Theoretically it would be possible develop your app in Xcode and only ever compile it for ARM and test on the actual device.
But if you use the iOS simulator to develop/test your app (which I imagine every developer does), then you're running your iOS app natively on OS X, linked against a version of all the iOS libraries compiled for x86.
