When I bought my Ipad, I was surprised by iLuaBox. As a developer, this can give me a lot of interesting possibilities. That is why I bought a license.
For now, I do not have a Mac machine that allows me to develop an application for my Ipad, in a way it can take advance of iLua Scripting Language. Then, I depend on the iLuaBox environment for the creation of applications. I'm not a mobile developer, then my knowledge is restricted in such direction.
Due to my very low knowledge in the Ipad architecture, and in all posibilities with iLua, now I have some questions I hope someone can answer:
Can I use iLuaBox on Ipad to create an application that can run in my Ipad, but outside the iLuaBox Environment as an standalone application?
Is it required for this language to be embedded in an Ipad application in order to run outside the iLuaBox environment using always a host?
Can I create a host app using iLuaBox?
If not possible now, what about the near future?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for purchasing iLuaBox.

Can I use iLuaBox on Ipad to create an application that can run in my Ipad, but outside the iLuaBox Environment as an standalone application?

Not at this time.  Some concepts are being investigated however and one produces output that runs standalone and can be submitted to the App Store for sale.
Of course you can set the iLuaBox Autorun File to your filename for customizing the startup experience.

Is it required for this language to be embedded in an Ipad application in order to run outside the iLuaBox environment using always a host?

Lua is an interpreted language, and as such iLuaBox is required to run your script.  The new GUI Toolkit (In App purchase required) allows the 'environment' to be hidden away while your new views occupy the whole screen.

Can I create a host app using iLuaBox?

I hope the points above explains this.
