Firemonkey to iPhone

Here I have my Windows laptop with Delphi XE2 and Firemonkey.

I've written a little Firemokey hello world app.
In my hand I have my new iPhone 4S that I just brought home.

What are the steps to get my Firemonkey app onto my iPhone?

You need a Mac and a membership in one of several Apple developer Programs

You can find prerequisites here

If you have an iPhone 4S with iOS 5 it is only compatible with XCode 4.2 which only runs on OSX Lion. I believe that FireMonkey and the Free Pascal modules are not yet compatible with Lion and XCode 4.2. I think I may have seen on a blog that there is a beta version of FireMonkey around which will work on Lion with XCode 4.2

I understand you will need XCode 3.2.6 on Snow Leopard which will allow you to deploy your application to an iPhone running iOS 4 if you sign up, and pay, to join one of the iOS development programs ($99).

Once you've done that there are some good tutorials on the Embarcadero web site as well as YouTube.

I've written an iOS app that runs in the simulator but I have an iPhone with iOS 5 so stuck at thsi moment as I cannot deploy to the phone. Everything else works well though and FireMonkey appears to be pretty good if you have a Delphi background and I'm sure it will get better.
