Hello I made an OS X app and i want it also to be useable on Windows(windows8).
Is there a way to let it run on Windows?
It doesn't matter if I have to compile it again with an other compiler as Xcode uses.
The code is written in objective C.


If you are able to recompile it, then you can use Cocotron to set up a cross-toolchain targeting Windows (this project also comes with the necessary runtime support, such as a port of AppKit).

How can I program in Objective-C under Linux? Is there any compiler or IDE avaiable that allows me to program in that language?

There's this great website called GNUstep. They have some API's that help you with Objective C on Linux. The download & installation instruction page is here.
Yes, this question is a duplicate by the way. Check the links provided by Josh Caswell above to find even more detailed answers.

Recent GCC compilers (current version is 4.8 in october 2013) can be used as Objective C compilers (perhaps for some old dialect of Objective C). On Debian or Ubuntu, install some gobjc package, e.g. aptitude install gobjc-4.7
However, this does not mean you can build with them programs for Apple hardware.

Can someone please give me instructions?

You can use GNUStep http://www.gnustep.org/. You can also use Eclipse CDT with GNUStep, see configuration here http://wirecode.blogspot.com/2007/11/objective-c-and-eclipse.html

You might be able to compile Objective C code on a Windows machine using the GNUStep toolchain. But this will not allow you to write iPhone apps, as the Objective C runtimes are very different, so you won't be able to link with any of Apple's iOS frameworks, or use much of their example code.

How can I develop for iPhone using a Windows development machine?

I am currently designing and planning an app that I intend to release for iPhone and iPad. I don't currently have a Mac, so I really have no way to actually publish the app, but I don't really want to buy a Mac either just for the development of the app.
Is there any way that I can write (and maybe even test) the app on Windows, then, once I have a finished product, buy a Mac or borrow a friends Mac to publish it.
I know that there is no way to publish to the Apple App Store without a Mac, but I was wondering if there is a way that I could develop and test the app (in Objective-C) on Windows.

I was wondering if there is a way that I could develop and test the app (in Objective-C) on Windows.
No, there is not. XCode is required for iOS development, and it is only available on Mac OS.

You could get a second, cheap hard drive, and install OS X on the hard drive to make your computer into a Hackintosh. You'd need a copy of OS X, and a willingness to break the TOS for the operating system.

This is actually a very frequently asked question, and I'm afraid the answer is no, you cannot do iOS development on Windows.
Back in the iPhone OS 2.0 days there was a cross-compiling framework that did accomplish this but it's abandoned and doesn't work for years now and AFAIK nobody bothered to make it work again (it's a lot of work and requires intimate knowledge about cross-compiling and hunts a constantly moving target).
The usual recommendation is to buy a used Mac Mini since they're cheaply available on sites like eBay.

duskwuff is right to a point... XCode itself is not actually requred in fact there is IDEA's AppCode IDE. Unfortunately, that only runs on OS X. The best thing you can do (other than get a cheap Mac) is install GCC on windows or a Linux VM compile from the command line, as GCC can compile Objective-C. However, that still is not a good solution since you won't have Access to Cocoa Touch and all those calls will error out as undefined or undeclared....

No, you can't. If your going to buy a Mac to publish in the future, why not just buy it now?

You can use OS X in a virtual machine on your windows system. I have read few articles on the internet how to do it using VirtualBox for that (google for it). Even if it's not officially supported by VirtualBox, it's possible. This breaks the TOC for OS X, and you need to buy a copy as well, but VirtualBox is free.

Yes you can!!!
Use virtual box.
Search some guides on "lifehacker.com" about getting mac on virtual box.
It's what I always used before getting a mac.
