Hey,

I'm very new to the Iphone development, and my first question is:
Is there any way to program applications for the Iphone using the Apple SDK and the Xcode IDE on a PC computer?


Thanks

Dont listen to them ^

Its not exactly PC, but it doesnt involve spending $1000 on a mac.
Use this guide: Official Dell Inspiron 1501 Guide - InsanelyMac Forum

This will work for any computer. You should know A LITTLE about Dual Booting/MAC/OSX86

Also unless you use WiFi, only do steps 1-11 and you'll be able to use it in VmWare(If you dont even know what that is, give up)

If you need ANY help, contact me via PM and ill get back to you.

Wow, that post is old. didn't expect to get an answer from here quite a while now.
Well, indeed I didn't listen to them!
I installed a hackintosh on my PC and it works really great so far.

I appreciate your reply though. thanks!

is there realy no other way than OSX86 for developing on pc for iphone ?


in my case OSX86 will be difficult since my pc is a laptop and I fear hardware compatibility problems...


thanks !

If you want to develop for the App Store, you must use a Mac.

If you want to develop for Cydia/jailbreak, it is possible to develop on the iPhone itself from the PC. It may also be possible to develop on the PC using Cygwin, but that has not been well documented for 2.x/3.x.

I have looked the cygwin solution but it's also quite difficult : i will try osx86 wich is more documented.

thank you !

There is a very simple solution to this, provided that you only want to develop for jailbroken devices. Follow Jay Freeman(saurik)'s instructions at Upgrading the iPhone Toolchain - Jay Freeman (saurik) to upgrade the toolchain for 2.0+. Also, keep in mind if you want to link against the new 3.0 frameworks and libraries, you will have to compile ld64.

you shoud use iatkos v7 to dualboot mac and windows. If you cant use wifi on the mac go into windows and download the sdk. Then switch to your mac and install it- it works perfectly for me!

yeah you can use iatkos v7 to dualboot mac and windows. If you dont have wifi on your mac download the sdk with windows and go to your mac and install it. Go to Shiny Gizmo
for a guide
