Can I use Lazarus Pascal to build for iOS AND Android
Solution 1
- Android: See answer from Nic Strong.
- iOS (iPhone/iPad): Check google and find this result.
Solution 2
I am almost certain the answer is no.
EDIT: Looks like I was wrong. See http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Android_Programming
Solution 3
The answer is yes. For Ios Lazurs uses objectivepascal which a pascal extension that allows integration with objective-c much like objective-c++. However it is necessary to do some work to set-up the environment and you need an Apple computer to build test and debug.
This is the best entry point for iOS development:

I would like to know:
If it's possible to use Lazarus (Pascal) for both Android and iOS development.
If the answer seems positive, do I need a third-party SDK/API or package to do this?
Thanks!

itsols over 11 yearsThanks for the tip. And do you think it can be used for the iOS?

itsols over 11 yearsSo, after looking at the links from you and Nic, it seems like a YES with a NO :) i.e., to say, yes, we can use Lazarus/FP but no, there are issues. Thanks!

itsols about 9 yearsHave you done this on a regular basis or at least to build a real-world app? A lot of folks who say "yes you can" also say "but there's some work to do to get it going" but they've never really tried this for real.

itsols about 9 yearsWe had a discussion on linked in about this and there was a ready solution for IOS. But now it seems to be missing. Here's the linked in discussion: linkedin.com/groups/iOS-development-Lazarus-4558772.S.273351327
