Total noob question

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I was curious if I could start the building process of an iOS app with my bt control panel on a windows computer? I have access to an apple computer, however my daily computer is a pc and most of my work is done on that.

That's what I thought. I just didn't know if you could work on it before getting the source code and putting it into Xcode with a Mac

You can definitely start the process, in the sense that you can do work on the buzztouch control panel from anywhere, since it is all web-based. You could even do it from your phone! :)

Thats correct, you only need a mac when you want to download and run the app you created on buzztouch. Cheers. Miguel
