Creating an iOS Native App On Windows



As Homer Simpson says ... "DOH!" If you've ever thought - "gee, I'd love to create an iPhone/iPad app but I've only got a Microsoft Windows machine", I've got great news for you.

In appMobi - every app is really a small web site (we call them "app sites"). These app sites can be created in any traditional HTML editor - from Notepad++ to Visual Studio. In fact, you can run your favorite HTML editor on any kind of PC (Windows, Linux, Mac - whatever ...) because, to test it and build it you'll be uploading it into appMobi's cloud based development system. So, the process basically looks like:  create the app site, upload it to your free appMobi app account, download the required info from your Apple Developer account (signing certificates), upload the certificates to us, press the appMobi "build" button inside your dashboard, and presto - iOS4 app! Even better - you can simultaneously output your app for Google Android as well. 

I'd would have loved to make this post longer but it's really that simple with appMobi. As far as I know - it's the only way to create an Apple iOS app on Windows. Enjoy!
