Porting AIR app to iOS: do I need an iPad to debug the app?

I开发者_运维百科'm porting my AIR app to iOS. There're numerous articles/tutorials on how to pack an AIR app. Still I can't catch do I need an iPad to debug my app?

You will need an iPad to be able to debug on-device.

However, you should be able to debug your app via the ADL iOS emulator as well.
I must say that care should be taken with this debugging method though.

The iOS emulator does not work very well since there are some features that work on the emulator but not on-device. There is already a feature request in the Adobe jira for this.

Cheers
