Does Apple or anyone have a glossary of terms used in iphone and android app development? Screens, Skins, Pages…all names I have seen used for the same thing. I really want a list of tech terms for all aspects of a mobile app. That way, idea guy and developer guy don’t spend 20 emails and 3 days figuring out that they are saying the same thing.

To learn the lingo I suggest reading the official SDK documentation and they will introduce much of the top level terminology to you.

iOS:
If you are really interested in this you can look for a nice GUI theory book but everyone has their own theories and there is no accepted definition.
