I think I'll download and have a play with Titanium tomorrow. I'd prefer to code C# over Javascript but Titanium does seem to be very well regarded. Also, my partners in this venture don't really know C#, so I'd end up doing most of the boring bits.

Main Page - MonoTouch from Novell is pretty good if you want to stick with C-sharp. I started off using that but then decided to swap over to doing the app native via XCode in the end and am glad i did as quite enjoy using it now.
$299/year isn't really much in the grand scheme of things if you are rolling out to 200 devices.Last edited by Durbs; 23 November 2010, 19:08.Comment

I dunno though. .NET on an iPad seems like the wrong fit to me.
Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's right.
I think if the proposed app goes beyond demo stage I might consider the XCode Objective C route.
Yes. The $299 is somewhat incidental. However, the client would have to purchase as I don't have a Dun & Bradstreet number! Can you beleive it. It is a requirement of this program to have a DUNS number. Apple just love putting this kind of crap in your way.

I'm a .NET dev, mainly VB but didn't really find getting into Obj-C that difficult. Languages are all much of a muchness really so it was mainly learning the IDE that was the big step.Comment

Latest word from my collaborators is that it must be an iPad app and will only ever be an iPad app, from the prospect client's point of view.

I don't see why using .net on iPad is somehow 'wrong'. Mono is fairly well-established.
Anyhow, if they insist on iPad that might make it easier although do you definitely believe them? But learning a new technology isn't good for the "do it fast" route so a web-based approach certainly sounds preferable, you can make iOS-specific HTML apps too as a bit of an in-between approach, IIRC.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Not sure why you didn't use search as there an exact same thread a few weeks ago.
Anyway the routes are:
1. Enterprise program (costs $$$)
2. Webapp
3. Normal app with a login
No one's described 3 - for an example download google app - it's free on the app store, available to anyone, but useless without a google account
If your app is decent it should pass the store guidelines without any problems.Comment
