Xcode Compile Stops at MainWindow.xib?

And Interface Builder starts up in the background but then stops responding? Have you recently changed your OS? Bought a nice, refurb iMac running Snow Leopard and transferred Xcode from an older machine running Leopard?

Me too.

It took me a long time to find the answer.

You need to get the iPhone SDK for Snow Leopard. Oh, and incidentally, there is a hint on the Apple Developer site (behind the login) because there are "Snow Leopard Downloads". Obviously I don't log in there every day, either.

Our First iPhone Application -- Been There -- is Almost Done

Been There, which is something like a geographic discussion board allowing users to share their favorite locations with comments and rankings, is almost done.

The whole process has been a ... learning process. I was managing the project's outsourcing team as well as my own labor on the Web service that drives the app. There are many things I would have done differently, which will probably constitute a separate post, but all in all, I've been happy with the progress.

Now we'll see if anyone will buy the app!

Been There Developer Selected

I have selected a winning bidder for the location aware application I'm calling Been There. It was a tough decision as there were lots of good bids and developers. It was also interesting to be the customer for once!

Been There

After much deliberation, my wife and I have decided to pursue the creation of a location aware iPhone application called "Been There". It will be something like a geographic discussion board where users can take photos, add notes and share locations with contacts from the address book.

As I am extremely busy with other projects and not yet well-versed in Objective-C, we will be outsourcing the job. Although I have been on guru.com as a freelancer for some time, I have also decided to try out elance.com to solicit the bids.

iPhone Here We Come

We have been looking at the various possibilities for shrink-wrapped software development and have decided that iPhone development is where it's at. We've come up with a list of more than 50 app ideas. Where to start?
