Hi

I am new here and I found Game Salad to be much better than Game Maker feature wise.

I can get a developer license but to publish on iphone, do I need to have a mac, in order to apply the developer code and all?

I am planning to buy a mini-mac but till then any way I can do this on windows without spending 1000 dollars on mac?

I better spend that money on upgrading to GS pro and on the developer license.

You need a Mac to publish to apple hardware as Apple requires you to have Xcode as it handles the certificates to validate your app.

What about a virtual mac for time being? Will that work for the start till I get the Mac, we do not really find mac in our city, maybe one or two shop selling it.

Don't know if you can run Xcode on a virtual Mac. If you order a Mac from apple online it will come in a few days.

I am not in US, so importing from US not an option. Xcode works in V Mac, but not sure how the license registration will be done when compiling.

does Xcode reads the Mac hardware code and all while submitting it to the Appstore?

Thanks, this might really help, while uploading to the Store I can use the cloud.

if u buy a retail copy from apple for a virtual mac it should be okay. i can use xcode in my osx 10.8 on my vmware. contact apple about this.
