You can develop IOS games on Windows if it comes to:

  • Developing a game which means: placing objects, code, test and such.
  • Ability to build iOS target in Windows! It’s still necessary to compile resulting Xcode project on a Mac. ( since unity3D 4.3.0 )

However, you still need to build that XCode into an real application on an IOS machine… sadly. They say Microsoft pushed people to use software, but Apple is even worse with that, you have no choice at all. >.>

Ok that would explain the reason why I can build but in the end I still need the Mac at some point.

You can build to XCode on Windows, but you need Mac to build the XCode to a working app I guess. I'm not into IOS atm but this is what I found out searching the 4.3.0 features. Correct me if I'm wrong =)

No they cannot, just like you cannot develop Windows Phone if not on Windows 8.

It sounds like he's asking about development. In which case, as long as Unity can run on your operating system, you can develop for any of the supported platforms.

Actually, it even seems that things have changed lately!!!?? Before when trying to build iOS with Windows, it would say your platform does not support, now it looks like you can. I am confusion. Now I could build iOS on my window 7 but not windows phone, a little bit of irony.
