    You do all development on Windows, however you do need access to a Mac in order to get it onto the AppStore.

    You also need to register as an Apple iOS developer.

    You can however develop and test it on Windows. You can deploy it to multiple iOS devices plugged in your PC through ITunes. (of course for that you will need to be registered iOS dev and make a provisioning, but you will need that anyway)
    You need Mac just to release it on the market.

    An iPad is not a Mac

    You can use Windows to create your game and send it to your testing device (iPhone, iPod, iPad).

    However, you must have a Mac to be able to release your game into the App Store.

    Incorrect..
    iTunes connect will run on a PC but you can't upload finished projects via a PC because the software to do this,(application loader) will only run on a Mac!

    I read an article a while back written by one of the big chiefs at Apple and he said that it was illegal to use Hackintosh PC's...............The chances are they would never know you are, (possibly)!
    If they ever found out though, bang goes your iOS developer contract and your career is then over if you're specifically targeting iOS platforms...

    So my advice would be to avoid that route at all costs !

    Just, go to Apple store to download multiple iOS devices plug-ins for your PC and connect with iTunes.

    In my case it happened pretty fast. I sent the fax, then they answered that my card number was invalid, so I mailed the fax. All was done in less than 2 days.
