IPad development tools that run on Windows?

Question

I looked around a lot and did not find what I was looking for. Does anyone know about iPad (and iPhone) tools that work on Windows? I want to learn the iPad app, but I don’t want to buy a Mac yet.

I searched for related questions but couldn't find anything, so I apologize in advance if I blew this search.

Answer 4

The obvious - and currently free - is to use Adobe FlashBuilder to develop iOS apps. Includes iPhone and iPad emulator. This does not use xcode, but you get most of the features to work, and you can also develop Android applications from the same code set.

The Adobe website has detailed instructions on how to create iOS apps on Windows with Adobe Air, although the most helpful instructions for Air are from untoldentertainment.com .
