XCode/Building iOS apps on a Windows machine

Hello,

I just had a quick question, I have just spun up the iOS development track and the course directs you to download XCode. Since I am using Windows, I don't have an appstore and thus, can't download XCode or even the iOS sdk. Is there a workaround (such as Dragonfire SDK) that will allow me to follow the program without leading me astray from the learning content?

No.

Only option would be to create an iOS virtual machine, if that's a possibility.

see here for other possibilities of developing for iOS on a windows machine. Though none are what I would call "ideal", you may find something that might work.
