how long do you guys think it should take to develop an app similar to pocketMoney? This is my first iPhone App and my Objective-c knowledge is pretty much academic, I’m the only developer, I had never touched Core Data or Core Animation before.
For your first iPhone app I’d try something much simpler. You don’t have to make it to the app store (but if it does something worthwhile why not). An experienced dev could probably make pocketMoney in around a week of work. Possibly less as there are people who do these 24 or 48 hour long build time for apps. If you know what you are doing it isn’t bad to do something like pocketMoney. The thing that takes the time is testing every feature you can, writing your unit testing (preferably as you go), and tracking down those random bugs. Including all of those things I’d say you would need a few weeks to do all that for a 1 person team. Games you can sometimes make fast, but specially with financial apps you don’t want bugs…
