Can anyone give me a short version of what it takes to develop an app which connects to an accessory? I signed up to the 'made for ipod' program and got a huge pile of technical specifications docs which I have no idea how to start with.
Any help would be appreciated.

Reading the accessory section in Apple's iPhone app programming guide is probably a great place to start, and includes links to other, more formidable, documentation.

I have come across a slight problem in my programming of an iPod Touch application. However I am very enthusiastic that it can be solved and that a nudge in the right direction will be of great help. I have experience with Objective C, XCode and the essential app builders included with XCode also.
My question is, as the title says, how do I log a user into youtube through my iPod Touch application? I have looked through the countless api documentation for youtube, objective c and many other google APIs. After all my searching for the last few days I have found that OAuth2 seems to be the most lightweight way to connect a user to youtube in an application. All it requires is the client id and client secret.
However, even knowing this, I am finding it difficult to understand the code needed to simply connect a user to youtube through my application. Could anyone perhaps suggest a sample code? Or point me in the right direction?
Kindest Regards,
Joey Tawadrous

Hope it will help you.
The Event Handling Guide for iOS mentions the Device Features Programming Guide. However, that guide disappeared. Google points to broken links at Apple, which redirects to the iOS Reference Library.
Has this been renamed? Does anyone know the name of that guide now?
Is that it?

I was wondering what would be the steps I need to follow if I am just an individual looking to write my own apps and get it approved by apple to feature on their store. Also, is it just objective-c I need to learn or what other skills would I require ?
What would be a good tutorial or a place to start ? What are the tools I require? I found this but still for those of you developing there...I would appreciate any help sorry if this was too generic..all I want is good direction..
Personally I think that books are a good way to learn. For example, here are a few:

You will need:
An Intel Mac
XCode
A $99 developer fee if you want to actually build for a device/put it on the actual device
I recently started with iPhone app development in school. I read the Head First iPhone book which was a decent start just to get into it. I highly recommend the iPhone lecture series from Stanford University available for free on iTunes U.
I agree with Andrew M - but would add that Apple's sample code is a good way to learn by example. You can look at code and reference material without becoming an iOS Developer.
iOS Reference Library
You can do a lot in the iPhone Simulator but at some point you will need to pony up $99 (per year) to start testing on devices.
I have been programming in Microsoft Dot net for the past 4 years. Now, I want to develop an iPhone application. I have no idea where to start. I do not know anything about MAC OSX or any other Apple "words":). Searches on the google about books and online articles fetch a lot of results which is confusing. It would be great if anybody can share their beginner's experience. Thank You.
I've learn all about iPhone programming with this great book: Beginning iPhone 3 Development.
I found it surprisingly easy to pick up. The Apple dev center includes a lot of sample code, and because it's the programming language du jour, there's a lot of forum links and StackOverflow questions about it, as well as plenty of people looking to answer new questions.
It's pretty satisfying to do too, if you've never done mobile development before.
Get yourself a machine and download XCode, the supplied Apple IDE. It's a bit lamer than Eclipse right now, but the new version which is on the verge of release looks much better. Grab yourself access to the developer center (which is worth the investment) and build a simple App or two. Get to know Interface Builder first, because you may not have worked with things like this before.
There are some idiosyncracies in the syntax and whatnot, but you get used to it pretty fast. And then come here and ask more questions. :)
I just ran through this tutorial to get familiar with XCode and Interface Builder.
Then joining a local group about it should be helpful - I'm a member of the Iphone London Users Group and chats with other developers is the most useful tool I have to find out how to do things.
I knew C, Cpp, Java, Servlets, JSP and Objective C. Now, i want to do some web related application in iPhone. I have Mac system, XCode and all. Also i registered in developer.apple.com. My problem is, where can i start to learn about development?
So many documents are available in Apple's site. But in each document, they gave a lot of links for other documents and said "before reading this read this" I just hate it.
So please give me a clear way to learn about iPhone development. Tell some other better sites for easy learning about SDK codings if you know...
Thank you all...
Start at a hello world and work your way up. The best way is to just purchase a book on the subject.
This one looks pretty basic http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-iPhone-Development-Exploring-SDK/dp/1430224592/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281003097&sr=8-1
Apple documentation is wonderful.
Begin with Learning Objective-C: A Primer to familiarize with the language and then take a look at Your First iOS Application.
