Anyone try making an iPhone application?
-
I went out this weekend and bought an iMac so I could play with the new iPhone SDK. I've got a simple game up and running already. The learning curve is pretty steep though... XCode is the environment that is used for development. It's no Visual Studio, that's for sure. Anyone else?

No, but it certainly looks like an intriguing platform. Objective C is pretty cool once you get the hang of it and the framework that's built on top of it is pretty powerful (if a little verbose in terms of method names). Yeah XCode is not that great IMHO. I'd be curious to see what debugging is like. For desktop stuff, at least prior to XCode 3, it was a pretty crappy experience*, especially if you used C++, so I'd be like to see what, if any, improvements have been made here. *I put a large amount of the blame on the blight that is GDB. But that's just me.

I have read something about new generation OS for mobile phones. I could say that Android, google OS for future mobiles phones is the next generation OS. It has an SDK, like iPhone, and programming is really pretty under java. I will take a look to iPhone SDK too.

For those who are curious about iPhone development using the newly released SDK, I have created a discussion site dedicated to this topic: http://www.appstoredev.com/forum/

Except that Android is kind of a lowest common denominator approach. It's lacking a lot of the cool features, i.e. support for touch input, especially multi touch, support for a directional sensor (i.e. lets you tell which direction the phone, if you tip it/change it's angle, etc). It remains to be seen what you can do with android beyond a pretty bare bones phone, *AND*, at the moment, there is no real world android device that's selling!

No, it's not just you - I had to use GDB...once. I wouldn't mind so much if there was a GDB GUI that was even as good as WinDbg, but nope. I commented on a Tim Bray blog post yesterday, where he was saying that debugging an Apache extension (probably on Solaris, I guess) was really difficult - my response was 'well, if it was built with VS so you could use Windows debugging features, debugging an Apache mod would (I would have thought) be very easy'.
