iPhone/iPad export Eclipse Plug-ins

I was wondering are there any Eclipse plug-ins will that let me export my files (already packaged in the iPhone/iPad format) so that I can send to Apple for review. I don't have a Mac so XCode is out of the question.

I already have a plug-in to work in Objective-C, I just need a plug-in to export in iPhone/iPad format.

Even though you can conceivably compile Objective-C from Eclipse, you don't have the Cocoa Touch, Foundation, or any other libraries that will be required to build a functional iOS app. You won't have a simulator. You won't have any way to codesign and build/compile your apps for the hardware. You won't have the tool to submit them.

You'll find a number of folks who have attempted to go down this road before - it's a dead end. The easiest / cheapest solution is to buy a used Mac Mini and hook it up to your currently owned accessories (monitor, keyboard, mouse).

You are out of luck my friend, Apple uses Application Loader (a mac application) to upload the files to iTunes Connect.
