The big benefit of using Cinder is the resulting multiplatform code. In most cases, your application can be compiled on Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS without significant modifications.
If you want to run your applications on iOS devices, you will need to register as an Apple Developer and purchase the iOS Developer Program.
After registering yourself as an Apple Developer or purchasing the iOS Developer Program, you can create an initial XCode project for iOS using Tinderbox.
- After running Tinderbox you have to set Target to Cocoa Touch.
- It will generate a project structure for you, supporting iOS events that are specific for multitouch screens.
We can use events for multiple touches and for easy access to accelerometer data. The main difference between touch and mouse events is that there can be more than one active touch points while there is only one mouse cursor. Because of that, each touch session has an ID that can be read from

I recommend you take a look at the sample projects included in the Cinder package: MultiTouchBasic and iPhoneAccelerometer.
