I want to try some programming for iphone. For that I need a Mac

  • 0

I want to try some “programming for iphone”.

For that I need a Mac OS X, no question about it.. But I have a problem I don’t have a Mac Computer.

I have a Intel Dual-Core PC, running XP. Snow Leopard its for Intel, but for Intel Mac computers, right?.

If I manage to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my Notebook.

Do you think I can still install and do programming for Iphone, as well in a Mac Computer?

There will be any problems in the programming or debugging?

And there is another thing.. I don’t have an iphone. That will may be a problem right?

    There’s a commercial environment which allows to develop iPhone applications directly from a Windows machine. You might want to give it a look instead of going through the huge and illegal hassle of setting up a hacked version of OS X on your PC.

    http://www.dragonfiresdk.com/index.htm

    It was released recently and they claim that some applications produced with it have already been approved for release in the App Store.

    From http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/06/15/dragonfire-sdk :

    Their pitch: write iPhone apps using C and C++ on Windows, using Visual Studio, using Zimusoft’s SDK and their own iPhone Simulator. Then you upload your project to Zimusoft’s servers, where they take the project and compile it using an actual Mac and Xcode. You can then submit the resulting “real” binary to the App Store yourself, or let Zimusoft publish it to the App Store themselves.
