Hello, I want to know if I can compile for IOS using delphi XE7 on Windows, when I try to compile it it tries to use the "Create a Connection Profile".

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

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

Here are some options:

  • Buy a MAC (absurd price);
  • Hackintosh (run Mac on PC)
  • Buy a MAC Mini (old) and make a gambiarra to run Yosemite (my case, I paid R $ 700)
    Tutorial: MAC MINI 2007 + YOSEMITE - YouTube
  • MacinCloud.com Service that leases 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.

    The documentation has the requirements: link 

    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.
