Using Ios 4.0
I want to build a project throw which we can remote access other i phone through one.Is it possible in any cases, its totally idea in dreams i don't know whether it is visible or not.
I haven't s
Thanks.
There are applications that allow mac/windows desktop sharing from an iphone/ipad (example RemotePC, Splashtop). And there are applications which allow you to access the iPhone screen from a desktop (Veency VNC). Hence accessing iPhone from another also should be possible.
You can also check out Game Kit for connecting iOS devices

Say I want to develop applications for iPhone, but I only have a phone with Windows Mobile and for whatever reason I cannot switch to iPhone or buy a new phone.
Is there any iPhone emulator for Windows Mobile that would allow me to run apps on Windows Mobile 6? I have HTC HD2.
P.S. I'm not interested in emulators for any other platform.
No there no is none, since the CocoaTouch platform is is not opensourced you can't really emulate the platform.
Nor is it possible to emulate iOS on your device, since iOS will require some specific hardware.
You will also need a Mac to develop app since Xcode will only run on OSX.
No. You can't do it without an iPhone and obviously a developer account in order to provision your device.
In your question, you should be asking something like" iOS emulator for windows", which is no.
Understand more about SDKs and emulators, you cannot emulate iOS on a actual WM device but a simulator in a computer; this is not a platform problem, it's a understanding problem, you can still code apps without iPhone and publish it, it's just skipping a step.
If you are on Mac OSX, your good to go, grab the SDK and use the emulator bundled with it
BTW, even if you do get a iphone, you still need a computer with OSX and xcode installed to start coding
I am developing an application in iOS 4.0, after having made several apps in Symbian S60v3.
Where I am stuck in iOS is that I want to access a file from the device which is saved from a third-party application to some location on the device.
In the case of symbian I knew its location: System\Data\xyz\alpha.inf, but with iOS I don't know how to access the location.
You can't. It is one of the security features in iOS that applications are sandboxed and cannot share data at all.
I've been developing an iPhone web app on a Windows XP box using
MobiOne Test Center and Safari for testing and debugging and
occasionally using a real iPhone for testing. The problem is that
MobiOne, Safari (desktop), and the iPhone all produce different
errors. Obviously I am most concerned with the errors that occur on
the iPhone, since that is the target device. (An example of the type
of error encountered is that an image that ordinarily appears as
expected occasionally cannot be displayed, so the little question-mark
icon appears instead.)
I have the opportunity to obtain a Mac for development, but I need to
know whether using a Mac will make a difference.
Have any of you moved to the Mac for developing or just testing a web-only iPhone app?
Is doing so worthwhile? Why?
Does the iPhone simulator in the SDK simulate an iPhone better than Safari on the Windows desktop?
Is there a reason I would need a paid subscription to the Apple iOS Developer Program?
Thanks!
In short: no, I don't think a Mac is necessary for developing iPhone web apps, especially seeing as you have access to a device to test on, and you seem to be fine in your progress of development.
If you're not aware, there's a debug console available on Mobile Safari on your iPhone. Go to Settings > Safari > Developer (at the bottom) > Debug Console and turn that on.
When developing an iPhone web app, you do not need to pay for the iOS Developer Program. That program is for developing native apps to deploy either to your company or the App Store only.
Web apps, on the other hand, are nothing more than web sites that are designed (i.e. include certain meta tags, have mobile-friendly interface designs) to be run similarly to native apps on a device, and harness certain Web technologies such as geolocation that are available to devices. Users view them in Mobile Safari like any other web site, but for the best experience are asked to tap on the + sign and add your web app to their home screens to be accessed as such.
The iPhone Simulator certainly does a better job than desktop Safari on either Windows or Mac OS X since its user interface shares that of the iPhone device, but I don't think you'll need it for testing and debugging if you have a device to test on.
The iOS SDK has a tool called Dashcode but I don't think it's much of a difference from the web dev IDEs that the rest of us use every day. As far as I can tell, Dashcode doesn't give your web app any additional features that can't already be implemented using the standards we're familiar with.
I would not buy a Mac or a paid subscription to the Apple iOS developer program unless I was writing native iPhone applications.
You should be fine with your current configuration. Just make sure you do the bulk of your testing on the actual iPhone, that is what your customers will be using.
Does the iPhone simulator in the SDK simulate an iPhone better than Safari on the Windows desktop?
Yes - there are some significant differences between MobileSafari and Safari for Mac/Windows - but you've got an iPhone to test on. The iPhone Simulator offers no additional debugging tools for iPhone web apps, so you're not going to be better off having it available than just testing on the device.
Testing on an actual device is better than testing on any of the Simulators, since that is what you mobile customers will actually be using.
If you are strictly building web apps, your money might be better spent on more test devices (devices with and without a Retina display, iPad, maybe an old used iPod Touch running some prior version of iOS for regression testing, etc.) If you are choosy about your colors, the color can vary quite a bit across devices, so it may help to find one warm display and one cold one (from old/different manufacturing lots, etc.).
So you don't NEED a Mac (unless you have other reasons for acquiring one).
Buy an iMac. You will enjoy the experience better.
It is my understanding that your application needs to be compiled on a mac before it can be sold in the app store.
I am creating a desktop version of an iPhone app and would like to have some sort of sync option. The desktop version of the app is an Air app.
I know that I can have them communicate by:
Starting a server on the desktop or the phone
Ask the user to enter the IP of the device into the other one
Make GET and POST requests over the http server
This seems very clunky to me, however, and I would like for them to automatically recognize each others presence when the sync button is pressed. How can this be done between an iPhone and an Air app?
Figured out a way myself: Bonjour
It is possible to implement on the Air side
It is possible to implement on the iPhone side:
I am having a iphone and i have created an application using Xcode. Now i want to move this application into my iphone for my use. How can it be done?
I tried to copy my application to the iphone Applications folder using the phone view software, but i'm not able to open my application in the iphone. It shows the error
"Your Myapp.app cannot be open"
Is there any other way to install my application into the iphone? Please guide me regarding this.
Thanks
You'll need to register as an iPhone developer to get the correct keys for signing and loading an application onto an iPhone. If you are writing an application that you plan to sell via the AppStore then this is $99 to register, if it's for internal use only then $199.
First did you use the real SDK or the simulator?
The simulator SDK only hides some OS X calls that don't exist on iPhone, but is otherwise the normal OS X SDK. So first make sure you link against the (ARM) iPhone SDK.
Then comes the licensing bit. Afaik in a non jailbroken iPhone you can only load signed apps (via the AppStore, or using a license obtained from Apple to sign your own)
Xcode will automatically install and run an application on your iphone if you use the correct project setting.
Project -> Set Active SDK -> iPhone Device 3.0
Note that you will need a provisioning key before this becomes possible.
visit http://developer.apple.com/iphone to view some easy-to-understand tutorials on how to get one of these.
I assume you have signed up as an iPhone developer on that website (costs $99).
