Developing iOS native app in Virtual Machine

Question

Is it possible to install XCode 5 and develop an iOS app on a virtual machine (running on Windows)?

I know is not possible to upload it to the market. I'm planning on buying a Macbook in about 2 months, but I want to start now since I don't know the language, so is it possible to do this in a virtual machine meanwhile?

PS: I heard you need mavericks OS

Answer 1

Now I'm writing it from Mac OS Mavericks running on VMWare Workstation on Windows laptop. XCode works fine, i can write code and run apps on simulator and i-devices connected to USB. Last week my app created in iTunes Connect was needed to be upload (because i created it very long time ago and Apple sent me a warning letter that will remove it if I not upload build). I uploaded it without any problems (and immidiately removed it) to queit Apple. No any problems, like on MacBook :)
