This iPhone development tutorial will help any aspiring software developer to create and distribute programs for one the most used operating systems, iOS. Using a development kit from Apple will assist in making any program easy to write and maintain. You can be well on your way to financial success with a successful app after some assistance from this iPhone development tutorial.

You will need:

  • A computer - an iPhone app can be developed using either Mac OS X or a Windows machine
  • An iPhone SDK kit
  • An internet connect
  • objective c resource
  1. Open and install the iPhone SDK kit. It costs $99 to be able to use the kit. It comes with an emulator for iOS, so you will not have to keep transferring the application to you phone.
  2. Start coding your app. The iOS environment uses objective Ccoding for iPhone development.  It will compile any C code that you may use. There are many different aspects of objective C that may be used; classes, functions, and variables are implemented much the same way as C, although they are not covered in this iPhone development tutorial.
  3. Test the iPhone development to ensure there are minimal bugs. This can be done in the iPhone emulator that comes with the development kit.
  4. Submit the iPhone app the the Apple development team. They will determine whether or not your application fits within their guidelines, and deny or reject your application.
