I have to communicate with iOS devices on windows. I'm looking to something similar to libimobiledevice which allows system services that iTunes is providing by default, such accessing to music, photos and etc. What's the best practice or library to do so? What about dependencies, such as iTunes and external libraries that have to be shipped along with the program?
Check out Bonjour:

The Unofficial port for libimobiledevice could be an answer but it is not updated regularly :

You can find a Windows build of imobiledevice here: http://quamotion.mobi/iMobileDevice/
Hope it helps,

Is it possible to write proper Swift-code using the AppCode IDE from JetBrains? I'm looking for an option to build a native iOS-app without buying a macbook or iMac. I've been looking and searching for a while now and coudn't find any solution without buying the additional hardware. With the AppCode IDE it seems like I don't have to.
If you have any ideas or experience let me know?
Basically no you can't.
if you are planning to develop ios app you have to buy macbook or install hackintosh or rent a mac on the cloud or virtualise || virtualbox

Is it possible to uninstall an AIR Application programmatically (or via command line)? I know I can uninstall the AIR Runtime programmatically.
Thanks for any hint!
Please see here for uninstalling the application (not the runtime):
Adobe Air application (not runtime) - silently uninstall using an administrative command?
I solved it by deleting the .app Directory of the Application to uninstall. This met my usecase, but if someone knows how to do this with windows or linux, I'm looking forward for other answers :)
Actually I have read about that I can write Objective-C app on Linux (using GNUStep).
But my question is, Am I will be able to develop completely iPhone app on Linux machine?
Or I'll need eventually need to use Mac machine?
Especially when I read that there are some some syntax diffs between NeXT/Apple and GCC (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-C)
Short answer - yes it can be done but is not as easy as the Mac way.

I'd try giving VirtualBox and a Mac OS X guest a shot. Some people say they've been able to run it.

If you manage to run it, then you could install X-Code and things should be a lot easier.
i have googled alot on how to create a mobilesubstrate plugin for iPhone but couldnt get any basic tutorial for that. Anybody having any knowledge of how to do this? I am looking for a basic understanding of it.
Thanks :)
This script automatically setup iphone toolchain for you, runs on Mac OS X, thanks to #rpetrich. http://gist.github.com/403608
First, remember to
apt-get remove iphone-gcc on the iphone
before running this script on your mac, if you don't want to collect headers files from iphone sdk, follow the Darwin arm part of the script and I think you should be good.
