Hello. Accessibility issues aside, is it possible to create an iOS app on Titanium under Windows and run it on an actual iPhone that has not been jail broken?


Moving on from that, my understanding is that in order to submit your app to the Apple App Store at least these things need to be dealt with:
1. You have to register for $99 per year.
2. You have to meet all Apple's quality requirements.
3. Your app has to be signed on a actual mac running XCode.

Notice that only the actual signing of the app requires XCode running on a Mac, so in theory you could develop the app fully and have a registered App Store developer do the signing and submission for you. Apple might not allow this in their agreement with you, and you would be at the mercy of the person who submitted the app for you regarding receiving payment when people purchase your app.

In order to just test an app on your own phone there is a special developer's install method that will install the app only to your own phone. I'm not sure about all the details of this, but I assume you need a Mac dev stack for this.

Anyone with more info / corrections?

else has time to install it on windows and get the access bridge working
please let us know.

How come? You don't think it's swing?

Take care,

Titanium is also known as appcelerator and is accessible on the Mac with
voiceover.  It is not accessible that I have found with Windows because of
its java components.  Now maybe with the new access bridge it might be
better but I doubt it.

Hello,

I have been looking for ways to write iPhone apps and a lot of names that
keep popping up are titanium, corona and phoneGap. Could someone tell me if
these are accessible both at develop-time and at run-time? I canot seem to
find any resources on this precise issue.

Thanks in advance,
Florian__________
