In this chapter, we will look at how to develop mobile apps using Delphi. The recipes in this chapter require a working development configuration of your PC and, in the case of iOS, your Mac, to talk with an Android or iOS device. A detailed tutorial on how to properly configure your system for this purpose can be found on the Embarcadero DocWiki. To develop and deploy an app for iOS, you require an Apple computer and an actual iOS device, while to develop and deploy for Android, you only need to have the device. There is also an emulator in the SDK where you can deploy an app but, currently, it is very slow; if you really want to develop for Android, having an actual device where deploying is faster than using an emulator is recommended.
