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 Iphone apps be developed on Windows 7?

I wish to bring some ideas to life by making iphone apps. I have an iphone 4S but only an I3 Windows 7 laptop.
Does apple supports app development on Windows 7. Or is there a way I can use my iphone with Windows 7 laptop to develop apps?

No.

Dumb newbie question on iphone development

Hi there, just a quick dumb question: Can i develop Iphone apps in Windows platform? This is b'coz I dun have Mac machine.

a simple answer is YES in opposite of what you read here.
+I'm a .NET developer and I started building web apps in .NET (ASP.NET).+
The iPhone/iPod Touch supports 2 different ways to develop something for it, a Web Application (applications that runs on Safari browser, like Facebook and Wordpress) and a SDK Application (Self contain applications, like games, utilities, etc). *Under Windows, you can do any Web Application*, you will need a Mac to do SDK Applications
Reading the Wrox book entitled: Professional iPhone Application Development (ISBN 0470251557) in page 5 the writer tells about 4 levels to do Web Apps:
*Level 1 - Full compatible website/application*
The ground level approach is to develop a Web site/app that is “ iPhone/iPod touch – friendly ” and is fully compatible with the Apple mobile devices. These sites avoid using technologies that the Apple mobile devices do not support, including Flash, Java, and other plug - ins. The basic structure of the presentation layer also maximizes use of blocks and columns to make it easy for users to navigate and zoom within the site. This basic approach does not do anything specific for iPhone/iPod touch users, but makes sure that there are no barriers to a satisfactory browsing experience.
(just like http://del.icio.us/
*Level 2 - Web site/application optimized for Safari*
The second level of support for iPhone and iPod touch is to not only provide a basic level of experience for the Mobile Safari user, but also to provide an optimized user experience for users who use Safari browsers, such as utilizing some of the enhanced WebKit CSS properties supported by Safari.
*Level 3 - Dedicated iPhone/iPod Touch web site/application*
A third level of support is to provide a Web site tailored to the viewport dimensions of the iPhone and iPod touch and provide a strong Web browsing experience for Apple device users. However, while these sites are tailored for iPhone/iPod touch viewing, they do not always seek to emulate Apple UI design. And, in many cases, these are often stripped - down versions of a fuller Web site or
application.
(just like Amazon.com and Facebook)
*Level 4 - Native - looking iPhone/iPod touch application*
The final approach is to provide a Web application that is designed exclusively for iPhone and iPod touch and closely emulates the UI design of native applications. One of the design goals is to minimize user awareness that they are even inside of a browser environment. Moreover, a full - fledged iPhone application will, as is relevant, integrate with iPhone - specific services, including Phone, Mail, and Google Maps.
I did 2 web apps using Dreamweaver for Windows, using Level 4, coding plain HTML - there is no visual aid, but you just pick up an iPhone/iPod Touch (or if you don't have this, use Safari browser or any WebKit Browser).
You can always start here
Remember, if you really want to build a self contain application in Objective-C/Java, then you need a Mac running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), with XCode (the Mac Visual Studio) and the iPhone SDK
Hope that with this you can see some light under Windows

