Hello World Iphone Application

Getting Started with iPhone Development: Pre-requesites and Instalation

how to create  iphone applicationTo get started with any iPhone development you will need to have the iPhone SDK . You can get it from here (http://developer.apple.com/iphone). Don't worry, this is free. To download it you need to have a apple developer account which is free for everyone - just go and create one. To test the code on device (iPhone) you need to buy a developer license which cost you 99$ or 299$ for companies. But for now we will use only an iPhone simulator, wich is also free.

Before getting started with development, you should already be aware of the basic concepts of Iphone. I'm assuming you already have knowledge of how an Iphone works.

Also, you need a MAC machine. The specifications of the machine : Intel processor with 10.5.7 or latest Leopard installed.

Upon downloading the sdk, and after updating your mac os x to 10.5.7 leopard or more, you can install the sdk. If your MAC is not updated to 10.5.7 or more, you can install the xcode but you wont be able to install the iphone development kit. iPhone SDK check box should be enabled and bold. Make sure of this in your installation.

Running Xcode

-> Application
-> Xcode

-> File
