"So you’re going to write an iPhone app…" Tips from a dev using a preview of the SDK
- tlrobinson 19y agoIt doubt he's using a preview of the real SDK, he's probably using the hacked SDK.
- mqt 19y agoYou're right. His MobileTwitterific site says he's using the toolchain from the iPhone Dev Wiki. I incorrectly assumed that the headline (taken from reddit) was true since the article seemed so detailed.
- boucher 19y agoAnyone using the real SDK who posted this kind of article would immediately be sued by Apple. But, more importantly, the kind of people who would have early access to the iPhone SDK just would never write something like this, especially not in their name. Nobody in the mac community wants to make an enemy of Steve Jobs.
- davidw 19y agoSounds like a desktop guy running head on into the embedded world. And not even all that tough an embedded situation...GUI, 64 megs, etc...
- mixmax 19y agoYeah embedded is definitely different - and a lot harder. I did a startup once where we were developing a new display technology, and my partner (who is incidentally the greatest hacker I have ever come across) had to fit all software, including screen drivers, communication, logic, etc. into 2K of ROM and 4K of RAM. 64 megs? phew... That's 16.000 times as much as we had...
- jamescoops 19y agotip - dont bother building an iphone app - the installed base is tiny - you'd be better off targeting the wider mobile market ?
