What are the steps to become an iPhone developer

The very first step to become an iPhone application developer you buy or have a Mac as without it it will not be easy to code apps for iPhone. It is not necessary you only own the top model, but you can buy anyone in your range. Any Mac which is capable of affording maneuverability for developer will suit. If yours is the tight budget, buying Mac Minis is good choice. It is portable and can be taken anywhere. The next step is to own the SDK (software development kit) for coding iOS apps. Apple provides SDK that developers can use in the iPhone app development process. The SDK includes stuffs like Xcode and simulator that are required in testing of tapp. Other things include performance analyzers, template interface builders and reference library. There are also plenty of documentations with the SDK. Third thing you will need to become an iPhone developer is you learn Objective C. As an extension of C with OOP principles, Objective C is the primary programming language to code apps for iPhone and other iOS devices. If you already have some programming experience, learning Objective C is going to be quite easy.

After that comes the starting out with development. It is the fourth step. Make the project plan and start coding the application with using objective C. If you are already a Java programmer, you can adjust and practice your programming skills to get the project done. You can also easily make several types of modification if you have already concluded a project. The SDK has a number of sample projects which can be used in the development of iPhone apps. You can start with these sample projects and just reveres engineer them to make your own apps. Also new features and functions can also be added to create new apps.

The fifth step is to become a real developer by signing up to iPhone Developer site at $99. With signing up to this, you agree all the terms and conditions of Apple for iPhone application development. It depends on the time you have to contribute to your project or the type of application you want to build but, an iPhone application development project aimed at game may take about two months to get done.

Once you complete the project, it’s time to submit it to iTunes and wait for approval. Apple general takes 1-2 weeks in approving application for iPhone and other iOS powered devices.
