I need to create a delphi app to install and run into a Tablet with Windows 10 - home edition.
If I use Delphi XE8/Win 8.1 and create a Metropolis or VCL app, could I be able to install it into that Tablet and run without problem?
If is not possible, what type of app could I create with Delphi XE8/Win 8.1 to run into a windows 10 tablet - home edition?
For now I didn´t buy the tablet because I don´t know if the app will work.

At this time, Delphi cannot produce true Universal (formerly known as Metro) apps. It can only produce native Win32 apps that look and feel like Universal apps (and can access a few select WinRT APIs that have been made accessible to Win32), but they are not true Universal apps from Windows' perspective.
So, Delphi cannot be used to develop apps that can be deployed through the Windows App store (at least until Microsoft releases its "Project Centennial" bridge, which is essentially just a Universal wrapper for Win32 apps).
That being said, the Windows 10 Mobile OS (for phones and small tablets) cannot (yet) run native Win32 apps, only Universal apps. On tablets with a screen size of 8" or larger, tablet manufacturers may decide to install the full Windows 10 desktop OS instead, in which case native Win32 apps can be run.
You can create an application with delphi (VCL or FMX) that run without problems in a Windows 10. In a desktop computer, in a portatil or a Tablet.
The problem not is the device, is the operating system installed.
You can't develop for Windows 10 Movile, but without problem for Windows 10 Home Edition.
I have developed for a Tablet with Windows 10 with Delphi 7 (and DevExpress for Metro interface). Of course you can do it with Delphi XE8.

I would like automate IOS Mobile Application(in iPhone 6s - IOS Version-10.2.1) using windows 7 Laptop.
Is it possible to automate from windows Laptop.
I installed and configured Android-SDK, Java Client , Appium and PDAnet in windows machine.So now i am able to automate App from real Andriod device in Windows machine.
Now I have to automate that App from iPhone 6S Device from Windows Machine. Is it Possible or MAC is mandatory?? Please help me from this situation.
There are applications which allow you to automate iOS applications from a Windows 7 PC. They're mostly from commercial vendors - such as http://quamotion.mobi or http://experitest.com.

I know Delphi 10 Seattle is currently able to make apps for Windows 10, Android, iOS, OS X and Web. Well does Windows 10 mean that I can also make apps for Windows 10 Mobile and/or Windows Universal Apps?
No. Delphi does not support any kind of Windows Mobile or Windows Universal development at this time. Microsoft is still researching the possibility of supporting classic Win32 apps in Windows Mobile environments.
I'm using Delphi XE7 for developing mobile application. And some how, I have learnt how to create and test the Android mobile application using Delphi XE7 and for developing and testing Android application, just one Android mobile is enough. And I need to know the hardware requirements for developing and testing iOs mobile applications. And currently I'm having Windows 64 bit Os. Is it possible to develop and test, if I'm having Mac Os which is Virtual Os and iPhone device in my hand. And in the Virtual OS, I need to install Xcode and the required packages. Please confirm me once should I need compulsory MAC book for developing iOs mobile application using Delphi XE7.?
Please provide me the solution.
In addition to your development PC, you need the following to develop multi-device applications for iOS:
A Mac running OS X
An iOS device, connected to your Mac by USB cable

The Mac OS X is bound to the Apple hardware. The only way to make OS X run in a virtual machine is to hack it. There are several solutions available e.g. here and here.
I am however sure that you will end up being frustrated about spending too much time on tweaking Delphi and the hacked OS X - even with Apple hardware there can be plenty of frustrations! For example there are updates to Xcode all the time and some of them breaks things. If you also have to tweak OS X every time you need to update, you would wish you bought the hardware.
I can recommend buying a Mac Mini ($499), it is the cheapest way to get a Mac. To minimize cost, you can simply connect it to the same monitor as your windows computer and just switch input on the monitor when you are working on the Mac. I have done that and it works very well.
When I create FireMonkey application, I can't compile it for Windows Phone... why is that? I read that it should support it? How do I compile Windows Phone application?
Delphi does not support Windows Phone. The only mobile platforms supported are iOS and Android on ARM.
I have downloaded the Citrix Receiver from the AppStore on my iPad and i have enjoyed the DemoCloud, so i want to use it but just for homeuse and using my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 operating system.
Any help is welcome !

Citrix XenApp is neither intended nor suitable for home use. It requires a Windows Server OS and will not run on Windows 7.
I agree that it is a cool way to get a Windows desktop to an iPad, but XenApp does not bring your Windows 7 desktop to the iPad but a standardized enterprise desktop.
I recommend you take a look at remoting products for PCs like Remote PC.
