I have created my app. It is running well in windows and now I would like to explore putting it to the test on my iphone
When I go into standalone application settings the IOS option will not allow me to check the build for box. And in a related question
once it is saved how do I get the application onto my iphone.

Apologies for dumbing this down, but I don't know you, so I'm going to try to keep it basic
1) If you don't have a Mac, you can't compile ios apps
2) If you have a Mac, you have to have XCode installed
3) If you have xcode installed, then in the LiveCode prefs (hit command-comma), go to "Mobile Support", and then in the top section hit the "Add Entry" button
4) The dialog that comes up is intended for you to point to the version of XCode that you are using for the relevant libraries. Navigate to the Application folder, then choose the XCode you are using (or, if you only have one version installed, just pick XCode).
5) You should see a green light on the panel if you have chosen wisely.
6) Go back to standalone settings and check "ios", then start fiddling with the other settings.
For more info., see the Mobile Guide, or whatever it's called (I don't remember the name). There is a lot of good info. in there that you might not find anywhere else.

Also you can't build for desktop and mobile at the same time. Uncheck the desktop platforms. You do need to meet all the requirements Mikey listed too.
