Program iPhone Applications in Windows?

Question

Is it possible? From what I have heard it is. I wouldn't mind just programming them in raw Objective-C. If someone could give a link to the UIKit frameworks and stuff. My iPod touch is jailbroken and I could use its frameworks, but then I couldn't utilize 3G, Camera, Phone. Please help!

Answer 1

the short answer will be NO.

However, it is possible to implement parts of your Iphone application on Windows. Start by installing GNUstep, after that you should be able to code in Objective-C.

Take as example a small two-dimensional game implementation, you can implement on your Windows machine 90% of the app (game AI, help functions etc.). If you use OpenGL ES for the graphical part you can code parts of it on Windows too.

You can find a concise introduction on how to start with Objective-C on Windows on this blog:
