Numberzz Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 As planned, the iPhone SDK was released today, along with a promise about a new 2.0 update to the iPhone software. There are a lot of new features that are actually planned for this new 2.0 update. First of all, there are a host of new enterprise features that companies will love. Secondly, we will get a AppStore, where you will be able to buy and download applications that Apple makes available. It kind of looks like installer doesn't it? Unexpectedly, Apple also demoed a few apps that it and 3rd party developers wrote. Most of these were games, which looked fun I might add. They also said that many apps can be easily created in "under 10,000" lines of code. Now I know you must be saying "Boy gee, I've written papers longer than that." Good for you, but that is very short for an application. Currently, you can download the SDK for free, although the site is acting slow and my download isn't done yet (damn you 1.5MB/s download speed!). You can also apply for a shot at the beta 2.0 software. If luck is on my side tomorrow, my step-father's company will get a copy and I will have a 2.0 iPhone.

They are probably trying to make sure there's a few good apps out there on "release" date. I'm certain that the big-name software companies already have it; it's probably going to be June when normal inde-developers and the community get it. do you think firmware 2.0 would be anywhere on the torrents anytime soon? I'm sure it will be, but why would you risk your phone with a beta firmware? Hi lord Where did you read about a phone simulator? It was in the Engadget coverage: a copy of the iPhone software running in a virtual environment that interacted closely with the IDE for software testing and debugging.

Colonel Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Oohh.. creating iPhone apps on my Celeron D running Leopard.. this should be fun.. Its kinda lame how you can write iPhone apps with the SDK, but you can't even run them on the device unless you pay apple and sign up for the enterprise thing or wait until June. I wonder if you could write your app with the SDK in Xcode, then copy it over to your jailbroken iPhone.

stroke Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Right now this SDK is basically the existing toolchain, sans the simulator. It's not that much different, mainly because you still need to programmatically allocate controls because of the lack of Interface Builder (right now, at least).

Pooshka Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm sure it will be, but why would you risk your phone with a beta firmware? there's always a restore option besides, the 2.0 firmware is as risky as leopard betas, which i've never had a problem with Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92151-iphone-sdk-released/#findComment-658611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjohnstone Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The iPhone simulator (Aspen) runs 1.2 firmware, not 2.0. The iPhone interface elements are not available in the Interface Builder just yet. That will come with the final SDK release. As for the 2.0 firmware hitting the wild... I doubt it. Only corporations get to have that one and it has one helluva NDA attached to it.

Overdriven Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 PPC Users: Let's not get sad. I just got it to successfully compile an app in Xcode, and run it on the Aspen Simulator. (To get this all to work, install the right parts using Pacifist or whatever you prefer.)

stroke Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 There's probably some sort of check with SDK-built applications for the runtime environment; so it probably requires 2.0. Of course, you could try modifying SystemVersion.plist and seeing if that changes anything.
