What is the best solution / IDE etc, to develop for the iphone without using a mac OS. I mainly use Linux but have no problems with using Windows if needed.

Jump to PostI know that people been trying to come up with solution how to get around OS restriction, but as far I'm aware VM and even OS install on Intel machine failed. It somehow detected that OS is not running on Apple official hardware.

Try Android ;) no restriction on OS or IDE. You limited only by your skills and imagination :twisted:
