It's live! The latest iPhone SDK has been seeded to developers looking to get their wares ready for the AppStore launch on July 11. The iPhone SDK beta 8 is the SDK that will work with the final iPhone 2.0 OS firmware - the "Gold Master" if you will. Today is the day that speculation pegs [...]

New Apple iPhone SDK (Beta 6) is out; OS X 10.5.3 required

Thu, 29 May 2008 10:10:20 +0000

The iPhone SDK Beta 6 is available, roughly three weeks after the previous build was released. We're not sure what's new inside, but whatever it is, an updated version of Leopard (10.5.3) is required.

Apple iPhone SDK Beta 5 now available

Wed, 07 May 2008 06:28:12 +0000

The Beta 5 version of the iPhone SDK is now out. Unlike the previous release, this one doesn't bring much new to the table. However, tweaks to the developers tools and some bug fixes should be more than enough for any iPhone/iPod Touch developer out there to update. This fifth beta release of the iPhone SDK [...]

Sun: We're still gunning for Java (JVM) on the Apple iPhone

Sun, 04 May 2008 00:48:46 +0000

Call them what you want, but you can't call Sun Microsystems a bunch of quitters. They are a persistent lot. Even after Apple's announcement that they don't want Java on the iPhone, Sun is pushing to get Apple to agree to letting the iPhone play nice with a Java JVM (Java Virtual Machine). "We've expressed our [...]

Newest iPhone SDK beta could allow applications and processes to run in background

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:36:19 +0000

It's not everyday that we see even a modicum of concern from Cupertino regarding public (by which I mean the blogosphere's) opinion on any Apple product. That said, it's good to see that the newly released iPhone SDK beta could allow applications to run processes in the background - opening the door for true multi-tasking [...]

iPhone SDK beta 2 now available

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:56:58 +0000

I'm not sure whether to classify this as a good or a bad news for iPhone developers. On one end, the SDK beta 2 adds new functionalities and developers should be able do much more. For instance the new beta of Xcode 3.1 now includes iPhone-ready Interface Builder. Then again, weekend is coming and [...]

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 01:47:28 +0000

Microsoft may not have cashed in on the initial iPhone hype, but that doesn't mean the behemoth tech company doesn't have plans to milk the cash cow from Cupertino. Upon reviewing the recently released Apple iPhone SDK and Apple's announced support for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft says it is seriously considering a push into developing applications [...]

Google releases APIs to work with iPhone

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 00:06:56 +0000

Ahh, Google and Apple. It's nice to see these two tech innovators continuing to work together in harmony. Google has just released a set of APIs in their GData Objective-C Client Library that will allow iPhone developers to use Google APIs alongside Apple's APIs in the iPhone SDK. Of course, all applications written in Objective-C should [...]

Apple may ban development of music player application for iPhone

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:31:46 +0000

Talk about lockdown. In a move that should make anti-trust litigators foam at the mouth, Apple has reportedly banned the development of any music player application for the iPhone. The new iPhone SDK apparently restricts applications from accessing iTunes functions, effectively prohibiting developers from accessing the iTunes music library or expanding on the iPhone's music-player. That [...]

Apple's iPhone AppStore digital application signatures explained - developer costs lowest in industry

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 01:30:07 +0000

We already know that Apple plans to lockdown the development environment for iPhone applications made with the iPhone SDK and distributed through the AppStore. But, the question is, just how does Apple plan to keep such a tight leash on all those oncoming applications, and how does that play into the plan to charge a [...]

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:15:04 +0000

Everything's a bit muddled in the iPhone firmware world. Will the iPhone v1.2 "Aspen" OS that's used in the iPhone SDK emulator be released prior to the iPhone v2.0 firmware that's due out in June? The iPhone v1.2 Aspen firmware could actually be the firmware that will serve as the iPhone SDK-compatible v2.0 firmware - [...]

You may like it or not, but iPhone keeps getting most of the media attention. Today Cupertino folks announced that a total of 100,000 SDKs were downloaded. It's only fair to say not all of these people will actually ever make an iPhone application, but the number is impressive nevertheless. As a matter of fact, [...]

iPhone SDK: iPhone emulator uses iPhone OS v1.2 firmware (codenamed Aspen); to be released?

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:57:14 +0000

The iPhone SDK includes an iPhone emulator that makes it easy for iPhone developers to test their code without having to risk corrupting a real-life iPhone. But, while the rest of us mortals will have to be satisfied with the current iPhone v1.1.4 firmware, the iPhone emulator gets to play with a newer, unreleased version [...]

The interface includes preset styles that we've all come to associate with the iPhone. You can start off with the default browsing screen template (you know, [...]
