Corona SDK on Windows build like Marmalade

I'm working and comparing iOS and Android tools for Corporate Application development.
I found good ones that provides development environments in Windows and Mac like: Corona, Marmalade and DrgonfireSDK.
Corona appears to be most productive but Lacks the capability to complie/build iOS application on Windows devices like Marmalade does and have.
Considering it's feasible and Marmalade can compile and build iOS applictions on Windows with Visual Studio and GCC cross compilation o iOS and Android, I'd like to know:
. Ansca Mobile / Mr. Carlos are looking to offer this capability in his productive Ansca Mobile tool ?
. Does this nice feature could be include the plans, clonning Marmalade capability ?

As a user of Apple devices and a long standing user of CoronaSDK, I can tell you that I understand where you are coming from when you say can we compile on windows for a Mac.

It is more to do with Apple about compilation than Ansca, look at Microsoft, they have closed development for Windows Phone 7 using any other platform, if you do not use Expression and VS, you cannot develop for WP7, in fact you have to use OpenGl and DirectX only.

Some other frameworks take the onus of compiling and distribution on themselves and allow you to compile from any device, here Ansca promotes an open and transparent system where the developer is responsible for their apps, not Ansca. The proceeds go to the developer directly.

There might be very small advantage to compile for iOS on windows. KeyChains are not available, there are so many things to consider.

However, if Ansca bring iOS compilation using other platforms, there is nothing like it.

cheers,
