Official iPhone SDK for Mac needed to test/build RhoHub applications?

I've seen conflicting information on this. If I'm using RhoHub (Rhodes) to build an iPhone application, do I need to have a Mac in front of me or use their SDK with some kind of virtualized trickery? Or does Rhodes include a native Windows solution for testing/deployment?

I'm currently in a Windows XP environment.

It looks like iPhone app development is now possible in Windows.

You would need a Mac. The documentation states that:

iPhone versions of Rhodes apps need to be built on Mac machines.

Additional Prerequisites for iPhone are:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or greater (Snow Leopard)
  • the iPhone SDK installed (Apple only lets you submit apps for 3.0 or higher, so that is also required for Rhodes, starting with Rhodes 1.2)
  • the XCode IDE(highly recommended but not actually required)

Refer to this document: http://wiki.rhomobile.com//index.php?title=Building_Rhodes_on_Supported_Platforms#Build_Application_with_XCode
