on which Xcode relies..
Also, Xcode also uses a number of programming tools that would have to
be ported to Windows as well (although some of them already are).
There are multiple reasons why X-Code isn't readily available on
Windows:
Most development of Objective-C frameworks takes place on OS X, and
a lot of the frameworks aren't open-source and thus can't be ported
to Windows (they'd have to be rewritten).
There are some open-source frameworks that could be used on Windows
-- for example, OS X's AppKit and Foundation frameworks are (mostly) available as part of the GNUstep project -- but these
frameworks
aren't widely used or supported on Windows, and sometimes lack
capabilities found in their OS X counterparts."
It is also possible to use xCode on Windows via. a Virtual Machine; however, the result will not be what you want. It will be slow, and as you won't have access to many of the important frameworks, iOS development will be out of the question.
If you just want to program Objective-C on Windows as a means of learning the language, I advise downloading Codeblocks - see this documentation in regard to configuring the Objective C Compiler on it.
You can't use XCode on Windows. I tried a few months ago for 2-3 days to make it work on windows and i finally bought a mac.
Windows is not a suported platform for Apple, but some people seems to have found a workaround:

I suppose only virtualising Mac on windows pc is the way or get a Hacintosh.

iPhone development on Windows
I need to develop an iPhone application. I have Windows XP operating system. How can I configure iOS development environment in Windows XP?
You can't. iPhone development requires XCode, which only runs on Mac OS X.
On windows you could try to build native application using Web technologies, and software like http://appcelerator.com/ . You're using one of preferable web-languages (PHP, Ruby, etc.) and it will be converted to ObjectiveC.
On Windows you can't do that. But you can maybe do it on your pc. You could try to install a Mac OS on your PC. For that consultate http://osx86.thefreesuite.com/ or http://www.hackint0sh.org/. However this is not rellay easy and you main have some disadvantages, like not fully working XCode and so on. Additionally its not very easy to install.
You could also search in the Internet for a Mac OS image which can be virtualized on PCs (e.g. by using VMWare).
Note: this is not fully legal as far as I know.
There is no chance to develop an iPhone application on the windows...
and also you can't do it on other than mac pc(you must have iMac,Mac mini,or Mac book)
you can install a Mac OS on general non mac pc.
but you can't install iPhone SDK successfully on that system...
So there is no chance to develop iPhone Application on the Windows as wel as non-Mac machine...strong text
