Newbie Question. I just installed Corona and am trying it out for the first time. Windows 7 PRO OS 64bit. Textpad editor. The simulator only has android based devices to sim on. How can I sim on an iphone? The videos all show a MAC OS running Corona with the ability to choose the I-OS device from the drop down menu at the bottom.
Also, I don’t have the option to build for the iPhone either. What am I missing? [import]uid: 62861 topic_id: 10258 reply_id: 310258[/import]
in the windows you dont get the simulator for iphone nor build for the iphone as xcode is required to build for iphone (apple’s requirement) and xcode is not available in windows
u can use corona in windows only for android
how ever after completing code u can reuse that code for iphone by switching to mac
for just info myTouch has same resolution as iphone

You have a couple of different options here for testing iOS simulator.
It’s pretty simple really!
BUY A MAC
BUILD A HACKINTOSH (install mac os x on a laptop)
The first option, is obvious. The second option is to install OS X on a laptop if you search google: “How to install MAC OS X on a laptop” You will find information like this…
It’s a kind of long complicated process but involves buying Snow leapard from a Apple Store ($29) and installing it on a laptop (non apple). There are various sources for this information.
So, use that information however you like - I cannot confirm nor deny which option I went with
Either way, that is the option. [import]uid: 61600 topic_id: 10258 reply_id: 40416[/import]
To build for iPhone, you need Mac OSX. It’s Apple’s limitation and not Corona’s limitation.
Simulators provided by Corona SDK are merely skins. They introduced iPhone/iPad skins in windows simulator a few daily builds after last stable builds.
Daily builds are available only for subscribers.
You can still do your iOS app development on windows and use the simulator on windows to run simulations. You will need mac to build however. [import]uid: 48521 topic_id: 10258 reply_id: 40446[/import]
