I know that you've been suggested to perhaps create a virtual machine with macOS installed on it on your hardware. However, according to macOS EULA it is in fact illegal to run macOS on non Apple-hardware unfortunately and you probably won't have so much luck getting the perfect hardware configuration on VM anyways!

Your best bet is to purchase a second hand Mac Mini which can solve your problem. If you temporarily need a Mac perhaps you could borrow one from a friend.

If you just need to build your application on macOS you could simply use a CI system such as CircleCI to build your application.

Technically you cannot build an IPA file that you can later install on your Apple device directly from Windows.

You have to use an external tool like Odevio (https://github.com/Odevio/Odevio-CLI). Odevio is a CLI utility that let you access a Mac build machine to generate an IPA that you can then install on your Iphone.
