Is there a way to automate mobile application testing on ubuntu with Appium to test IOS and Android ? Or we are always obliged to test with Mac. Or is there another tool that we can generate scripts with recorder that works on ubuntu ? Thanks for your answers.

It is possible. As @mani points out, Appium iOS test requires some xcode components but there exists packages which replace those components on Ubuntu.
There is a nice tutorial on Appium on linux which helps to install those.

In order to run the Appium iOS test , we need to some xcode to be installed on machine. I don't think so you can install xcode in Ubuntu.
Reason behind is :
Appium use xcode uiautomator to run the test in real device / simulator.
Still you want to run appium iOS test Ubuntu, you may ended with extra work like install VM and install MAC os in that VM so on.
