Many think that iPhone apps development
is a complicated and difficult process. However, if you are beginner
in the field of iPhone development then you will be much relieved to
know that developing
iPhone applications is easy process provide you have
knowledge about the development tools. Apple provides an iPhone SDK
or Software Development Kit which contains the tools and technologies
needed to create an iPhone application. iPhone apps developers who
are providing professional services in iPhone development field have
to remain updated with the latest information or updates in the SDK.
They have to keep themselves updated
about the changes in the tools and technologies used for creating
tailor made applications.
The first thing that you must do prior
to beginning the iPhone apps development project is to register as an
iOS Developer. After this you should proceed to download the iOS SDK.
iOS is the device operating system, derived from Mac OS X and written
in Objective -C. The iPhone applications are written by developers
using Objective-C. The SD kit contains all the resources and tools
required for creating applications. It also includes the iOS
simulator, interface builder, Xcode and instruments. If you already
have some basic knowledge related to programming logic and objective
C and Cocoa syntax will prove to be very useful.
The interface builder is used to drag
and drop blocks and create the application. This eliminates the need
to write code for everything. Most of the work involved in developing
iPhone applications doesn't need coding skills. Collecting real time
data and comparing performances can be accomplished by using
instruments. X-code provides the development environment, editor and
debugger. iOS simulator lets you test the application. Once the apps
development process is complete, you can proceed to submit it to the
apps store for approval and publishing. This way the application gets
distributed.
