The iPhone App

The iPhone App

I have always been a fan of the iPhone and have always made it a goal of mine to one day develop an iPhone application. Well today i can announce that i have completed my very first iPhone application and it has been submitted to the iPhone App Store for review and will hopefully appear soon.

It has been suggested for quite some time that i shouldn't jump into full-on iPhone development because i do not know Objective C, in the slightest, so a web app has been my starting goal.

UPDATE: The app got kinda rejected. So scrap that idea.

Just last week i was informed about a framework called PhoneGap, the framework is a native running frame work that will output a web application stored within it so this gave me the push into starting.

PhoneGap allows you to simply have your web app run as a native application on the iPhone that people can access through the App Store, so obviously this was great for me because I know how to design websites and know how to develop webapps too.

After spending some time getting my head around it and creating my first web application using PhoneGap and jqTouch i had completed it and it was ready for the launch, now we just play the waiting game.

The iPhone application does nothing more than reformat the content of this website including the blog posts and lifefeed but makes it accessible on the iPhone, natively.

The application will of course be free and should spear in the App Store soon, i will keep everyone updated when it is available.

I\'ll get right on it, i\'m currently in the process of learning bits of objective C in an effort to build my next little app, a soundboard.