IPhone Development - Switching Views

First, let me mention that this post may be in the wrong forum, so if that is the case, please let me know to repost.
Next, my question is very simple. I have two views. The first has a button. The second has some text. I want to switch from the first, which loads when the app starts, to the second. This should be pathetically easy, but I have yet to figure out how it's done. At this point, their must be a fundamental problem with the way that I am thinking about how Windows and Views are managed, because based on my current beliefs, I cannot figure the rest out. I have created several "1-View" applications and, for what I am trying to do, have created several Views each of which do what I want them to do. But, I cannot find a way to switch from one to the other. I go to several homemade videos of people doing it, but no two people do it the same way and they all have their own little tricks to getting it done. This leads me to believe that it's not simply a matter of a lack of documentation by Apple, but that Apple doesn't even have a standard. Instead the have several hacked-together solutions that each can kind-of work depending on the situation.
Here is the way I am conceptualizing it and maybe someone can show me the error in my thinking. I create a View-based application for the iPhone. I believe that the AppDelegate class that is created for me appears to really just be a Window/View manager class in that it keeps track of the one and only Window and manages which View is currently being displayed in that Window. Then, there is the MainWindow.xib file which is really confusing, because it simply populates itself with whatever is in the ViewController.xib file. It's never even mentioned in any of the code I am given. I imagine it is mentioned elsewhere, but that is irrelevant.
Now, the ViewController.xib file is used along with Interface Builder to create a View from Widgets and link those Widgets' references and corresponding actions to class variables and methods in its corresponding ViewController.h and ViewController.m files. So, it would follow then, that if I wanted to create a second View, so that when a button on the first view was clicked a new, second View would be shown, I would create a new "View.xib" file and corresponding .h and .m files for it. Then, I have a method in my AppDelegate that takes a UIView object and removes whatever view is currently the subview of the window and adds the parameterized view as the new subview. This is also where I would put my transitions.
Now, the new View that I just created doesn't contain the Title Bar or whatever it's called where the battery monitor icon, carrier icon, etc. exist, so this means that whenever I am actually putting Widgets in the View I have to just remember to avoid it and that the "auto-alignment" thing is off. So, I try other options, and create a new "Window XIB". This blows my freakin' mind, because it appears to be what I want despite it being called a Window and not a View. So, I try the "Write Class File", and it creates a new class called UIWindow which is a subclass of UIView. But wait, aren't Views supposed to be what populates the Windows, and UIWindow is a class that already exists. AHHH!!!!
So, I rename the class to SecondView and create an instance of it in the AppDelegate. Now, I go into the AppDelegate.m file and change "window addSubview:viewController.view" to "window addSubview:secondView.view" (Edit: Brackets aren't allowed, so I am using quotes in their place here.) which doesn't compile, because it is a subtype of UIView which doesn't have a view member variable, only UIViewController does. So, I change it to make it a subclass of UIViewController which has a view member variable, and it compiles and shows a blank white screen of which neither of my views look like. Then, I go shoot myself in the face. It would appear that I need to link the new SecondView class to the SecondView.xib file somehow.
It appears that the AppDelegate class should manage nothing and should only have a single UIWindow object that it loads. Then, the View Controller which has a View object should really have an array of all Views and should populate its view object with the currently needed View. This would make sense except that of all the How-tos I have seen none of them do it this way. I am sure that I didn't say everything that I need to say, but at this point I am so infuriated that I cannot think straight.
<rant>
I have developed in several different environments, and I have never come across such a simple and common concept implemented in such a convoluted way. Maybe I am simply missing something obvious, here, but if that's the case, Apple please please please make the documentation far less cryptic. I feel like I'm walking blindly through a jungle when I try to read the How-to documentation on your site. If I need to know some information about some class then it is relatively easy to get to, but trying to figure out how to actually do something within iPhone development is painful.
I began trying to develop for the iPhone by just diving in and seeing what happened. That sort of failed, so I began reading your online help documentation and believe I took a step backwards. Finally, I bought a book on Objective-C that concluded with creating an iPhone app. I read it in a few days and now feel that I am rather proficient with the language as well as creating applications on the iPhone as long as they only consist of a single View in the ViewController class. All I want to do is switch from one View to another, and it shouldn't be this hard.

Well odds are you won't find what you are looking for here unless another developer happens to come here. These forums all withing the support area are user to user forums to help with issues of usage, repairs, etc.
Doesn't the developer area where you signed up to be a developer have forums?

Iphone development on PPC

Hi - I have a Powerbook G4 that I want to try and do some iPhone development on. Is there a definitive guide for installing on this hardware? I haven't found anything yet that applies to the non-beta builds of XCode. I tried following this guide but it didn't work for me:
http://www.tbradford.org/2008/03/iphone-sdk-beta-2-possible-ppc-fix.html
Since they weren't installed automatically, I installed all the iPhone packages separately and made the change to the xcspec file, but when I attempt to build I still get an error stating that i386 is the only valid architecture to build on. Is there something else I need to do? I'm an experienced developer but very new to the Mac platform, so please keep that in mind for any response you might have. Thanks.
Oh, and if topic is taboo I apologize in advance.

Hi All!
I want to develop some iPhone applications for my company to show them finally how good the iPhone is in compare to develop some applications for Windows Mobile.
Thing is.. i've got an iBook G4.
Even that I want a MacBook, I can't afford me a new one (or used) in the next year.
I already run the newest xcode and iphone simulator and followed the steps described in http://3by9.com/85/ and http://www.tbradford.org/2008/03/iphone-sdk-beta-2-possible-ppc-fix.html.
When I go "Build and Go" xcode compiles without any error, iphone Simulator starts, but then i got a message.. can't install (or start) application to iphone simulator.
iPhone simulator shows no content too! When i reset the iphone simulator by menu, the home screen appears.
Has anyone an idea?
Do I have to downgrade to a beta version of iPhone SDK?
Thanks,
Kind regards,
Harry

