You need an OSX machine with XCode to build iOS executable.
You can use a cheap Mac Mini or hosted solutions for that step, but there is no way to do it with Ubuntu only.

Is that possible with VMware or virtual box?
If I have a mac then do I need to invest any bucks for a developer account. I mean to say can i run the simulator on a mac without the developer account.
As far as I know you need the account only when you want to publish to the AppStore. I was able to run Flutter apps in the Simulator and I don't have a developer account.

You cannot do it unless you use an external tool for example: Odevio. It's a python utility that let's you access a Mac build machine. It's pretty easy to use.

If you have Odevio installed you can start to build directly in the build menu.

Unless your ubuntu system is running on Apple Hardware, no.

It is not illegal to run macOS in a virtual machine on Apple hardware for any macOS since Snow Leopard Server. It is against the Apple EULA to run any macOS on non-Apple hardware, directly on the hardware or in a virtual machine.
