Answer 1

No matter which type of iOS application or libraries you want to use, you'll need a Mac to compile the project.

Xamarin iOS for Visual Studio accomplishes an amazing feat: it lets you create, build and debug iOS applications on a Windows computer using the Visual Studio IDE. It cannot do this alone – iOS applications cannot be created without Apple’s compiler, and they cannot be deployed without Apple’s certificates and code-signing tools. This means that your Xamarin.iOS for Visual Studio installation requires a connection to a networked Mac OS X computer to perform these tasks for you. Once configured, Xamarin’s tools will make the process as seamless as possible.
