Native use of FPC+Lazarus on MacOS X is fine.
Even native use of FPC+Lazarus on Mac OS X cross compile to IOS is fine
using the specialized Lazarus + FPC 2.7.1 + the packakge provided by
www.pas4mobile.com
I have deployed an IOS app on my Ipod touch without problem (of course,
you need to eventually spent a minute to use XCode to recompile the app
and install it to ipod touch due to Apple's regulation).
You can even debug it line by line within Lazarus using the IOS
simulator running on Mac OS X.

It doesn't need to be!
Having tested Delphi XE4 recently with iOS and MacOSX development. I was
simply amazed at how easy it was to develop for an alternative platform,
including remote debugging and deployment - it fact developing for the
iOS target was just as simple as developing for the Win32 or Win64 or
MacOSX targets.
So they support now native development on MacOS X as well? Or is cross
compilation from win still the only way? Then this explains a lot: the
mainly used development setup works always the best by far.
There is still a huge gap in FPC and Lazarus's usability when it comes
to developing, debugging and deploying to alternative targets.
Cross compilation *to* win from any targets works very well with FPC.
The problem are platforms like linux where linking is basically
impossible without having the libraries of the target system available.
