If you don’t have any Apple Id follow the below steps.For that firstly you need a Working Mac OS X virtual machine on VMware or VirtualBox.
Step by step procedure for Installing Xcode on Windows
Step 1: Firstly we are explaining the process of istallingXcode with VMware. For that you guys need to install the Mac OS X on windows 10, 8, 8.1 and ios using a virtualization program called VMware.
Step 2: For Mac OS X search on google and download OSX.Mavericks.ios as shown below.
Step 3: After completion of downloading the Maverick ios that is (OS X).
Step 4: Now download VMware as shown below and run the file.
Step 5: Now Open the OS X file then you can get as shown below

Step 22: After installing all components. It will asks you to start a new project.
Step 23: After completion of all settings…Enable developer mode as shown below.
Like this you can build you own apps using XCODE on windows 10, 8, 8.1 and ios…Now create a new project and build a test app.
Above we just gave a description about How to install xcode on windows 8, 8.0 and 10 using VMware.
If you want to do this from Virtual box then you need to follow few steps like first you need to have VirtualBox on your Windows computer instead of VMware.
As shown above download and install OSX Mavericks ISO as a virtual machine.After that create a virtual machine on your virtual box. Search that in google for clear explanation. After installing open the Virtual box and click on New button.After that you you will get a new window asking for the name of the new OS there you have enter name of OS as OSX also you guys need to mention the Mac OS X version and then click on next button.
