MonoTouch vs Objective-C for iPhone/iPod/iPad development [closed]

For someone with .Net experience and wanting to develop for iPhone/iPod/iPad, is it worth learning Objective-C? Is MonoTouch a good alternative? What are some of the trade-offs when using MonoTouch vs coding in Objective-C?

Most of the information you've suggested there would be found in the source repository.
The only thing you really need is the purpose section, which says what the class is there for.
Would it be tedious to look in repository every time you want to know the other information? I'd say no. How often do you care who the original author was? Or when the file was first created? Plugins (such as Ankh SVN for Visual Studio) often allow you to right
click within your current file and view the repoistory log for the file, so it's not that much of a hassle to actually see this information.
Additionally, if you store the version history in a comment, this comment needs to be maintained. So over time there's a chance it could be lying to you. The source code repository automatically keeps this historical data, so doesn't need that maintenance,
and will be accurate.

  • I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

    I have a desktop pc with itunes. I just purchased a Mac Air book.  Can I sync my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, to both computers. Or do I have to pick one? I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC?  Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

    To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services.  Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services.  You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used).  You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

  • What are the Flash alternatives for iphone and ipad?

    Hello,
    I would like to know what could be the Flash alternatives for iphone, ipod, and ipad. I would like to create iphone applications that have 3D animation I usually create with Flash.
    But since Apple does not support the use of flash, I need to know what applications or programming languages I must use to create movies or animations for iphone or ipad.

    I would like to create iphone applications
    Then you need to go here:

  • Jabber for iPhone and iPad cannot receive calls

    We currently have Call Manager 9.1.1 and Presence 9.1.1.
    I am starting to use the Jabber Client for iPhone and iPad, but am having trouble receiving calls dialed to a particular extension.
    If I can go settings for the iPhone Jabber client as an example, I am succesffuly connected to all accounts: IM, Phone Services, Voicemail, and WebEx.
    When I go to the keypad, I can succesffuly dial internal extensions and make outbound calls to any numbers and they come accross as using my extension.
    When calling the extension, my desk phone rings, but not the Jabber client.
    Not sure what could be causing this issue to occur for Jabber not receiving the calls.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Paul Gaydos 

    Should still work. But would be good to check indial into jabber with the phone unplugged, just for testing purposes.
    also, you have checked the partition and configuration on the TAB device is the same as on the deskphone?
    Can you attach call manager traces when making a test call and attach to the case.  Let us know the extension and device names you have used in the test, and a timestamp of the test.
    thanks

  • Cannot find apps purchased for iPhone and iPad in iTune

    My iMac 27 running very slowly under Mavericks and since the upgrade of iTune to version 12.01.26 being impossible to complete a sync of my iPhone and iPad I decided to completely reset my iMac 27. Before doing this I copied all the files I wanted to keep on my MacBook Pro (including all my music and apps for iPhone and iPad).
    The OS X Mavericks being no longer available on the App Store I completely reset my iMac 27 and installed OS X Yosemite 10.10. Once this was done I copied back all the files I wanted to keep from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite). There was no problem with all my music now appearing in iTune. However I cannot find any of the apps I bought for my iPhone and iPad and which I copied back from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite).
    All the copied back apps appear correctly in the following directory of my iMac 27 :
    Musique/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/
    However none appear in any of the 5 sections in the Apps section of iTune.
    I decided to purchase an app in the App Store to see where the related file would appear and it appears in the same directory as stated above. I can see the icon of this newly purchased app in the app section of iTune but none of the apps I recopied from my MacBook Pro. Moreover when I go in the app store to see the newly purchased app I can see that it has been downloaded. However when I try to do the same for the apps I have already purchased and recopied the App Store tells me to purchase them. When I try to do the same on my MacBook Pro the App Store tells me that the apps have already been purchased, though they were the copied apps from my iMac 27 before full reset.
    Can someone help me to get all my previously purchased apps in iTune on my iMac 27 so I can sync my iPhone and iPad without loosing all the apps which appear on them ?

    Fruit Ninja has a unique iPhone version and a unique iPAD version. So for this particular App you can buy both. That said, if you decide to buy the iPhone version, the iPhone version will also work on your iPAD too. But the iPAD version which you have already purchased will not work on the iPhone.
    So to summarize, iPhone apps will work on iPAD, but iPAD unique or specific apps will not work on the iPhone. Some apps are designed to work on both beyond the features of just the iPhone app. The Fruit Ninja HD unique or specific iPAD app will not work on the iPhone.

  • Where is the documentation for Jabber for iPhone and iPad 9.6.1 ???

