October, 2008 10 Million iPhones

• App store stats

July, 2008 (launch) : 552 Apps December 5, 2008 : 300M downloads February, 2009 : 20.000 Apps / 500M downloads

Openness

Closed source with open source components.

Given Apple’s history, this is likely to stay this way.

Where to start?

http://developer.apple.com/iphone/

Download iPhone SDK, if you are a Registered iPhone Developer or enrolled in the iPhone Developer Program

SDK includes :XcodeIPhone simulatorMonitoring instrumentsInterface builder

• loading an application onto devices is only possible after paying a Apple Developer Connection membership fee of 99 $ (standard) or 299 $ (enterprise)

• => XCode demo : UDecide

Web apps

• http://www.apple.com/webapps/

• http://www.shockwise.com/iphone/draw.php

• Developers are free to set any price for their applications to be distributed through the App Store, of which they will receive a 70 percent share

• Developers can also opt to release the application for free and will not pay any costs to release or distribute the application beyond the membership fee

Web Apps

Applications are downloaded directly to iPhone or iPod Touch

App Store is also available within iTunes

Applications are subject to approval by Apple, as outlined in the SDK agreement, for basic reliability testing and other analysis

Applications may be rejected if they are of only "limited utility"

Toolbars must be placed at the bottom of the screen, and the vibration function should only be used for alerts

How do we develop Apps for the iPhone?

We can use Xcode / Objective C

We can develop AJAX / Javascript applications that can be accessed through Safari

We can use Java

We can install Java on an unlocked iPhone

AJAX & JavaScript

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) : a group of interrelated web development techniques used to create interactive web applications or rich Internet applications. With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. Despite the name, the use of JavaScript and XML is not actually required, nor do the requests need to be asynchronous. The acronym AJAX has thus changed to the term Ajax, which does not represent these specific technologies.

Applets were the precursors of AJAX

With iPhone Safari browser, very rich and native looking Apps are possible

AJAX & JavaScript

AJAX plugin for eclipse or standalone version : http://www.aptana.com/

Morfik also has an IDE : http://www.morfik.com/#Home

Native look and feel screen controls : IUI. Based on the work of Joe Hewitt who developed the free Facebook iPhone App.

• Create Navigational Menus and iPhone interfaces from standard HTML

• Use or knowledge of JavaScript is not required to create basic iPhone pages

• Ability to handle phone orientation changes.

(real) Java on the iPhone

No official support

It is however possible to run Java on the iPhone

We have to pull some tricks, jailbreaking, installing...

Apple has stated it will not design software updates specifically to break native applications other than applications that perform SIM unlocking
