I'm evaluating a Xamarin Studio indie license which does not include VS integration - Correct me if I am wrong. But I want to know if it's possible to use Xamarin Studio to do iOS development? I'm very interested in the new feature of iOS designer announced at Xamarin Evolve, ideally it shall be possible too on Windows.
If the answer is yes, how?

Since, without using Xcode (an IDE), you cannot build or publish iOS apps. This is because Xcode only runs on macOS with the iOS SDK. However, if you wish to develop iOS app on Windows, you need virtualization software. Using a virtual machine such as VirtualBox and VMware, you get access to virtual Mac OS.
You can build apps for Android, iOS, and Windows devices by using Visual Studio. As you design your app, use tools in Visual Studio to easily add connected services such as Microsoft 365, Azure App Service, and Application Insights.
Currently it is not possible to develop for iOS using Xamarin Studio on Windows.
If you want to use Windows, you can use Visual Studio.
If you want to use Xamarin Studio, you can do so on a Mac.
Note that you will always need a Mac around, even if you're using Visual Studio.
