iPhone Development

Any iPhone coders in /prague/? Such an awesome platform with so many possibilities to be had. I just got a developers account and am starting work on my first commercial game.

No, fuck you.

I would not code for iOS, here's why:

Spend $99 a year to even be allowed to develop for it
Application must follow certain guidelines, and may still get denied for some bogus reason, causing one to have wasted countless work hours and money for nothing. One could always release the app to cydia, but then one will have a smaller target audience. In addition, there is the ugliness of having to do things in Objective-C with cocoa.

Pick another platform. Hell, develop for the up and coming meego, it just might make it big.

Go away.

switch to android

Coding in Objective-C? I SEE YOUR TROLLING

There are kids that have apps out for the iPhone. 8 and 12 year old kids.
If that isn't enough reason to stay away then I can't think of a better one.

Smartphone developers are the scum of the Earth.

The problem with Android is that the user base consists predominantly freetards. There is little point in developing commercially because the users are too cheap to buy anything!

>Spend $99 a year to even be allowed to develop for it
The $99 includes more than just development rights. You get your app listed in the store and apple handle all the payment shit etc there is no extra dicking around.

>Application must follow certain guidelines
I don't see a problem sticking to tried and tested UX guidelines. The iPhone user experience is slick and it would be stupid to deviate from that.

>and may still get denied for some bogus reason, causing one to have wasted countless work hours and money for nothing
Not really. If your app gets denied they give you a detailed summary of exactly what is wrong. You simply fix it and resubmit, simple.

>Pick another platform.
There is no better platform (see android reasoning) and hell no to developing for speculative systems. I want to work with something that exists _now_.