    Jabber for iPhone and iPad 9.6.1 was released on Tuesday Jan 14th 2014.
    I see the 4 .cop files on cisco.com  in a zip file copfiles_iOS96.zip. What is the difference between the 4 files?  Application in the AppStore on my iPad, but there are no release notes, or documentation on cisco.com.  All I can assume is that these .sgn files need to go on my Publisher/TFTP server?
    Nothing here about a 9.6.1

    I only see two COP files, one for iPhone (TCT) and one for iPad (TAB). These are required on older (can't believe I'm calling 8.6 older already!) builds of CUCM.
    Which other files do you see?

  • There is no option under the "Preferences" in iTunes to "Look for iPhones or iPads."

    Help!
    Every advice on not being able to link my Remote on my iPhone to my pc iTunes states to go to 'Preferences' in iTunes and under the 'Device's tab to check "Look for iPhones or iPads". I have no such option.
    Can someone help?
    Is my Norton 360 Antivrus firewall preventing remote access? Could this also be the reason why I cannot get the Airplay option on my iTunes either (trying to connect to B&W Zeppelin Air)?
    I have had so much trouble with Apple recently I am seriously getting hacked off!...

    I've connected via USB, clicked on my iPhone (is that 'select'?), but where do I type the 4 digit code in to? What window?...
    No USB, this is done over your wi-fi network.  You do have wi-fi at home right?  Are your computer and iPhone both connected your network, and the same network? (some wi-fi networks have a separate guest network).

  • How can I play app games for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

    Is it possible to play app-games made for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

    The iPhone and iPad run iOS and the Mac runs OS X.
    Apps written for iOS will not run on Mac.
    Only if the developer has written a version for OS X will it run on the Mac and you would have to buy and install that version of the Mac.

  • What Major/Career to design the iphone/ipod/ipad hardware and iOS design?

    I want to go to college to get a bachelor degree to design iphone/ipod/ipad hardware and iOS designing please tell me.

    If you are wanting to create internal hardware you need to pursue an Electrical Engineering degree. If you want to write software pursued a computer science degree.
    You probably would not be able work on both hardware and software on the iPhone while working at Apple.

    Kann ich meine Apple-Geräte (Macbook, Iphone, Ipod, Ipad) mit einem Adapter auch einfach in den USA benutzen? Braucht man einen Spannungswandler?

    O.k. in GarageBand 10.0.1 und Mavericks:
    Wenn Du das iRig an USB anschliesst, solltest Du eine Nachricht sehen, daß ein neues Gerät entdeckt wurde und ob Du es verwenden willsts. Sag ja, jedenfalls ist das so, wenn ich das JAM anshliesse, wenn GarageBand schon offen ist.
    Dann öffne die GarageBand Einstellungen im GarageBand Menue > Audio/Midi tab
    Als Eingabegerät wähle iRig.
    Als Ausgabegerät Kopfhörer oder eingebauter Ausgang. Ich ziehe den eingebauten Ausgang vor - ein Kabel weniger, das sich um den Gitarrenhals wickeln kann.
    Für den Gitarrentrack wähle die folgenden Einstellungen: Track > New Track. (vermutlich "Spur" im deutschen GarageBand). Ganz links unten sollte "iRig" ausgewählt sein.
    Suche einen Patch in der Instrumentenbibliothek aus, der viele Effekte hat, so dass Du hören kannst, ob die Effekte da sind, z.B. Mystery Chorus.  Die Amps werden über die patches in Instrumentenbibliothek gewechselt,  siehe die linke Spalte.  Rechts im Fenster muss die Gitarrenspur ausgewählt sein. Die neue Spur heisst in der Regel "Audio 1".
    Checke die Einstellungen in Audio/Midi Setup.  Die Frequenz muss stimmen:
    Jetzt solltest Du die Gitarre mit den Effekten hören können.
    Wenn Du alles geprüft hast, melde Dich gerne zurück, falls weitere Probleme sind.
    Grüße
    Leonie
    Übrigens, wenn Du ein neues GarageBand Projekt anlegst, kanns Du die Ein- und Ausgänge direkt im ersten Panel auswählen, sofern Dein iRig schon angeschlossen ist.
    Ganz unten ist eine Option "Details", und wenn Du das öffnest, sind dort gleich die Einstellungen für Eingang und Ausgang, außerdem für Tonart und Tempo.
    Ich hoffe, es macht nichts, daß meine Bildschirmfotos von der englischen Version sind. In der deutschen Version ist alles an derselben Stelle, heißt nur etwas anders. Es ist gerade ungünstig für mich, den Rechner neu zu starten, um auf die deutsche Version zu wechseln.
