[QUOTE="xstep, post: 968052, member: 11647"] Developing for iPhone requires Mac OS X. Some third party development tools have appeared this year, but [I]I think[/I] they too would require a Mac. To learn Objective-C, the GNU stuff would be a fine starting place for the basics. [URL="http://www.gnustep.org/"]GNUstep[/URL] may get you a little further. [URL="http://www.gnustep.org/Presentations/GNUstep-Presentation-NYCBUG-2.ppt.html"]Here[/URL] is a presentation on that. Really though, it is best to get a copy of Mac OS X, versions 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.6 (Snow Leopard), join the [URL="http://developer.apple.com/"]iPhone developer site[/URL] on Apple for free to download the latest developer tools and play with them and the iPhone simulator. To test your apps on devices and to distribute your apps will require a $100 developer fee that is good for a year. Although [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-darwin-development/179048-getting-my-feet-wet-do-i-need-proper-mac-develop-iphone-apps.html"]others[/URL] have loaded OS X on non-Mac hardware, Apple does not license it that way and does not condone it.
