Building your first C++Builder multi-device application
This video shows you how to build your first multi-device C++Builder application for Windows (32/64), OSX and iOS. This quick example application uses the TCalendarEdit and TComboBox components and shows how they use the native DatePicker and CustomPicker controls on iOS. The same code and form is used for all 4 platform targets.
You start by creating a FM Mobile application for C++Builder using the "File | New | FireMonkey Mobile Application - C++Builder" menu item.
After testing the app on Windows 32 and iOS (I am running iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S), you then add a FM Desktop application for C++Builder project to your project group. Remove the generated form and unit from your desktop project and add the existing form and unit from your your C++ mobile project. Save both projects and the project group. Activate the desktop project and add Windows 64 and OSX target projects. Compile and test all three targets (Win32, Win64, OSX). That's it. You now have your first one codebase project group that supports Windows, OSX and iOS apps.

Great to hear! It's good to have parity / equality between the Delphi and C++ sides of the product. Being able to advertise C++ across all platforms is going to be good for you too!
I'm quite interested in some technical information about this (eg, to what extent the compiler backends are shared with Delphi on the various platforms, if this uses the new C++ CLANG-based frontend, even for 32-bit, etc.) Could you post something about this sometime please?
