Hi I was wondering if it can compile for IOS using Delphi XE7 on Windows, When I try to compile it tries to use the "Create a Connection Profile".

Is it mandatory to have a Mac to compile for IOS? How do I compile on Windows.

With experience with other platforms (Xamarin) I can state that to compile/debug it is necessary to have a MAC machine (and not just any one, you have to run the newest Yosemite version).

Here are some options:

  1. Buy a MAC (absurd price);
  2. Hackintosh (run MAC on PC)
  3. Buy a MAC Mini (old) and do a gambit to run Yosemite (my case, I paid $ 700)
    Tutorial: MAC MINI 2007 + YOSEMITE - Youtube
  4. Macincloud.com Service that rents virtual MAC machines, has developer-focused settings like:
    • Xcode with Application Loader and iOS Simulator for Apple Developers
    • Xamarin Studio with Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Mac, Xamarin.Android
    • RAD Paserver XE8, XE7 upd1, XE7, XE6 upd1, (Delphi Platform Assistant Server)
    • Among others.

  • I liked the idea of Macmini, I had already thought about it. Tell me if possible, the video output is hdmi? The mouse is usb or is a "mac-mouse", the performance (only for application development and not games) is acceptable? Thank you

  • In my case is DVI, but I bought an HDMI adapter to connect on TV. The keyboard is MAC and the mouse NORMAL USB. Performance for development is smooth. OBS: WIFI did not take, I am used wired network, I saw an adapter in ML that seems to be compatible but I have not bought.

    700 what? Euros or real?

  • :) Bought used in ML, real same.

  • It sure seems like a far superior solution to hackintosh... I was going to ask the same question as @ramaral, if this value was already with the "exchange rate"

In the documentation are the requirements: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE7/en/Installation_Notes_for_XE7#Requirements_for_Developing_iOS_Applications

Requirements for Developing iOS Applications

    PC running Windows connected to an Intel-based Mac, or a Mac running Windows in a VM, with 2 GB RAM or more.
    The Mac must run OS X 10.9 or 10.8, with the latest version of Xcode that supports iOS 7 or iOS 8.
    An Apple Developer account is required to deploy iOS apps to physical devices.
    Platform Assistant server (paserver) installed on the Mac:

    Alexandre is a good answer, but consider editing it by adding something like: It is possible but some requirements are necessary as described in the documentation.. It’s just a suggestion.
