Is there any chance that MoSync will be able to create apps directly for iOS, instead of just Xcode projects?
I believe MoSync at one point was forced to generate Xcode projects because Apple did not allow 3rd party developer tools. Of course, that limitation no longer exists.

Hello rogerdahl,
Now you can create .app file using MoSync on mac with appropriate developer certificates installed on your machine. Which is directly installable on your iOS device. That .app file can also be installed directly on your iTunes and later you can sync your iOS device with your iTunes. However, on PC, one can only generate Xcode project (yet).

Thanks, Abi.
I'm looking forward to getting that functionality on Windows. It would also be great if an option to create a .app file without certificates was included (it would be usable on jailbroken devices).
Note: Building of iphone projects is still done by xcode in order to assure compliance with the app store rules. I.e. no windows support and that will most likely remain the case in forseeable future. You can however write additional code to the "package" program to do what you like :)

That's what I was getting at -- it is no longer necessary to use Xcode to be in compliance with Apple's rules. With Marmalade, an app can be both developed and submitted to the App Store without Xcode and without a Mac.
That sounds interesting. We will discuss it in coming days.
Thanks for the information sharing.
