I have deployed an IOS app on my Ipod touch without problem (of course,
you need to eventually spent a minute to use XCode to recompile the app
and install it to ipod touch due to Apple's regulation). <br>
<br>
You can even debug it line by line within Lazarus using the IOS
simulator running on Mac OS X.<br>

It doesn't need to be!
Having tested Delphi XE4 recently with iOS and MacOSX development. I was
simply amazed at how easy it was to develop for an alternative platform,
including remote debugging and deployment - it fact developing for the
iOS target was just as simple as developing for the Win32 or Win64 or
MacOSX targets.

So they support now native development on MacOS X as well? Or is cross
compilation from win still the only way? Then this explains a lot: the
mainly used development setup works always the best by far.

There is still a huge gap in FPC and Lazarus's usability when it comes
to developing, debugging and deploying to alternative targets.

Cross compilation *to* win from any targets works very well with FPC.
The problem are platforms like linux where linking is basically
impossible without having the libraries of the target system available.
