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.

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, […]

Just days after a copy of iPhone OS 1.2 (code-named Aspen) leaked last week, developers have made it possible to run unofficial third-party applications under the new OS version. iPhone OS 1.2 is emulated by the iPhone Simulator included with Apple’s SDK, is required to run official SDK applications and also includes the new enterprise […]

We’ve received word from a number of hopeful iPhone developers indicating that they are being rejected by Apple for inclusion in the $99 iPhone Developer program. The rejection letter looks like this:

“Dear Registered iPhone Developer,

“Thank you for expressing interest in the iPhone Developer Program. We have received your enrollment request. At this time, the iPhone […]

Expressed limitations for Apple’s iPhone Software Development Kit — including the inability to run third-party applications in the background, inability to access the calendar, telephony and other functions and most importantly lack of access to specific frameworks that are used by “jailbreak” applications and Apple’s own applications — are artificially imposed and can be circumvented, […]

Though Apple states that the iPhone software development kit requires an “Intel processor-based Mac running Mac OS X Leopard,” developers have found that — with a little leg-work — the SDK also runs on PowerPC-based Macs.

By default, the iPhone SDK package available free from Apple’s site will run on a PowerPC-based Mac but omit the […]

While Apple’s software development kit for the iPhone has been lauded by a host of major software companies that were trotted out during Steve Jobs’ introduction as well as a number of independent developers hoping to strike an early bounty through the “App Store,” some open-source developers are panning Apple’s restrictions and voided functionality and […]

It appears that Web-apps can be stored locally under the forthcoming iPhone OS 2.0. The new OS iteration will include support for the client-side database API, which is part of the HTML 5 spec. Apple says this functionality goes “well-beyond cookies” and has robust support for offline data usage.

Apple says that properly designed with the […]

The iPhone SDK (software development kit) made available yesterday includes a new version of Dashcode (v. 2.0 Beta [126]) that allows creation of Web apps for the iPhone. When you click run, these Web apps launch in the Aspen Simulator. The tool also has support for bundling home icon images into the deployed Web app.

Preset […]

We’ve obtained our first screenshots of the iPhone SDK from Nicholas “Drudge” Penree, a venerated iPhone developer instrumental in a number of the previously published “jailbreak” procedures.
