Want to start iPhone development
iphone
Solution
In summary:
- You can download the SDK from Apple for free
- You will need to learn some Objective-C, even if you plan to develop with C or C++
- You can run OSX in a virtual machine with a bit of effort - but a Mac is recommended
There is a simulator but:
It's capabilites and performance are different to that of a real device so you will benefit from having at least one iPhone/iPod touch to test for real.
In addition to this, performance and capabilities vary between different models so it can be helpful to have a range of devices.
- You will need to enroll with an Apple iPhone development program if you intend to test your apps on an actual device and/or release any of your apps to the App Store ($99)
