.... and made anything good? I assume there's some creative types on here that couldn't resist having a play

Justin has it. I'm going to download it in a few days.

Thought he had. Must get him to do something about it on the blog.....

Nope, I'm annoyed that it doesn't support background processes. That means no official version of MobileScrobbler or a decent podcast client.

Yeah, was going to put up some screen shots and first impressions.

The iPhone simulator is awesome though.

That's a bit sucky - so no Twitter-esque apps either?

Im fairly sure I read that this is not the case. Apps can run persistently but apple would prefer they didnt. For some apps it is just unavoidable.

I've been playing around with it a bit over the weekend, mainly the UIKit so far. I've managed to get a nice flippy thing going, like the prefs in Weather/Stocks.

I don't seem to be able to detect swipes though which is quite frustrating, either I can't get the simulator to produce them or code in the docs is wrong.

Might have a look into the other frameworks later.

once you've installed it...how do you run it! lol

not at all a programmer!

Matt · 10 Mar 2008 at 20:36

I downloaded it... then though about it a while and deleted it

I don't understand c!

Downloading now. New to making applications but I'll be learning it all, hopefully.

You'll want Xcode too and teach yourself Objective C and Cocoa etc,,

Already got that, and have been playing with it a little. Looks fun!

I'm going to be downloading this soon

Made quite a few apps with Applescript in Xcode now so hopefully can get to grips with the SDK quite quickly and produce some apps, my C++/C specialisation should make the transition that bit easier

Got quite a few ideas as well

iSam · 10 Mar 2008 at 22:09

Get an OcUK app factory going!

Yeah C++ will really help you.

The iPhone tester application is awesome! It's actually an iPhone! Plus I don't have one so it makes it even more exciting!

Anyone have an tutorials/sites on xcode?

Ok, using the Apple Dev centre. Seems good enough!

Yup, dev center has everything you'll ever need.
