It is difficult to judge the performance on iOS because VSync seems to be forced on, so frame rate is limited to 60 FPS. However, relatively complex scenes don't seem to suffer from any performance issues even on older iPod Touch. I would say that iOS devices are quite capable of some even more advanced tasks. However, the power consumption and battery drain are more important issues to consider, which we haven't checked well yet.Originally Posted by czar
It takes significantly more time to develop a project for iOS, however, because a single compilation in FPC takes several minutes and before that you need to move the project from Windows to Mac; instead you could work in XCode, but it's code editor is too crippled. For our incoming online game we are trying to provide iOS client, although it is going slowly.
Hopefully EMB will implement as simpler compile system for iOS similar to compiling for MacOS. I am avoiding iOS at the momemnt as I am trying to get a MacOS project finished. I am finding that at the moment I am stumbling from one problem to the next. Issues as simple as copying a file from a to b need to be researched and checked and that all takes way more time than I had anticipated.

I agree. I think iOS itself is a great platform, I really like its architecture. However, being tied up to an older XCode version with a long and complicated compilation process makes the development somewhat difficult.
