Please go to the latest edition of the iOS App Review Sites listing for the most recent version of this list. Hi, welcome to another update to my listing of app review sites. These sites should allow for free links to your apps in one form or another and accept submissions. If any now force […]
There’s been alot of hate from the “hardcore” gaming and game development crowd towards iPhone and iPad gaming. They don’t like it that on the iPhone you can purchase high-quality games at a small fraction of the price thanks to the relatively low cost of the iPhone SDK vs. the “hardcore” gaming platforms. They seem […]
If you’ve used interface builder then you’ve probably noticed that you can change the colors and the actual image used for a UIView or UIButton background. The problem with doing this is that things end looking just a bit off. Either the corners are squared, things are off center or the other view elements just […]
If you’ve looked at open source rendering engine’s on platforms other than the iPhone you’ve probably heard of Ogre3D. If you haven’t, Ogre3D is an MIT-licensed open source rendering engine written in C++ that provides excellent performance. The iPhone port of Ogre3D provides all the major features with the exception of Shaders (due to no […]
Found out about a pretty cool API that allows you to integrate the interactivity from the “Bump” app within your own apps. For those that don’t know, the Bump app allows you to connect with another iPhone user by simply bumping your phone to there’s, and by simply doing this you can exchange information such […]

The iPad is still on everybody’s mind, and I’ve been wasting time reading many of the commentaries and brainstorming app ideas. Here’s a roundup of some of the more insightful, and humorous posts I’ve seen from iPhone developers on the iPad along with some other articles providing technical knowledge that wasn’t really covered in the […]
Now that the Apple iPad has officially been announced, it’s time to look at what sort of opportunities for app development have arisen because of this new hardware. If the name is making you giggle, that’s a natural reaction. At first glance the iPad looks like a big iPhone, here’s a rundown of the […]
I know that many of the people viewing this site are absolute beginners to programming who are frustrated because they have difficulty with iPhone development books that they’ve bought. The problem is that most people don’t have the fundamentals in Objective-C or Object Oriented programming. One of the books I’ve recommended is Programming in Objective-C […]
Something that many developers do, or would like to do is implement some sort of mechanism to allow their users to share their apps using a social networking site like twitter. Typically the users will have to either enter their information, or need to authenticate through the twitter website, and being able to do this […]
Many months ago I wrote an article about how advertising really wasn’t viable yet. It appears that at the time there was a bottoming out in CPM (the price paid by advertisers for 1000 ad impressions), and for many app creators things have turned around. I found this great story about how one developer has […]
One of the things that makes the Objective-C language “different” from most other object oriented programming languages is that there is no simple command that allows you to print the subclasses of a class. I noticed this early on when using the language, and had to work around this. I don’t know why Objective-C doesn’t […]
Some time ago I decided to list a couple of options available for iOS development on Windows. Now, months later this is still something that has been brought up recently. So I have decided to expand the list, and include some of the other solutions that have cropped up since the original posting, and some […]
Editors Note: It still amazes me that some developers will spend thousands, even tens of thousands and have no more of a marketing strategy than “getting the app in the store”. Then not even spend the time to put up some screenshots. I received this great article submission from Robert J.B. talking about some […]
I recently checked out another iPhone development book, this time one the iPhone SDK3: Visual Quickstart Guide. I have to admit I’m a fan of the Viual Quickstart series of books, they are usually very straightforward, and if possible I like to choose short direct books before really getting into the details. You can view […]
