He wants a one-step Android apk build from the AppGameKit IDE.

iOS testing and publishing requires, by contract, a Mac to build it on.

Can the fruitpeople actually tell if one used a mac-emulator on a PC and compiled on? Not even saying I know those exist, because I don't. But just wondering how they know what it's compiled on.

Specifically, it needs to be compiled and packaged with Xcode. Otherwise they won't accept an iOS app. And I don't believe you can get Xcode working on a PC.

But you absolutely have to sign up with the iOS Developer's Program.

EDIT: And, yes, they can tell if the app was built with Xcode.

No, as long as it is compiled through Xcode the final build is indistinguishable whether you used a Hackintosh or a legitimate Apple computer. Of course going the virtual machine route on PC violates Apple's user agreement, but to answer your question Apple cannot detect this.

+1 for one click compile to Android .APK. IOS would be nice, but I dont think it would be possible.

After the inital set up apk generation can be done in less than a minute (if you keep eclipse open )

I used LiamBradbury's guide here:

One click iOS will never happen unless Apple changes their rules. They require that submitted apps be compiled and packaged by Xcode.

Some other development kits do offer automated services over the cloud for building the iOS and Android packages without needing to go into Xcode or Eclipse, but even those do require that the user have a Mac for iOS for the certificate signing reasons (e.g., Phonegap Build provides a free service that does this for unlimited open-source projects and one private project, or $10/month for unlimited).

The initial setup for compiling an Android app can be a bit tedious, but as others have mentioned once everything has been prepared it is not very difficult to build new apps and get them on the market.

I definitely want to do this for AGK. The method I used for Freedom uses byte offsets to change the package name in a compiled file, so with the constant changes to 108 I'm holding off until that is done. But it is entirely feasible that I can create a web page where you can upload your media folder as a zip file, including bytecode, and have it return an APK. It is also possible we can make APKs suitable for submitting to the Google Play store. Watch this space.

You still have to get the Xcode project from the Windows machine to the Mac (as far as I know there is no way to run Xcode in Windows directly and have it produce the correct output).

And you would still need to edit the Xcode project to set the certificates (required by Apple) so that it could be compiled by Xcode and run on iOS devices.

Yes I know but I'm working on Mac and I have made a lot of iOS Apps so I know the procedure.
It would be very nice to just click compile for iOS and the XCode project was made.

AGK for Pascal makes XCode projects.

Have a look at how easy it is!

T2 always offered 1 click app generation both on android and ios.

once you have a basic template you just put in your .cpp and data files and off your go.

T2 rulez!
