Note that if you want to view your application on a real mobile device (which is the only option for fully testing iPhone or iPad, since there’s no true emulator for Windows) you’ll need to host your application in IIS or IIS Express. You can’t easily use Visual Studio’s built-in web server for this, because it won’t respond to requests from other machines.
