Apple's programming language for apps is Objective-C.
The only way I know of coding iOS apps is on a Mac using the Apple made program X-Code.

Since iOS 8 apple uses Swift, which is like Objective-C but modified. Apple as a book on the app store that will teach you the basics of Swift for free.
I recommend books over tutorials on youtube.
You can make iOS apps on Windows, but it requires a few more things.
If you don't want to shell out the money to purchase a Mac just for iOS development (who does?). You could always just install OSX on a virtual machine, or even install a modifed ISO of OSX on to your PC. It is less work than it seems, worth it in the long run though.
