Nothing from fox will work on an iPad. It's an Apple Product and they say what can be run on it and what cannot. There is no middle ground. Yes you could do a Web page and have it all work there but then it is a web page and not an iPad app. Objective C is what you will need to learn. I looked at it and felt that Objective C was C-Lite. Just as in lite beer this is considered piss by many who work with C++. That was a long discussion at the last hockey game I went to and was the outcome of 4 nerds who write C++ code for a living.
