build an iPhone app (read all 11 entries…)
I built (or rather transcribed) my first working app! 11 months ago

Yesterday, I followed the tutorial on the iPhone developer website and was able to get my first working app. Of course, I had to pretty much copy verbatim the entire thing, and made a few typos that sent me on a wild goose chase, but it’s a start.

And last night, I had a cyclic dream where I kept trying to do the same thing over and over for a particular app. My brain is officially latched on.

Also, every 3.8 seconds, I get a new idea for an app:

  • A way to send a phone number from your address book to another person’s (I’m upset that this isn’t default functionality yet, and surprised nobody else has done it).
  • Friend flip book. Use the iTunes cover flow to flip through your contacts who have pictures associated with them. Use the back of the card to show more detail.
  • Coin flipper. Advice slot machine.

To name a few.

Today I’m looking into how to work with the Address Book Framework, starting with the Address Book Programming Guide for iPhone.
