I've seen conflicting information on this. If I'm using RhoHub (Rhodes) to build an iPhone application, do I need to have a Mac in front of me or use their SDK with some kind of virtualized trickery? Or does Rhodes include a native Windows solution for testing/deployment?
I'm currently in a Windows XP environment.
You would need a Mac. The documentation states that:
iPhone versions of Rhodes apps need to be built on Mac machines.
Additional Prerequisites for iPhone are:
- Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or greater (Snow Leopard)
- the iPhone SDK installed (Apple only lets you submit apps for 3.0 or higher, so that is also required for Rhodes, starting with Rhodes 1.2)
- the XCode IDE(highly recommended but not actually required)
