No, all development is still ONLY done under Windows. You cross compile to OS X and iOS. You also remote debug to OS X and iOS. I still think forcing a Windows licence for somebody that wants to develop for iOS only is bad. After all, Apple already forced you to purchase Apple hardware to develop for any of their platforms. But what I was getting at is that Embarcadero made cross compiling and remote debugging a no-brainer. Trying to do the same thing with FPC and Lazarus IDE is a huge pita! I'm not saying its impossible, it's just not nearly at the convenience level Delphi does it.

I consider Linux and OS X similar - both *nix type OS'es. Delphi manages it, though I don't know the exact details of how they do it. I believe they get around the linking problem (and remote debugging) by using the PAServer, and using XCode command line tools for the final step in building a project.
