Cross Platform App Development with Corona

Question

I am wanting to build a cross-platform mobile app for iOS and android devices. I have never tried making a mobile app before and was thinking of using Corona SDK. I went to the Corona site to download the SDK and I have a few questions. First, it says that "Due to Apple's restrictions, you cannot build for iOS on Windows". Does this mean I can only build an Android app or does it mean I have to publish it to the app store using an Apple computer? Seeing that Corona is cross platform I think it would be stupid if you had to use an Apple computer to get the cross-platform benefit of Corona. Second, do I have to subscribe to Corona to be able to put my app on the app store or can I do this for free with the free version of the Corona SDK. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

See this page about distribution. Yes, you need a mac to use iOS because of Apple's restrictions.
