In summary, Objective-C is not natively supported on Windows, but it can be installed and run using third-party software like GNUStep or Cygwin. Xcode is not available for Windows, but alternative IDEs like Code::Blocks and Eclipse can be used for Objective-C development. It is not necessary to have a Mac to learn Objective-C, but having one can provide a smoother experience. There are many online resources for learning Objective-C on Windows, including Udemy, Codecademy, and Stack Overflow. While it is possible to develop and test iOS apps using Objective-C on Windows, a Mac is still needed for final testing and deployment to the App Store.

I don't have a Mac and I'm using Windows but how do I learn Objective-C when I'm using Windows? Can I code Objective-C in Notepad++?

Sure, you can write Objective-C code using Notepad++ on Windows. You can even write it using pencil and paper. :oldwink:

But you also need something that can compile or interpret Objective-C code under Windows. Try a Google search for something like "objective-c on windows".
