Not totally clear what you want to do. If you want to create a native iPhone app you MUST use the SDK. You can sort of get around it using something like PhoneGap which lets you write with HTML/CSS/Javascript but it still embeds it into the SDK. I would suspect it would be hard, if not impossible to create a video chat app using PhoneGap, I think you'll need (and want) access to the full SDK.
If you want to create a web-app, (accessible via browsers) then you can do what you like and use a toolkit such as iUi or jQTouch or not. Finally, the iPhone SDK does not, and probably never will support Flash. (I guess you've been living under a rock or something... ;) As a developer, I'd say spend your energy on your app and ideas and worry less about IP. Good ideas are hard to find, good implementation less so. On Jul 27, 11:39 pm, old cuz <[email protected]> wrote: > Forget all comments regarding distribution.

I'm assuming SDK allows for Flash programming? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
