1 You can dual boot a PC into OSX (google Hackintosh). It is also possible to run OSX in a VM. Both of these are against Apple's license agreement but you can by a copy of OSX so you are morally covered if not legally.

As an owner of XE2 I believe we have the tools for this. However I do have some question... 1) Is Mac OS required. I understand there is an emulator to test apps but do we actually need to buy a Mac to do this work? (would add a significant cost to the project). 2) What database would we use, our data is in Firebird but I believe their is no embedded FB for IOS. Is there a standard / built in DB that we would use and populate data from say XML recieved via Http? 3) I assume I can use http(s) for communication, can I also use FTP? What components would I use (Indy ?) 4) what about deployment? I have used App store but how do we ship out our app, we wouldn't really want to put it out on app store. 5) what about updates ? Does anybody have any recommended sites? Thanks Rob p.s. yes I have only just started looking into this ! _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe
