iPhone Development Tools Xcode is the key development tool that includes source code project management, source code editor, device organizer, documentation, source code control, debugging. With Xcode you can create, write, build and run your iPhone application. Interface Builder (IB) is a drag and drop editor for the user interface of the iPhone app. With IB you can “sketch” your UI and then associate it to your code in Xcode. Cocoa Touch: is Apples framework that provides a foundation for any iPhone app. It provides controls and and object classes for a developer to use the iPhone’s features like Multi-Touch, Accelerometer, Location, Views, Camera. [id] Objective-C is an object-oriented language used do develop iPhone applications. iPhone Simulator is used to run applications in a simulated “iPhone” on a Mac. For most of the development cycle the simulator is just ﬁne. (Beware: does not behave “exactly” like the physical device). Xcode includes a number of Performance Tools to tune your application. You can observe resource consumption/leaks with Instruments and speed with Shark. jTribe -love your apps, (c) 2009 jTribe, All Rights Reserved Wednesday, 25 November 2009
