Does a cloud IDE or another tool exist to develop and compile programs using Objective-C?
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) has an Objective-C compiler. However, the really interesting part of Objective-C is found in the Frameworks. Apple uses Cocoa which is a updated revision (more or less) of the old NextStep frameworks. There is a GNU clone called GNUStep that works fairly well, but has a steep learning curve. There is also a project on SourceForge called libFoundation which only provides some core objects and frameworks saves GUI frameworks. You should be able to install a gcc/GNUStep or gcc/libFoundation on most linux distributions so you can start playing with Objective-C without having to pay for a mac.
