The document is a detailed guide by Thomas Swift on getting started with iPhone development, covering essential tools and concepts like Objective-C, Xcode, and app provisioning. It highlights the importance of understanding Apple’s sample code and troubleshooting common build errors. Swift encourages developers to engage with the iPhone developer community while acknowledging the challenges faced in app distribution through the App Store.

1. iPhone Development Zero to Sixty Tom Swift 1821 Design

2. Who the hell am I? iPhone Developer: Thomas Swift Owner of 1821 Design http://1821design.com Rails Developer & Web Designer http://twitter.com/tmy - add me or don't (i swear a lot)

3. Why iPhone Development? The iPhone kicks ass 3G and GPS Powerful OpenGL ES Mac Development Xcode & Objective-C App Store One Stop Shop Easy For Users Great For Developers *

4. Getting Started What you need iPhone Developer Account Newest Xcode Intel Machine :( What you (really) need iPhone or iPod Touch Developer Certificate Patience or some sort of mechanism to cope

5. Learning Objective-C or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bracket

6. Objective-C Things that threw me for a loop Bracket Madness Method Calling [object method:param] instead of object.method(param) Plus and Minus in front of method calls Going back to two files .m and .h Pointers and Memory Management Extremely long names of things UIBarButtonItem *buttonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:@selector(toggleView)]; Get Over It I’m sure I forgot something

7. Where I started Apple Sample Code Apple Sample Code is like an old BMW M5

8. Which M5 - E60 M5 ?

9. Which M5 – E36 M5?

10. Nope: the E34 M5

11. Why is Apple Sample code like a old BMW M5? Hand built by Single Person or a small team Test Drivers were able to tell who built them Each had own individual style to match objective Pretty badass and very relevant They get the job done A Little Old – except a few

12. Good Apple Samples LocateMe CoreLocation Delegates SpeakHere AudioToolbox AudioQueue AccelerometerGraph SeismicXML Pulling from the web Reachability Wifi, Cell Network Many More

13. Learning From Them Remove the 50 pages of comments from each file Start from the top main.m <APP>AppDelegate.h .m

14. Xcode is slick Research Assistant Code completion press esc Breakpoints & GDB Documentation Code Folding Instruments

15. A few tips An Error is an Error A Warning is an Error - Fix it When you alloc init something release it when your done with it Link to frameworks inside the iPhone SDK Frameworks, sometime you’ll get funky build errors Speaking of building ABB – Always Be Building

16. Simulators are no fun * Except for SimCity It’s a little faster to compile it to the simulator You can test out your didReceiveMemoryWarning (a little harder on the device)

17. Taste The Real Thing Accelerometer GPS Microphone * Real Memory Space Testing Hand Interaction (that sounds sick) Left Handed, Right Handed Screen Orientation Keyboard Flow Oh crap! Phone Call No WIFI, No Cell Signal

18. Developer Certificate

19. Getting that app on the Device Program Portal http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/overview/index.action Generate on keys the machine Upload to Apple Setup a Provision Profile Download the Profile Install in Xcode Send app to device

20. Program Portal

21. Team

22. Certificates

23. Devices

24. App IDs

25. Struggle

26. Provisioning Profile

27. Installing Provisioning Profile Download and Drag to Xcode Xcode should be open When things get jacked up Restart Xcode remove profiles delete from ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles drag the downloaded one to Xcode again restart xcode for good measure tweet about stabbing your eyes out

28. Build? Not Yet – Error 0xE8000001 Change Build Settings and info.plist

29. 2 nd Most Important Slide

30. Build Settings Right Click Blue Icon Get Info Click on Build Tab

32. YES!!!

33. Where to turn to when the S hits the fan? (before fnda lifted) Apple Docs Cocoa Dev Wiki The Googles http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum IRC #iphonedev on freenode Apple Dev Mail list Existing Source Code Wordpress iPhone Code

34. * App Store First off, It’s awesome But, REVIEWS Loose Guidelines NDA’d Rejections Sea of pointless apps * No Trials Cheap People

35. Don’t Take My Word for it I am not an expert I have no apps on the store Based on personal experience Your results WILL vary Not Covered Distribution and Ad-Hoc

36. Enough Blab Let’s build something! Thomas Swift 1821 Design Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/1821Design/
