I want to develop some small apps for personal use. I don't want to market them, nor I want anyone other but me to have them. As a developer, I want to be able to put some minor utility app I'd like to have on my own smartphone (an iPhone, of course).
As I'm not going to develop anything commercial in the near future, I'm not going to subscribe the developer program. Is it possible to develop personal apps without subscribing to Apple's program? Would jailbreak help? Am I going to miss any possibility in the development (ability to subscribe to servers, message, use the maps...)
Thanks
there's a number of threads of this.. they all use ldid and are normally jailbroken
How can I deploy an iPhone application from Xcode to a real iPhone device?
Attempting to deploy my app on my jailbroken iphone, but the app closes immediately!

Can anyone tell me how apple handle submissions for bluetooth BLE enabled app. Actually, i have created a bluetooth iphone app which connects to third party device. And, I am not sure how apple is testing apps which connects to third party devices.
Object Lab has recently launched their first iOS app using iBeacon. It took them 3 attempts to get it approved. I would recommend you to create a video which demonstrates how your app works and send it to them.
Generally they ask for hardware as well but mostly it's not feasible for us to provide them with one. Object Lab had to send them instructions to setup hardware at their end and to test the app. THEY WILL NOT APPROVE UNLESS THEY KNOW ITS WORKING. So I would recommend to send a video and step by step instruction of how to setup hardware at their end to test it out.
My experience has been that a video demonstrating the use of the app while connected to your third party device is enough. Sending the device to them is not necessary (at least for all cases). I know there is another thread on stackoverflow.com concerning this very thing, but it's been months since I had found it and I can't find it now. Anyways, it has worked for me as well as acquaintances of mine who have an app on the store.
I'd like the app to advertise a service even when the app enters the background. With Core Bluetooth, this is possible by setting bluetooth-peripheral for UIBackgroundModes.
Does anyone know if the same can be achieved with MCNearbyServiceAdvertiser? Thanks.
When I was at WWDC this year I went to a Developer Lab for Multipeer Connectivity and was told by an Apple engineer that no, service advertisers and browsers will not work in the background.
That said, I've been successfully communicating with connected peers with an app running in the background using a background task, but I have not been able to advertise or browse.
I realize it's been asked countless times whether iPhone apps can be built in Windows and that the simple answer is no, with workarounds such as using VM or even something like Dragon SDK which requires the app to be written in C/C++, but I would like to build an app using Objective C.
My question is can the code for an iPhone app not be developed on a Windows computer, uploaded to a remote Mac computer, compiled on the Mac, and then downloaded back to Windows to install via iTunes? I don't want to buy a Mac mini to get my feet wet with iPhone development, but I don't want to be limited to writing an HTML 5 app using Phone Gap or similar.
If nothing else, wouldn't it be possible to develop the app directly on a remote / virtual Mac using a remote desktop connection?
If either of these are possible, does anyone know of a company offering such a service? If not, what would be a likely reason that it hasn't been created? It seems like there would be enormous demand.
Perhaps http://www.macincloud.com/ is what you are looking for.
I believe what you're trying to do is not possible but how about MonoTouch ?

Using .NET on Windows technologies to develop iPhone and other apps ?
at first i thought with Titanium, i can develop for Mobile and Desktop over AIR on Desktop only, but a quick look at the AIR Site, i guess i am wrong.
Benefit from a consistent, flexible,
and visual development environment for
applications on multiple platforms and
devices such as smartphones,
smartbooks, tablets, netbooks, and
PCs.
so my question is are there any major differences of titanium over air that i shld be aware of?
if no, i guess now air maybe better documented and has the backing of a more recognized company? after working with titanium desktop for a while i felt abit helpless and the docs are not really helping much
There are a lot of subtle differences, of course, and there are advantages and disadvantages to working in either, but the largest difference is that Titanium can produce apps for the iPhone/iPad, and AIR can't (well, at least not conveniently).
AIR can produce iPhone apps that you can deploy using the ad-hoc provisioning, but you can't distribute via the app store.
I've got desktop apps on both and am making a mobile app right now. Titanium desktop will cut your dev time to 1/3 of the time you'll take jumping through AIRs various sandboxes and security measures. Best yet, the code I wrote for my Ti desktop app is all javascript with about 3 Ti API calls and can be taken anywhere. The AIR app is all mangled by the wild structure you have to use with AIR apps and 1 million api calls.
The downside to Ti desktop is the API isn't as fully featured, and the Ti team pushes 4 times as many updates for the mobile API as the desktop API. Also, you won't be able to port your app from desktop to mobile easily as they are two different structures and APIs.
That said, developing for iPhone and Android on Ti is the same exact process and that won't happen on AIR.
Lots to weigh, but for my money it's Ti over AIR.
Hope this helps.
Anyone knows how to trigger a Symbian C++ application using any J2ME API call? I have a J2ME application that needs a customized photo taking application in Symbian C++. The reason for separating into two applications is because J2ME has a limit in heap size and the J2ME needs to know the path of photo after taking it.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Kenny
Take a look at APIBridge on Forum Nokia: http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/d697a64f-ddae-4937-8151-be157b542d26/ApiBridge.html
Designed specifically for MIDP apps to access services provided in the Symbian C++ environment.
I don't think there is an API for doing that. One thing you could try is to have your two applications communicate over a socket interface. For example the Symbian application could set up a socket server at localhost and the J2ME application would connect to it. I am not sure that this is possible in a phone's environment however. It could also have other implications as well, such as having to sign your applications.