Cs5 iphone development viability

This question is not intended to start any derogatory attack on any particular solution. I have done plenty of googling to try and find the best solution for this. However I wanted to start iPhone development and was looking for some good opinions on the best way to go with this. I know to give the most precise answer the specific type of development is needed, I am just trying to get a more general answer for a basic business or game development, nothing super high end either side, but any opinions are welcome.
Hopefully obviously I would like to use cs5 on windows to do this, however I really wanted some opinions with people with experience to know if I really need to bite the bullet and go an os-x/xcode approach or other option, if CS5 is a solid approach. Further, and I can’t seem to find a solid declaration of Adobe’s direction with the CS5 packager.

I was on the same path that you just went through (and are going through now). There are a number of routes you can follow (as far as I know)
-HTML 5/Javascript/Ajax integration (for example, sencha)
-.Net style (example, monoTouch)
-Adobe CS5 (Flash iPhone Packager)
-Airplay and the ilk (coding on windows)
-and of course, xCode.
I think all the others except Adobe CS5 is quite ahead of the game in terms of featuresets and performance.
Unfortunately of course the decision would be to abandon the actionscript coding language (which I like...a lot).
anyway, my two cents worth as a developer.

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007?

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
I have only tried one pdf file which downloaded wonderfully to the iPhone. I synced to the PC without the PC being connected to the email account. This also worked except that when I tried to open the attachment on the PC I got a message that the mail wasn't fully downloaded. When I went on=line on the PC, it downloaded the attachment. I would love to have this option because I can't access some email accounts from my corporate computer.

No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.

Why are you not developing for windows phone 8.1 yet?

I've heard a lot of good things about Microsoft opening up their platforms for developers. I literally used Firefox, Firefox sync, and enjoy Firefox as my default browser. I've seen a few posts saying Mozilla isn't currently developing for Windows Phone and I'm just wondering why. I know there is a demand for it. It would dominate the Windows Phone market for sure. I'd really like to see it come to the platform so can someone explain why specifically it isn't? What restrictions are still being faced if any?

hello, originally there have been technical and legal hurdles in the app store which discouraged mozilla from starting any developments in this direction. i don't know about the current situation, but since mozilla is now focusing its energies on creating firefox os as open source web-based platform, i doubt that you will see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...

How can I copy an email attachment from my iphone to my windows pc without using itunes

Is there a way to transfer or copy a .zip file attachment in my mail on my iphone to my windows 7 PC without using iTunes?

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

IPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 Bit

Hi there,
i got a Problem with my iphone 4 and my os windows 7 porfessional 64 bit.
Last week my pc crashed and after 12 hours to find the problem (it was the memory... bloody things) i have allready deleted everything and partitioned the hd new.
So after rescuring my pc and installing everything i downloaded the newest version of itunes64 and installed it and tried to connect my iphone. the first thing i mentioned when i plug in my iphone was that windows can´t find drivers but my iphone was found in itunes. i can´t sync music or manual put it on the iphone but i could sync my apps
in the device manager the iphone is mentioned as iphone but under "other devices" and i can´t get it in the explorer. so i can´t get the pictures from my iphone
So after a few hours and tring asking the crystalball called google
( allready tried extracting the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi out of itunes64 installer and tried to direkt the driver to that folder but windows can´t find any driver in there)
i´m running out of options. So the last thing i will try is this community.

Okay, I'll tackle the drivers issue first. If it doesn't want to load the drivers, you will need to uninstall iTunes completely and then reinstall it. You need to follow the instructions in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
After reinstalling it, start iTunes and then reconnect the iPhone. It should install the drivers from there.
As far as pictures, the only photos that will show up in Explorer are ones in the camera roll. If you are talking about wanting to get the photos that you had originally synced from the computer to the iPhone, you will have to look into 3rd party software to get that. Touchcopy works on the Windows systems.
Another question. When you look in Device Manager, do you see any errors, red x's or the yellow exclamation points?

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

On the moment that I connect the Iphone 5 on Windows 8, it is not recognized by Itunes, but actually it appears as a usual USB cable, or as a camera. And then I can't synchronize the Iphone 5 with Itunes. So, what do i do?

Hi pedro109,
If your iPhone is recognized by the computer, but not seen by iTunes, you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, as described in this article -
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Once iTunes recognizes the iPhone you should be able to sync it with iTunes. See this article
iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12317
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
