  • Developing iPhone apps using SDK - what hardware to use?

    I am planning on developing iPhone apps but am new to the Mac. I have 20 years of development experience but all on PC and web/java side.
    I was planning on buying a MacBook 13" with 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 Gig of RAM. In your experience is this enough power to develop apps using the SDK.
    What hardware configs do you any of you developers use to run the iPhone SDK?
    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iPhone software development kit simply requires an intel processor-based Macintosh, running the current release of Mac OS X 10.5. Your questions can be answered by browsing the iPhone developer site, starting here.

    PogoPossum,
    My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
    Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
    What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
    I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
    Does this help?

  • Process in developing iPhone apps

    Hi,
    I have a little programming experience with PHP, ActionScript 3.0, JavaScript and I was wondering how hard would it be to learn Obejective C, I believe this is the language to use to developing apps for the iPhone if I’m not mistaking.
    1- Can someone help me understand the process in developing iPhone apps?
    2- Is Objective C the programming language used by Apple to develop iPhone and MacOsX apps?
    3- What’s Xcode? Is it a different language?
    4- What’s COCOA?
    5- Is it the same process for develop iPhone apps as for MacOsX apps?
    6- Where can I start learning more?
    Sorry! I’m a complete newbie.
    Thanks,

  • I want to develop iphone apps. But I am from Costa Rica, I have seen that there are developers who sell from my country here. I wonder what method of payment used for developer profits, for example Paypal?

    I want to develop iphone apps. But I am from Costa Rica, I have seen that there are developers who sell from my country here. I wonder what method of payment used for developer profits, for example Paypal?
    If so could make money there, and a local bank, has service PayPal.

    Apple does not pay developers via PayPal. All payments are made directly to your bank via electronic funds transfer.

  • Developing Iphone App using Flash Builder and Flex Air Mobile

    I started developing an Iphone app using the trial version of Flash Builder and was pretty impressed with how easy it was, then i hit problems:
    Trying to submit my app, I was getting invalid binary, using google i tracked this down to a change in the Apple App Store meaning that all apps needed to have native iphone 5 support, which meant updating to Air SDK 3.7
    Updating to AIR SDK 3.7 was a nightmare (mainly as a result of my failure to read the small print)
    Once I got SDK 3.7 to  work with flash builder / flex mobile i though i was there.
    However now i can produce a fast build but everytime i try and produce a standard / production build i get strange errors (air 3.8 does the same).
    My Question is - before i actually buy Flash Builder has anybody actually achieved the following:
         Building an Iphone App using:
         Flash Builder 4.7    (running on OSX)
         Flex Mobile 4.6
         Air 3.7
    If so how ?
    cheers
    Toby

    Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
    the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
    The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
    the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
    Error occurred while packaging the application:
    Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
      "__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
          __ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
          __ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
    I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.
    cheers

  • Develop iPhone App on Windows?

    Hello, people.
    I'm new to iPhone development (though I'm not to programming) and I have a kind of a silly question.
    Is it possible to develop an app and submit it to the App Store WITHOUT a Mac box?
    I currently have an Ubuntu (8.10) box and a Windows VM (plus an iPhone).
    I'd like to play around with iPhone dev, but I've only seen ppl talking about developing on a Mac or else NOT distributing the app through the App Store (which is not really an option).
    Thanks in advance.

    I had this idea for a while, and even thought of all those VMWare solutions.
    But finally decided to get a MBP and.. as you can guess, i am more than glad!!
    My feeling is "It was really an unfair world, only Mac users having all the fun using the BEST Operating System EVER " But i joined the club.. So should you!!
    btw, I also cant live without Visual Studio, So i installed Bootcamp..
    Windows should be like that. Just another "application" on your Mac..

