Hi Niyamat,

The only options you have is:

  1. Running OS X within a virtual machine which is slow and can yield inconsistent results
  2. or buy something like a Mac mini

Other than that you can't run a native iOS development environment within Windows without using software such as Xamarin which is very expensive just to learn with and uses C# instead of Objective-C and Swift.
