Who is jTribe
jTribe is a mobile services and consulting company based in Melbourne, Australia. Founded in
2005 our directors come with enterprise experience and have arrived in the mobile space with
the ability to smoothly deliver projects. jTribe specialises in integrating mobile solutions with
backends. We also have a keen interest in geo-location apps and have released several mobile
apps in that space. Our second area of interest is content delivery for iPhone and Android.

Currently we are working on iPhone and Android projects for DELL and Zendesk.

At jTribe we believe that the key mobile technologies will be the Apple iPhone OS, Google’s
Android and the Mobile Web. Each of these competencies is represented by one of our
directors...

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.

developer web site. It is the main information resource for iPhone
