Iphone Dev Abandoned

I tried i honestly did but enough is enough but i give up on the iPhone apple have just locked it all down far to much to make it even worth my time and effort.

This also isn’t coming from the fact I can’t stand macs I actually have several valid reasons.

first is a major reason.

Xcode

This is the only IDE you can use to develop applications for apple related products (there are ways round this but its not worth it). why is this IDE a problem? well its simple really notepad++ or psPad has more features than this “Superior IDE”

There are no feature, copy and paste it broken, search is crap, no auto complete, no way to edit the layout, no real debug features, no help, no api reference, no advanced settings for projects I could go on but i really don’t care.

looks at all those features… oh wait I can build… and emm open a file.

next is the complete lack of an application with a set window…

also the interface builder isn’t supported in leopard anymore so its really buggy! my version of the OS isn’t even 6 months old yet and they’ve dropped all support!

Apple

First its there terrible os that doesn’t work with none apple hardware I mean ok its hard to write code to support every form of keyboard and mouse but I dont know let me pick which button becomes my modifier key alt is not a modifier key!

also memory management, bad software, no paint! no easy way to take a screenshot. it spams my network with .dsStore files. incompatible with everything!

also apple documentation is a joke no real API reference its just them talking about the same facts over and over like oh guess what no multitasking is a great thing! you get to use all the iphone to yourself but u must manage your own states when the user closes the app because we dont give a shit.

ok rant over mac and ipod are going on ebay so lets never speak of this again.
