How to create an application on iPhone without Mac OS X and SDK?



    I always wanted to try myself in such a thing as writing applications for the iPhone. For starters, it was as simple as “Hello world!”, But it was written with your own hands. Moreover, the iPhone OS platform has become very popular, and most developers prefer it. But as they say - my desires do not coincide with my capabilities. The SDK is available only for poppies, and I don’t have the opportunity to buy a poppy - dear. But on the Internet, by chance, I learned about one service about which I will discuss further.



    The service is called AppMark. Convenient and easy to use (true in English), which allows you to directly write a small application without leaving your browser.

    How to work?


    To create a mini-application, go to the main site - everything will happen here.

    Let's create an application that allows you to read the latest news from the Habrahabr site.
    1) Enter the site address in the input line. Click Go.

    2) The system will carry out preliminary settings.

    3) In principle, everything! An iPhone will appear on the side where you can test the program. Just click on the icon!

    Here's what the application launch looks like:

    Want more? You can register on the site (for free), and completely change the interface: add a logo at startup, an icon. You can also make several ribbons and add them to the bottom panel in the form of icons (which you can also select). If you want to advertise something in the application, you can add advertising.

    What are the advantages?


    • You can create an application without a poppy and developer SDK. I went in, made it - it's done.


    Any cons?


    • Yes. If you want to publish it on the App Store. then you need to buy a license, which costs a lot - $ 199. Given that the SDK license costs $ 99, this is a big difference. But those who already have a license for the SDK can specify it in the settings.

    Update: moved to a collective blog.
    I also learned that there are still interesting services. Сomboapp and Dragonfiresdk . The first tried - not bad
