I’ve mocked up screenshots for an iPhone app, and I’d like to create a demo that will run on several “internal” iPhone 4 and 4S’s. The demo will simply allow menus to move the user between screens and provide lifelike UISwitches, etc. All very basic with no underlying functionality.

Most importantly, the demo will need to run without any data connection.

Can I do this in a browser relying on HTML5 Application cache, or will I need to develop a native app?

Any other tips to complete this project in the easiest way possible?

    The best way to do this is to build all the views using the new Storyboarding functionality in the latest version of Xcode. That will let you construct your app more-or-less entirely using drag and drop without writing any code.

    The great advantage of this is that once you’re happy with the mockup you can basically just give it to a developer and they can turn it into the real app by writing the code behind the controls.

    Try downloading Xcode and creating a new Storyboard-based project and see how you get on.

    The only catch is that whilst you can run your app in the simulator for free, you will need a developer licence to install it on your phones, which means forking out $99.

    There are some wireframing solutions that don’t require a developer licence and will build the mockup app using HTML. If you’d prefer that approach, check out Prototypes on the Mac App Store:
