I'm interested in learning IOS programming but at the moment i do not have access to a Macintosh system. Just wondering if there is an equivalent of IOS SDK for Windows? I do have an iphone though :)

You can make an app for iOS even if you're on a PC running Windows 10. I wish I had known this when I first started because I delayed myself for 3 years before biting the bullet and buying a Mac.
It is not a problem at all to add another UIWindow. Just create one and makeKeyAndVisible. Done. Remove it by making another window visible, then release the one you don't need anymore.
Given that Xcode works only on macOS, a solution to get Xcode on Windows would be to install macOS on a Windows PC by means of a virtualization app such as VMware or VirtualBox. Using a virtualization platform provides users with the full functionality of Xcode on your Windows machine.
You cannot develop iOS apps without a Mac computer, but you can set up CI/CD to handle building and publishing!
You can check out GNUStep which is a cross-platform objective-c API that you can work with on windows. Not exactly the same, but you can at least get your feet wet in working with objective-c and cocoa-like objects.
