Is it possible to publish a game on iOS using a virtual machine on windows?

Hi,

I don't have a mac, I'm not planning to buy one either.
But I heard publishing to iOS requires a mac.

Would it be possible to publish a game to the appstore by using a virtual machine on WINDOWS running Mavericks OS?

I'm not sure how Apple validates the MacOS. Do you just need it as a platform?
Or do you need to provide some valid license codes /certificates to be allowed to publish on their stores?

Anyone got experience in this matter?

    Yes you can run a boot leg version of Mac on your Windows PC. Apple will make you jump through hoops to prove that you are publishing through a Mac but using xcode through the bootleg will work too.

    However, you may need Yosemite as Apple are checking developers are all using the latest iOS and latest Xcode.
