In order to test and or deploy to iOS devices you need an Apple Account and a MAC computer. If you have a free Apple developer account, you will only be able to test on your own devices and you need a MAC computer and connect the USB cable to your device to install KClient through Xcode. If you have a paid developer account, then the MAC computer can be a virtual MAC, there are several online services, like that can be used to perform the necessary tasks, and are available at very low prices, since all it is needed is a basic MAC with Xcode installed. Once everything is setup, the MAC will be used mainly to execute compilation scripts that normally should take only a few minutes.

All the development is still made in Kalipso Designer in Windows, the MAC is only required to compile the final application and to install KClient on an iOS device so you can test your Apps prior to deploying.

Apple ID
