How to get Cocoa support on linux

I am working through the objC track and although nothing is said about it it seems that mac OSX SDK is necessary for this. Anyone know how this can be done equivalently on Ubuntu 12.04?

There may be some other objective c compilers out there, but if you want to develop for iOS you will have to use a Mac running xcode. Like I said there may an objective c compiler you could use for the objective c course, but if you want to continue the track and develop iPhone apps beyond the objective c and c course you will need your own Mac, or rent one via a service such as [Mac In Cloud](macincloud.com)
