Although Apple CEO Steve Jobs said, during his SDK introduction presentation, that the iPhone App Store would work over both WiFi and cellular networks, a new screenshot of the store (running on iPhone OS 1.2, currently in beta and unreleased to the public) from Boy Genius Report apparently reveals that a WiFi connection is, at […]

Apple’s iPhone SDK has been available for just under three weeks, and already independent developers are creating some innovative concepts that run in the iPhone Emulator and (for those who have been accepted into the developer program) OS 1.2 devices. We’d love to see yours. Drop us a line at info@iphoneatlas.com with some screenshots.

Jonathan Zdziarski has made available the first publicly available application for iPhone OS 1.2, a port of his popular NES emulator. The application, for which source code is available, can be built in Xcode and run on iPhone 1.2 devices. Currently iPhone OS 1.2 is only in the hands of developers accepted to Apple’s iPhone […]

With coders now being accepted into Apple’s iPhone Developer program and receiving the OS 1.2 beta software, we’re learning a lot — and it’s not all pretty.

As previously reported, Apple’s documentation states: “Once you install the pre-release iPhone OS on your device, such device may only be used for development and testing purposes until the […]

In August 2007, we first reported on an issue where certain spots on the iPhone’s MultiTouch screen — particularly a strip about 1/2 inch in height somewhere below the top of the screen — will not accept input. Hope held that this issue was restricted to a bad run of touchscreens and slowly disappear. Unfortunately, […]

Google has pushed out a new release of its GData Objective-C Client Library that adds support for the Google Contacts Data API and YouTube API.

iPhone Atlas launched roughly 8 months ago, and since then has experienced tremendous growth, capturing more than 400,000 unique visitors and 1.3 million page views monthly. Instrumental in our success has been an avid reader base that provides hands-on insight regarding new platform developments and software releases. As such, we’re looking to that same […]

Developer Ashutosh Chaturvedi is one of the few coders who has actually been accepted into Apple’s $99 iPhone Developer program. The program allows access to pre-release iPhone software (including the OS 2.0 beta); technical support; the ability to get code onto iPhones for testing; and distribution of applications via the new App Store.

Ashutosh posted a […]

Adobe planning Flash for iPhone

Despite Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ assertion that Adobe Flash “won’t be coming to the iPhone anytime soon” and a series of technical hurdles to implementation, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen told investors Adobe will develop Flash for the iPhone now that an official SDK (software development kit) is available.

Computerworld quotes Narayen: “We […]

Apple has sent another mass mailing to coders who applied for the iPhone Developer program, stating:

“Thank you for applying to the iPhone Developer Program. We have many more requests than we can serve during this initial beta period, so we must limit the Program at this time. We plan to expand it during the beta period, […]
