iPhone Apps Development and iPhone Game Development With New SDK and iOS

It's time to talk about iOS5 and also Apple's new SDK for iPhone Apps Development and iPhone Game Development. If you are new then a little introduction of me will do some good. I work as developer in well-known Mobile application and game development company Morpheous. I try to share the experience I get and understanding I have in iPhone App Development and iPhone Game Development fields and also same for iPad and Android Development. In this article I will provide information on the experience I had for apps development for iOS 5 using the latest SDK.

When Apple launched new iOS 5 and also the related device that is iPhone 4S, we as developer community were very excited and wished that there would be many things which Apple might unlock for us for iPhone Application Development and iPhone Game Development, but changes were not that big. Though the development platform is far better then what we have used to develop apps for iPhone 3G and is much faster in the response time also. Considering the fact that Apple's SDK is one of the best mobile app developments SDK available in the market and with some really useful tools like memory leakage check and battery usage check etc. These are more tweaked, but we did face problem with connecting an iOS 4 device to that facility and check the leakage during iPhone Game Development.

There are some changes in the component section of the Xcode and good news for developers. As said the changes are not that big to discuss each of them, but they do add into the list for iPhone Apps Development. If we talk about iPhone Game Development, we are very disappointed as we thought, there might be something Apple will provide us to tackle maths and physics problems and we can play with some AI. But nothing much is added on that point. We still have to use third party APIs and also SDKs for the development of single player to multi player games. One thing which happened good to us is Apple made "Game Center". For iPhone Game Development it is like a blessing, where it has made easy to make multi player games and without the headache of setting up the servers for sake of sharing the results.

I hope the information is something good to read about. I know if you are developer, then most of the things which I said might be known to you, but expressing some experience won't hurt much, does it? Happy Programming!!!

iPhone 4 App Development: Top 5 Crazy, Wacky, And Weird Apps For Your iPhone 4

iPhone 4 is packed with marvelous features, and the combination of the iPhone 4 and the iOS 4 made it possible for an iPhone OS 4 developer to create incredible apps. This year, iPhone 4s application development has given us celebrated game apps like Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja; traveling apps like Kayak and Google Earth; entertainment apps like Kindle and NetFlix; social apps like Skype and Twitter; music apps like Pandora and SoundHound; and lifestyle apps like Mint and Lose It.

But while most programmers and companies focus on developing an app that fulfills some vital need, there is always some or other iPhone OS app developer who wants to make full use of use of all the advanced features of the new iPhone 4 and the iOS 4 to create apps that serve no real purpose. The result is an insane application that no one care about. Or, in rare case, a lucky iPhone OS 4 developer comes up with a crazy app that finds favor with millions of smartphone users. Lets take a look at five of the craziest, weirdest and wackiest results of iPhone application development 2011.

iVooDoo
You don't need to buy a doll to remotely wreck havoc upon your enemies: iVooDoo allows you to select between different types of doll and pins. Name the doll and stick pins in it!

Honey It's Me!
This app targets lonely men, and it can be argued that this app fulfills an important need - if what you need is a virtual girlfriend calling you up with sweet recorded messages. You will see the video of a Korean model who will ask you about your day, what you ate and other stuff. It is supposed to make you feel less lonely! Good luck.

Kiss Me
This is the perfect app for people who love their iPhones. Download this app and you have the best excuse for kissing your iPhone. Kiss the screen and the app will rate your kiss!

Hang Time
If you like to throw your expensive iPhone in the air and catch it, this app is for you. It has simple rules: you throw the app really high, and the app will record the 'hang time'. It uses the advanced accelerometer to find out how long your mobile hung in the air.

Hold The Button
This is perhaps the most boring 'game' app ever. One wonders whether the iPhone OS 4 developer who created this app is an idiot or a genius. All you are supposed to do is turn on the app and press your iPhone screen for a very long time. The time of your 'hold' will be registered and you can compare it the time registered by other online users!
