Developing for the iPhone?

Is there an IDE for developing applications to run on an iPhone? When they came out I remember Apple saying "you Will be able to write programs, but not yet"
Also, does anyone know if you can control a peripheral with the usb cable that comes out of the dock?
thanks.

Apple is planning on releasing an SDK for the iPhone in February. Until then, you can only write web apps for the iPhone.
Also, does anyone know if you can control a peripheral with the usb cable that comes out of the dock?
I expect you'll need to wait until the SDK is out to find that out. It will probably depend on whether or not the necessary code to control the USB port exists in the iPhone's OS, and whether or not Apple considers it a security risk to allow access to it.

  • I want to develop for the iphone

    i wanna take the plunge. i wanna join the bandwagon. i dont want to be left out. i want to start developing for the iphone. if i am not wrong i have to know obective c for it right? i already know c, c++ and java. where can i learn objective c for iphone and mac and how should i go about this whole adventure?

    In addition to exploring the iPhone Dev Center, get +Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK+ by Mark and LaMarche. I spent several months trying to learn the SDK from the online docs and the sample code. Then I got Hillegass, which is one of the best ways to learn Cocoa, but didn't cover the iPhone. Some of the really important controls and controller structures were still a dark mystery. Then Mark and LaMarche came out last November and I couldn't help thinking, "If I had only had this to start with! Just get it. By the time you get to Chapter 9, I expect to see you answering a good number of the questions in this forum.

  • Error while downgrading from ios6(beta4) to ios5.0.1.. i am getting error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone" any idea???

    Hi,
        I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
    but all the time i am getting the following error.
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
    pls help me to downgrade my device.
    I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
    Regards
    Ram

    You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
    You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?

  • What is the SDK kit for the Iphone??? what does it do?/

    Im kind of confused on what the sdk kit is! So what is it. My main question is when it becomes available will it possibly have a video rec. for the iphone??? Thank you

    its a kit created by apple so that 3rd party applications can be created for the iphone. it will allow developers to create new programs for the iphone, of corse they will have to play by apples rules by developing their software with apples kit. once again, stop trying to regulate my iphone apple! its my phone!!! now that thats out there, do we have a specific date yet on the sdk kit? i believe they said february.

    Only developer's have access to iOS 6 now. Thus, if you are a developer you have have access to the developer's forum for iOS 6.
    Otherwise you have a bootleg copy and are on yur own./

  • Will games for the iPhone ever be able to play on the iTouch?

    I have some games I bought for my old iPod which don't work on my iTouch, but will the new iPhone games ever work on the Touch?

    Your old iPod games will not work on the iPod Touch (unless they are ported over by the developer). However, new games for the iPhone/iPod Touch will be available through the App Store, starting next month. You'll need to buy the $10 v2.0 Upgrade for your IPT to access the App Store, and then you can download the games (some will likely be free, some paid, some with a free 'light' version and a paid 'full' version).
    Hope this helps...

  • New Software Idea for the iPhone

    I have a good software idea for the iphone but I am not a programmer. I checked on the site and it doesn't exist yet. What's next? Who can help to get this project off the ground?

  • Why did Apple choose 1334x750 for the iPhone 6?

    I'm not just an iOS user, I'm also a developer who's thinking about developing for iOS, and I'm wondering what the benefits/detriments of Apple choosing 1334x750 as the resolution for the iPhone 6. It's such a bizarre resolution; I've never seen it anywhere. It seems to make more sense to use 1280x720, which is normal HD.
    Question from a user's perspective: Does this make application content fuzzy, scale wrong, misalign, or anything else like that?
    Question from a developer's perspective: Is it difficult programming for this resolution, or does Apple naturally scale/interpolate graphics regardless of the app's output resolution(s)?

    Anyone here who actually knows is either an Apple employee, or has signed an NDA. Anyone other than these types of people would be guessing.
    Apple employees who visit the forum are not permitted to identify themselves as such, and are just users (except for Community Specialists, but they are a separate subject that doesn't affect this thread).
    If I were to guess I'd say the pixel pitch is fixed for the Retina display material, and that's the number of pixels that fit at that pitch in a screen the size of the iPhone 6. Doing the math compared to an iPhone 5 series it makes logical sense. Did you notice that the 6 Plus is 1920 x 1080 and has a different pitch from all of the other Retina display iPhones?
    To answer the other question you asked, I have never noticed fuzziness or aliasing on any iPhone display.

  • Making a game for the iPhone and iPod touch!!!

    Hi, I'm not really sure if this is where this thread belongs, but I couldn't find a better fit category, sorry!
    Anyway.
    I'm a complete NOOB at making games. I'm a complete NOOB at flash animations and coding a game with the iPhone SDK. In fact, I have NEVER coded ANY game in my LIFE before, nor touched flash development programs, with the only exception being a month or two using Game Maker 2.0 which involved about 3 lines of code per game .
    I want to develop a quality game for the App store and sell it. My basic idea is using flash to animate some people and having a sniper-type layout where you have to shoot things. (Sorry if I'm being vague, I dont want anyone to take my idea. There's more to it, including one really "clever" aspect of the game (in my mind) which is why I think I can get it to sell.) If its a really great quality game, how long do you estimate it will take me, start to finish, including learning to code with the SDK, to finish this project? 3 weeks? 2 months?
    Thanks!

    Hello, 
    You can't use Flash as that's not available for the iPhone/iPod touch.
    You can find out about developing for the platform here:

  • I have a iphone 3gs I am thinking about purchasing a ipad2 do I have to repurchase apps I have for the iphone for the ipad?

    I have a iphone 3gs. I am considering buying a ipad2, do I have to repurchase apps for the ipad that I purchased for the iphone?

    No, unless there's an iPad version of your App that the developer wants to sell separately.

  • What kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6?

    I want to get a case before we upgrade to the iPhone 6.  Some of the cases we are looking at (Speck Mightyshell) do not come with screen protectors.  I was wondering what kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6 and if a screen protector is even necessary?

    The iPhone 6 currently uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass. There was some speculation that they would start using Sapphire glass but I guess they’re not ready yet. I have had my iPad 2 for years now and the glass is still perfectly fine. My new iPhone 6 uses a more developed version of the same glass. Will the glass break? Yes. Will the glass scratch? Yes, if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your car keys, the screen will scratch. It’s not impervious, just highly resistant.
    I do have a real life controlled experiment going on in the family. My wife and one son have their iPhone 6s in a case WITH a screen protector. Myself and my other son carry our iPhone 6s around without ANY protection whatsoever, no case and no screen protector. So far they all still look perfectly fine. We’ll se how this experiment turns out.

  • Hi Apple friends, my question is regarding, the last iOS 6.1 upgrade, why it include the LTE 4G to the iPad4 and iPad Mini with Telcel in Mexcio, and Why it was not for the iPhone 5?, when Apple will enable this feature LTE 4G on the Iphone5 to Telcel?

    Hi Apple friends, my question is regarding, the last iOS 6.1 upgrade, why it include the LTE 4G to the iPad4 and iPad Mini with Telcel in Mexcio, and Why it was not for the iPhone 5?, when Apple will enable this feature LTE 4G on the Iphone5 to Telcel?

    And Apple won't tell you. All they will tell you is what countries are supported for LTE right now. You can express your interest to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    but you will not receive a reply. It may be waiting on Telcel to approve. They may not feel that their LTE network is robust enough to handle that much load yet. But I'm just guessing. We'll just have to wait and see what develops.

  • Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone

    Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone. The one intalled is hopelessly inadequate and inefficient. 2 Main problems- The current iCal + Contacts programs do not link to each other. And there is no To Do List!
    Palm and MS Outlook had those features 6 years ago! Whats up with Apple?!!

    ical does have a to do list in it. either click the little pin under the calendar, or click show to do list in the view menu.
    i don't know much purpose behind needing to link ical and address book (not that i'm saying it isn't important at all - you obviously have some type of need for it). but it's got to be possible somehow, because you can set ical to make a calendar of birthdays from your address book contacts (in the main preference pane for the application).
    plus, i doubt there'd be another mac calendar application you'd be able to sync with your iphone, unless whoever developed it developed an iphone app to sync it with. probably wouldn't sync with your contacts/calendar apps that come with the iphone.

  • Can i use my husbands upgrade for the iphone 6 promotion

    My line is technically not eligible for upgrade, but my husbands line is (we are on a family plan with my mom). Last time I upgraded, they let me use my husbands upgrade since his was available. Can I do this for the iphone 6 promotion or will they not allow it?

    Can I transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another?
    If you have multiple devices on your account and one is eligible for an upgrade, you can transfer upgrade eligibility to another line on your account whenupgrading your device in My Verizon. When you transfer eligibility from one line to another, the original line is no longer eligible for the upgrade discount.
    To transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another line on your account:Go to the Upgrade Device page in My Verizon.
    Click Transfer Upgrade.
    Note: If the Transfer Upgrade link isn’t appearing, you may not be eligible to transfer an upgrade at this time
    Select the mobile number you want to upgrade. This will transfer upgrade eligibility to that line.
    Select the device you want to upgrade to and click Next.
    Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the remaining steps to upgrade your device.
    You’ve successfully transferred your upgrade eligibility to another line.
