+# Requirements
+
+*  Scons (you can get it from macports, you should be able to run "scons" on a terminal when installed)
+*  Xcode with the iOS SDK and the command line tools.
+
+# Compiling
+
+Open a Terminal, go to the root dir of the engine source code and type:
+```
+$ scons bin/godot.iphone
+```
+for a debug build, or:
+```
+$ scons bin/godot_opt.iphone target=release
+```
+for a release build (check platform/iphone/detect.py for the compiler flags used for each configuration)
+
+Alternatively, you can run
+
+```
+$ scons bin/godot.isim
+```
+for a Simulator executable.
+
+# Run
+
+To run on a device or simulator, follow these instructions: [Exporting for iOS](https://github.com/okamstudio/godot/wiki/export_ios)  
+Replace or add your executable to the Xcode project, and change the "executable name" property on Info.plist accordingly if you use an alternative build.