  • Can't remove deleted iPhone apps from Mac

    I haven't been able to find the specific answer to this one.
    After removing an app from my iPhone 4S, I also try to remove it from iTunes on my Macbook Pro (Mavericks 10.9).
    For example, if trying to remove my "CBS" app (see image below)
    Steps to reproduce: Connect phone to Mac > Open iTunes on Mac > iPhone > Apps
    I have the option to "Install" it again, but no option remove or uninstall it completely. The "Remove" button only seems to apply to apps I have kept on my iPhone and do not want to remove e.g. the Fandango, Flixster, HBO GO apps.
    How can I completely remove/uninstall the CBS app from the list of options? It didn't work well and I no longer intend to use it.
    Thanks

  • IOS SDK version for Xcode 3.0 to develop ipad apps on mac 10.5.8

    Hello,
    I am a newbie when coming to apple products as my name suggests. I have to develop ipad apps. I have done android development in the past. I have a mac running 10.5.8 and i just installed xcode 3.0. My question is inorder for me to develop ipad apps should i upgrade to snow leopard/lion?Also, what is the iOS version that i would be requiring? When i installed xcode 3.0 did it install iOS SDK?Where can i check it? If i can do development on this mac what are my options?
    Thanks in advance.

    Try doing a clean install.
    # Download the Firefox installer from http://www.mozilla.com
    # Trash the current Firefox application
    # Now try installing the new version of Firefox ([[Installing Firefox on Mac]])
    Doing the above will not remove your user data, that is stored elsewhere in the [[profiles|profile folder]], though if you wish you can back that up first

  • Steps to take for developing iPhone app

    I have IMHO a brilliant idea for an iPhone app (I know, I know, and what else is new?:)
    But seriously I want to pursue it. I'm am by no means a programmer of any sort. (However, I'm toying with the idea of studying programming). That said, to get this first baby off the ground I plan to hire a programmer to realize my concept for me. It involves audio, and I will be able to create all the audio content myself(I'm a music/audio professional). I can also create all or most of the necessary graphics/artwork myself (I'm a former graphics pro).
    So, how do I start? What do I need to have in place to talk to a programmer? Should I create a dummy using still graphics and my audio content as a demo? I can even make a video demo of how it would work.
    What are the best resources for finding a competent (and cool) programmer. Just doing a search yields so much information it's overwhelming. I'd rather work with a creative person as one on one as possible, and not ship it off to some impersonal place. What should I expect to pay?
    Lastly, (as a total programmer beginner) is it nuts to think I could learn to program the app myself in a reasonable amount of time given that I have very specific and detailed ideas on how it would work?

    If you honestly have to ask whether or not you could do it yourself then you probably can't. Get an NDA and write up a detailed specification of everything you want the application to do, how you want it to be done, and what it should generally look like. Some general UI mock ups are always a plus. Be prepared to be told that certain things cannot (or should not) be done.
    Don't hire anyone from rentacoder.com. It is a veritable hotbed of international incompetence (and incoherence) and their service agreement's promises of security and arbitration will be broken in the event that a dispute should arise because there is not a single member of Exhedra Solutions' staff who even knows what a Mac looks like let alone how to test a deliverable on one. They will waste months of time promising you services they have no intention of providing and then ultimately tell you to pick a number between 1 and 10 to decide how much money you should be awarded. They're a joke of a company run by an aging frat boy cougar magnet whose experience begins and ends at Visual Basic and they bank on the fact that 99% of their clientele has no working knowledge of US law and can't sue them--especially not when they give the Florida Secretary of State the address of a vacant lot as their official registered agent for service of process.
    Find a real person who lives in your country and speaks your language and contract with them directly. Expect to offer anything in the range of $50-$200/hr depending on the type of work involved and your geographic location. Don't bother with any promises of links on websites, equity shares, profit percentages or portfolio pieces in lieu of payment unless you're talking to some gullible high school kid. These things are all as worthless as they sound.

  • Need an Iphone app which saves my map directions

    Hi guys,
    I need to know a app which can help me save my map direction and routes offline on my iphone 3gs. Help !

    Both Motion GPS Drive and Motion GPS do this. The Drive version lets you simulate the trip then all the maps are cached so you don't need data service to run the trip.
    The Motion GPS app allows you to download maps and store them. All routes and tracks are saved.
    Sounds like the Drive version might be more what you want though.
