I concur that a new topic is in order
I'm thinking it depends on if your goal is to develop one app that works on "all" platforms or if you want to develop the iPhone version using the native Apple tool, xCode.
In looking at Mobione I'm a bit concerned about how difficult it will be to interface with a network device/bluetooth. It seems like there are plugins for this but they aren't part of the core framework so their support might be iffy and the bluetooth one will need some work.

I see there is software out there that lets you run the development on a Windows PC (Mobione) but don't know what if any restrictions it has on the apps I could develop. My app would need to handle the WiFi stream coming from a WiFi OBDII adapter.QueenBee said:It'll probably be best to go through the pains of getting OSX to run in VMWare. Are you looking for any help in porting it to OSX?Turbo3 said:Any suggestions for a Windows PC based development system for iOS apps?
One advantage of a WiFi OBDII adapter would be speed of transfer over the 9600 baud the Bluetooth adapter limits me to.
So at the moment I am looking for help in setting up the right environment to port Leaf Spy to iOS.
Perhaps I should start a separate thread for this topic.
