You will need to use Mac development tools - Delphi/BCB cannot be used to write Mac applications. You can down download XCode from the Apple developer site (it's a C++ environment) or find some other 3rd party tools.

Lazarus is a RAD IDE similar to Delphi 7. The same code can be compiled with both Lazarus and Delphi, after you addapt it. If your project compiles and runs fine with Lazarus it´s already Mac compatible. You can develop the software on a regular PC, but you will need to go at least once to a Mac computer to compile the final release for Macintosh (and also to test of course). Lazarus / Free Pascal is a open source initiative designed to help Object Pascal developers go where Delphi doesn´t reach. It´s not designed to substitute or compite with it, but rather add to it. It´s also open source and free to download. Free Pascal works on new Macintels and can generate Universal Binaries from a Macintel computer.
