spontaneous connection to IP-networks auto-recognition of provided services among members

Several frameworks/libraries for iPhone OS networking tasks

CoreFoundation Framework
create, read, update, or delete single URLs CFNetwork communication with HTTP or FTP servers, Bonjour service management, BSD sockets CFNetServices discovery or registration of network ressources (e.g. printers, file servers) BSD networking APIs low-Level networking functions not covered elsewhere

Security

Root access disabled Keychain Application Sandbox Secure network connections Certificates and identities Authentication mechanisms VPN support Remote wipe Enforced security and password policies

User Experience
Apple Vision:

Simple Intuitive = Easy User-centered Innovative Clean

+ For iPhone: - Wireless Entertainment Center

- Touch

Design Concept
With Touch:
Application 1 Enter Text BIGGER BUTTONS

Less Screenspace
BUTTON 2 BUTTON 3

Less Info

BUTTON 1

Usual UI (User Interface) wont work

Design Concept
New Concept of UI

Design for fingers, not just for eyes

As the early Nokia slogan says:

Touch Me
(Tap is king)

Design Concept
New UI: -Grid-like Home Screen -Each task an Icon -Virtually larger Home Screen with gestures -Dynamic screens, not static. -Tap to start application and use the phisical button to go back to home screen

Competition The Touch Generation

HTC Touch Diamond

Nokia 5800 Express Music

LG Cookie

And more...

The Mobile Entertainment Center

Safari iTunes Photos YouTube Mail Etc...

Gaming on iPhone

Accelerometer

Ex: Super Monkey Ball Touch

Ex: Smule Ocarina

Unity 3D

Future Possibilities

Recently: -Amazon App For iPhone -Announcement of iPhone OS 3.0: -Cut, Copy and Paste Function; -Send Photos, Contacts and much more functions; -Mail application in wide screen view. Future Vision: Wireless devices transfering files with a finger wipe

3. Software Development
3.1 Development Requirements

Languages

XML Objective c Basic C++

3. Software Development
3.1 Development Requirements

Licensing

Developer license Standard Program $99 Enterprise Program $299

3. Software Development
3.1 Development Requirements

Software

iPhone SDK + iPhone Simulator XCode Other languages? -> Cross Compilers

3. Software Development
3.2 IDE and Tools

The iPhones SDK :

Development of application for iPhone Access the iPhone Dev Center to gain resources

3. Software Development

The iPhones SDK :

Xcode iPhone Simulator Instruments Interface Builder

3. Software Development

Xcode :

Carbon : C & C++ Cocoa : Objective-C, AppleScript, Java

3. Software Development

iPhone Simulator :

Test your application Include a complete and conformant implementation of OpenGL ES 1.1

3. Software Development

Maximum of two fingers. Accelerometer. OpenGL ES.

3. Software Development

Instruments :

Includes an OpenGL ES instrument. Know how your application uses resources such as the CPU, memory, file system.

3. Software Development

Interface Builder :

Graphical development environment. Includes a .xib file that contains Interface Builder definitions where graphical objects are placed.

3. Software Development
3.3 Programming Obectif-C

+ - implemented by B.J. Cox in 1980s

- based on C language and Smalltalk - programming in iPhone based on OOP and MVC

3. Software Development

OOP in Objective-C
Programming syntax

Data types & expressions Operators Branching, conditions and loops Preprocessors
Object and classes

@interface @implementation Member declaration Method declaration Calling method

3. Software Development

@interface
The @interface section has the general format: @interface ClassName: ParentClassName { //Member declarations; } // Method declarations; @end Member declaration : (Directive) (Data type) (Variable name) Method declaration : (method type) (return type) (method name) (:) (Argument type) (Argument name) ;

3. Software Development

@implementation
The @implementation has the following format: @implementation ClassName; // method definition @end Apply methods to classes or instances: [ClassOrInstance method name]; // for non argument [ClassOrInstance (method name): arguments]; // for one arguments Multiple arguments:
(Method type) (Return type) (Method name) (:) (Argument type) (Argument name) (Some name) (:) (Argument type) (Argument name);

Calling: [ClassOrInstance (method name): argument

1 (some name): argument2;]

3. Software Development

Example
#import <stdio.h> #import <objc/Object.h> //------- @interface section ------@interface SomeClass: Object { int number; } -(void) print; -(void) setNumerator: (int) n; @end

3. Software Development

Example
//------- @implementation section ------@implementation SomeClass; -(void) print { printf (" %i ", number); } -(void) setNumber: (int) n{ numerator = n; } @end

3. Software Development

Example
//------- program section ------int main (int argc, char *argv[]){ SomeClass *exClass = [[SomeClass alloc] init]; //SomeClass *exClass = [SomeClass new] [exClass setNumber: 1];// call setNumber with arg =1 printf ("The number is:"); [exClass print]; [exClass free]; // Free memory return 0; }

3. Software Development

Foundation framework
Offer basic objects, collection of objects Automemory management:

NSAutoreleasePool Auto keeps track of object Keeps number of reference to objects

4. Overall Evaluation
4.1 Advantages

4 abstract layers : safety for developer. Superior User Interface / experience. Easy applications store. Special Features : Visual voicemail. Touch interaction. Big storage capacity. Real-time GPS

4. Overall Evaluation
4.2 Limitations

2 devices run the OS Battery is not removable Special features must be supported by provider High price (for unlocked version)

4. Overall Evaluation
4.3 Conclusions

Usabilty is very high Hype iPhone is a good platform to create applications which can be great.
