Can anyone recommend a program, book, or course that will help me understand the process for getting an iPhone app developed and released? I don't mean how to program, I just mean the overall process, tips, etc.

Thanks!

  • Check out the Clickbank market place under "mobile". There are several very good ones available.
  • check out Pat Flynn's SmartPassiveIncome blog, he's got some info there.
  • As an Apple Developer and app developer I want to give you some free advice, I have seen most of the "guides" out there for ipad and iphone development, and they are TRASH, GARBAGE< junk.

    Do not waste you money on them.

    For the most part they take advantage of the desire of people to create ipad or iphone apps but sadly it is not as easy as they suggest, in one of these guides, they actually had very little real information in them at all.

    You can learn more using Google as a search engine than you will learn from one of these make money with ipad app Guru Gargabe ebooks,

    So forget click bank there is nothing on there that will help you.

    If you really want to get a good idea of the development environment, visit the apple developer forums and have a look around, you can learn more from there in a single day than you will ever learn from those junk ebook courses that do not work.

    (yes, I hate products that intend to rip people off)

    Just a pet peeve for me, but take my word for it, all the stuff on clickbank is junk as far as iphone and ipad courses or guides, none of them are accurate nor do they reflect any actual insight into the market, which is key if you really want to do well.

    If you really want to learn about this topic,

  • Hello,
    Nowadays, the demand of custom iPad application is accrued drastically, however, at the same time it has also held the competition among many iPad application development companies.
    Thanks
  • Hi Blondi
    You can go the route that Tim Franklin advises. But only if you have a lot time to study on your side. If you have some background in C++ or something like that, you can come up with a small app in 12 - 24 month.
    Go with that if you are the hardcore type of person who likes to use Notepad for writing letters.

    If you want to come up with something real quick you can try http://com-pad.com/ipadapps/ for the start.

    I read a lot of great testimonials. Maybe that suits your needs.

    Good luck with that.

  • Actually you can use Apple website to get content on app development.Its free,you just need to register with them.Once you do that you get access to all the learning material.However,if you need a book by your side,the book by Aaron Hillegaas is the best one.He is a well respected trainer and its a very good book.Further you can use forums like macrumors for technical clarifications.I see a lot of potential for the MAc/iphone/ipad apps in the next 3-5 years.Dont start unless you enjoy computer programming,it needs a good amount of effort to get going.

  • There is no easy road to making money that's for sure!
    Some very valuable advice here. It all depends on what you want
    Bottom line..... do proper research before committing your energy and hard earned money. Most Importantly, follow your guts! Take my word for it....

    • Anyone interested in making custom iphone apps for marketing purposes - not fancy games or poking anyone? Punch Chris Brown and PM me if interested in working, creating, growing, etc . .

      NOTE:
      Money is a result so your questions should center around when can I start working so I can produce better than usual results that people will pay for . . . NOT how much money will I make? . . .Or, When Do I get paid? I don't know. I'm not you or your boss.

      BTW- This has NOTHING to do with any affiliate program or the iphone app in my signature and I'm NOT selling anything either.
  • Check lynda.com for this subject. I like their tutorials - they all high quality.
    Buy a month worth of subscription for 25 bucks and immerse yourself. Well worth.

    • You're right, she's been around forever doing the same thing until she suddenly became known as the "best in the World" for her tutorials and now in everything she does.

      Become an expert in one thing and you're an expert in everything. Do one thing bad and you do everything bad.

      The State of the New Freeconomy has reduced prices down to $25 bucks from $100's and that means becoming an expert now is pretty cheap.

    • You might want to think about developing web apps for the iPhone. They have the advantage of being a lot easier & quicker to develop - essentially just html, css and javascript - but they'll allow you to quickly get a feel of what works on a smaller (touch) screen and what doesn't. And you can do a lot now with html 5.

      Of they're not as glamorous as native apps - and you can't access all the features on the iPhone OS via the web - but you can create some pretty cool stuff. Apple has a directory of web apps on their site: apple dot com / webapps (can't make that a link because I'm new...)

  • Hi Rich

    Don't know if its too late, but check out my new WSO on that very subject:

    Good luck,

  • Also do not disregard a responsive HTML5/CSS3 web-theme as this might solve your problem better, especially if you are targeting multiple different devies. If you're making an app to get published via the app store, you can do it natively (with objective c) or use something like PhoneGap, Titanium, Corona to do it for you -- thanks
