Hello Matt!

To download and use Xcode you will need to have a Mac so unfortunately you will not be able to develop iOS apps unless you are willing to download a virtual machine to run OS X on.

However, you can develop Android and Windows phone applications on Windows so if either of those interest you maybe take that path instead.

No problem!

Good luck with getting a virtual machine set up but do keep in mind that you will need to purchase a copy of OS X in order to get your virtual machine to run it.
