If you want to try each and every scripting library to see if it works, **write some test code** and test them. Expecting us to do so for you isn't quite how SO works. – Ken White Oct 03 '13 at 01:47

@KenWhite Well, I am not expecting to anyone testing for me, but since there is so many people around here that know things that could give a direction. My intention is to give the best try and actually post the results, since I am getting benefits from SO. AND I went to dwscript site and they explicit states to post here any question, so I believed one of the developers will take a look. – Eduardo Elias Oct 04 '13 at 14:33

No, Android and iOS compilers are not supported.
There are a few issues that prevent that at the moment
- I don't have access to those compilers
- There were some dropped Delphi features (like UTF8String) and there are some architectural changes (like ARC) which could make the adaptation non-trivial
- AFAIK the Apple licensing terms forbid use of 3rd party script engines in iOS, you're supposed to use the JavaScript one they provide, and only it.

I did not know about the script limitation in iOS. So Mono apps (Xamarin) are not identified as script engines in iOS? – Arnaud Bouchez Jul 26 '14 at 15:51
