Hi Manu - I wish I knew the answer.  I assume you are thinking Windows.
I just looked at some stackoverflow answers, specifically at Xamarin.iOS
for Windows, and all seem to require a Mac at somepoint in the iOS dev
process.

Just thinking now as I type:
- druntime, and phobos as built should be fine, since they are already
   cross compiled for iOS/arm
- ldc could be built as an iOS cross compiler on Windows with a little
   work
- that leaves: cross linker (I think Apple open sources it), and app
   tools to create, sign, and download apps.  Maybe someone in the
   field knows a solution.
