I created my first iPhone application recently. It’s been an interesting road.
It’s a small app for browsing the chat threads of a specific community, Shacknews.com, which is a gaming news site with a following of interesting people that like to play games.
Memory management, and cryptic stack traces continue to be the biggest issues for me in this whole Objective-C venture. That, and the app store approval process is incredibly frustrating. Updates seem to be taking AT LEAST a week to be approved, which really sucks when you need to fix a critical bug. And recently, I got denied because a new feature in the update didn’t work. Turns out, this was because of a temporary failure in the website that feature connects to that happened to coincide with when they were doing the testing. That was all fixed pretty quickly, but my app is still rejected, and I imagine it will take at least a week for them to respond to my email.
Come on Apple, I know you can do better than this.

Next up, I’m gonna try to learn some OpenGL and see if I can muster some cool game or something.
