Setting up IOS SDK on livecode

I am a new user to Livecode and development. I have successfully set up Livecode 6.7 community edition as well as the Android simulator SDK's etc. I have just started the basic training test and decided I wanted to also see the apps in an IOS simulator. I have downloaded the suggested Xcode SDK versions to my windows 7 desktop. But when I go into the - "preferences-mobile support"- the dialog box to set the path for the IOS SDK's is grayed out. I have looked all over the support forum as I am sure I am missing something to enable me to simulate this on IOS.
Thank you for your help
Dan

Hi Dan,
iOS deployment is only possible via a Mac Based system. This is Apple restriction more than anything due to Xcode only being available on the Mac platform.
A method to build for iOS, without having to purchase a mac, would be to use a service such as macincloud
http://www.macincloud.com/ which allows you to rent a mac, online, for a specified amount of time.
Another possible method is to create a MacOSX virtual machine for testing purposes.
Kind Regards,
Neil Roger
