Hi XCool.

I think most of devs are quiet in here because we are essentially competitors. LOL!.

We cant talk about app ideas in here, surely someone will steal it. So what to talk about then?

w3t3nnu3ndo,

Not much really. Nowadays the app store is so crowded that it takes so much work just to market it. Even if you got real good app, without marketing, u'd prbably getting 0-1 sales per day, unless it is free.

Hey, AFAIK, this UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities means zilch for the app. I tried it before, it doesnt do anything for some reason. One of my apps is using the accelerometer, and had that included. When submitted, it says binary error.

My guess is that the iTunesconnect now auto selects the device for you depending on what classes/api you use. (speculating at that, not sure).

Just make sure you handle the absent of mic in your app, then you should be ok.

Woah.. you write all the codes in XML?? Even the nibs? Hm.. probably for microphone it works. For Accelerometer, it does not.. for some reason keep on saying binary error. I omitted it, and it just works fine anyways. lol.

That is how i started last year. Took about few days to familiarize with xcode. Then in 1 month,
my first app was out already.

And i don't think anyone wants to 'hire' someone who do not know how to code, even if it is for free.
It just makes developing apps harder and slower. What you are asking is not you work for them for free,
its more like you want them to teach/train you for free. So that is not going to happen i think.

Give it a try learning by yourself (buy books or from internet). Or pay someone to teach you.

boonboon, you registered as Sdn Bhd? Wow man... that is pretty expensive to be in.
Why not Enterprise instead?

I am still running solo though. Prefer to be under the radar if you catch my drift.

Google is your best friend.

Start to learn with those "Hello World" tutorials.

That's how I got started.

The best is probably buy a book with a follow thru examples.

Hey Soo yew guan, that's nice game. What do you use to create it? opengl? or cocos2d?
good luck man. i have one game too.. but it sucks.. haha thinking to do a major update though..

sooyewguan,
I see. I haven't used any game engine so far. I wrote the game from scratch. I went to cocos2d website before, but suddenly lazy to read haha.. but quite interested to try it.

qawyhamz,
that is pretty much true. Games category is hard to compete. Because there are so many big developer who sells their game at 1.99 or 99cents. Such as Gameloft, EA, etc. And looking at their games, are mostly 3D and very polished graphics and gameplay. They can do it, because they have plenty of resources/expertise/manpower. Individual developer like us, struggles... fyi, my first game is making 0 nowadays for many2 months already.

BUT (here comes the big but), there are cases where smalltime developer make it big, like those 2 brothers who created Doodle Jump game.. making $3mil+ up to now.. so selling games its like gambling really.. haha.. if u lucky, u get the jackpot!

sooyewguan, for some reason, im unable to open your website. cant see the spoiler either..

ken wickedboy, are u an indie individual developer or are you consist of many developers?

Great. I am an indie too. I'd like to ask do you register your company with SSM?
Care to share about the process to register if you did it? I am still assigned to an individual
developer account with iTunes.

I see. thanks.

Yeah, for iPad app u need to support for all orientation (including upside down). Be sure to read the HIG for iPad thoroughly.
Good luck.

Hey guys, dont spam this thread with job adverts.

Anyway, most of us iPhone developers just do it part time.. so we don't really like to work for somebody else. I mean,
we create apps, and we get all the income, as opposed to, we create for u, u give us few ks.. and that's it? Seriously this
is why the reason most iPhone devs just do it alone, or with close friends.
