Starting iPhone app development in Linux? [closed]

by

I’ve heard that you need to get a Mac if you want to develop iPhone apps. Is this true?

Is it possible to develop iPhone apps using Linux? If yes, what do I need and where do I download the necessary tools?

To provide a differing response, I’m running OS X and Xcode on a virtualised (VMware) machine on Linux. CPU is a Core2Quad (Q8800), and it is perfectly fast. I found a prebuilt VM online (I’ll leave it to you to find)
Xcode/iPhone development works perfectly, as does debugging via USB to the phone itself.

It actually surprised me a lot – but I’ve had no issues at all.
