Given Apple’s history, this is likely to stay this way.

 Where to start?
  http://developer.apple.com/iphone/

  Download iPhone SDK, if you are a Registered iPhone Developer or enrolled
  in the iPhone Developer Program

  SDK includes :
     Xcode
     IPhone simulator
     Monitoring instruments
     Interface builder



• loading an application onto devices is only possible after paying a Apple
  Developer Connection membership fee of 99 $ (standard) or 299 $
  (enterprise)
               • => XCode demo : UDecide
Web apps



• http://www.apple.com/webapps/

  http://www.shockwise.com/iphone/draw.php

  Developers are free to set any price for their
  applications to be distributed through the App
  Store, of which they will receive a 70 percent
  share

• Developers can also opt to release the
  application for free and will not pay any costs
  to release or distribute the application
  beyond the membership fee
Web Apps

 Applications are downloaded directly to iPhone or iPod
 Touch

 App Store is also available within iTunes

 Applications are subject to approval by Apple, as
 outlined in the SDK agreement, for basic reliability
 testing and other analysis

 Applications may be rejected if they are of only "limited
 utility"

 Toolbars must be placed at the bottom of the screen,
 and the vibration function should only be used for
 alerts
How do we develop Apps for the iPhone?



 We can use Xcode / Objective C

  We can develop AJAX / Javascript applications that can be accessed
 through Safari

 We can use Java

  AlcheMo for iPhone
  Xmlvm
  We can install Java on an unlocked and Jailbroken iPhone
AJAX & JavaScript


 Demo based on http://www.benjoffe.com/code/demos/canvascape/
AlcheMo for iPhone



 http://www.innaworks.com/alcheMo-for-iPhone.html

 alcheMo for iPhone is capable of converting J2ME applications
 utilizing an extensive subset of Java ME CLDC 1.1
 (http://java.sun.com/products/cldc/) and MIDP 2.0 (including touch
 screen support) and supports several JSR extension APIs
 (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=198) including the JSR-256 mobile
 sensor API. Additional APIs support multi-touch and native iPhone
 look and feel. This automatic translation process is instantaneous,
 repeatable, and available 24/7 while requiring no iPhone specific
 experience.
(real) Java on the iPhone



 No official support

 It is however possible to run Java on the iPhone

 We have to pull some tricks, jailbreaking, installing...

 Apple has stated it will not design software updates specifically to
 break native applications other than applications that perform SIM
 unlocking
IPhone in Finder


•   Install AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) on your iPhone
•   Get your iPhone's IP address
•   Connect to server from MacOSX Finder
•   afp://ip-address-of-your-iphone
•   User : 'root' / pwd : 'alpine'
Cydia

 Cydia is a package manager for installing unofficial
 3rd-party applications on the iPhone
 Among other things, this allows iPhone users to
 bypass Apple's restrictions on certain kinds of
 applications, such as launchers, custom wallpapers
 (themes) and battery status apps
 The applications are downloaded directly to iPhone
 or iPod Touch and are located in the /Applications/
 directory , in the same place where 'Apple' native
 applications are located. App Store applications are
 located in /var/mobile/Applications/
 Cydia is a front end/graphical interface for a port of
 APT created by Jay Freeman
 Cydia allows users to add custom sources, so
 people can choose where to download software
 from
Installer


 Installer is another package installer,
 created and maintained by the Russian
 Rip-Dev company alongside other tools.
 The former maintainer of Installer, on pre
 2.0 firmwares, was Nullriver, Inc.
(real) Java on the iPhone


Run Cydia Installer, go to Java section and select iPhone/Java which will
install the virtual machine, libraries etc. Then install Jikes (java compiler).
Also, install Terminal. Now restart iPhone.

You can upload Java files to iPhone using iPhone Browser => demo

Run Terminal (installed above) and use java (jikes) compiler to compile your
program. For example:
jikes -cp /usr/lib/rt.jar MyFirstJavaProgramForIPhone.java

You can run the class file as usual:
java MyFirstJavaProgramForIPhone
End (for now)
