Michael,
Most of the time, you don't even have to do that. Objective-C++ files, with
the extension .mm, can more or less mix and match C++ and Objective-C code
at will, provided that any Objective-C
Hi Cara,
I think as far as myself is concerned I'm not so much apposed to
learning or using Objective C, but that I'd have to literally rewrite
all of my games etc from scratch to use it. Since I have software in
Python, some in C++, etc I don't like having to rewrite them in
Objective C just
and use
it as normal.

Hi Tom,
Your statement below seems like you're a bit confused. There's nothing stopping
you from developing with C++ on Apple platforms. In fact, you can even use
Objective-C++ which allows you to mix and match C++ and Objective-C at will,
giving you the best of both worlds if that is
the struct pointer to the class type and use it as normal.

Hi Liam,
Xcode is really a pretty nice IDE. It looks scary the first time you dive in,
no doubt…but once you really learn all the ins and outs, it is comfortable to
work in. Having used various versions of Visual Studio 6 through VS.net 2010, I
definitely prefer Xcode, but that's largely more
Hi Michael,
I don't doubt what you are saying, but I guess I'd have to see some
sample code. I don't know enough about Objective C to write a wrapper
around my existing code so would need a helper in order to port
certain games etc to iOS.
It still makes me slightly cranky I can't just take a
Hi Josh,
Well, I can say Visual Studio hasn't improved any since 2012 has come
out. If anything it is worse than ever, and Visual Studio Express 2012
is all but inaccessible to a screen reader. At least as far as NVDA is
concerned so I've been looking at alternatives too.
For example, for a
Hi Josh,
Point taken. Although, from what I've read iOS requires that the apps
have to be written in Objective C or an Objective C wrapper needs to
be written around existing C++ code to make it work. If I'm wrong
about that then OK, but I wasn't aware I could port a project written
in Python,
Hi Thomas, but Apple didn't. YOu can code for iOS in C++ natively as well.
XCode automatically sets up all the Objective C you'll need for the project
then with that you can certainly use C++ if you like, with really no effort at
all.
Am I understanding your note / point correctly?
You're not
Well, I should have waited to respond!
Thanks Josh, you and Michael certainly jumped in here!
Smiles,
Cara :)

Absolutely!
While I too have my little gripes with XCode, I must say that the incredible
level of accessibility and the fact that it's one app which enables you to do
all Mac / iOS development for anything from a Hello World app to corporate
level software etc is awesome to me!
I think that's
Hi Cara,
Well, I see I was wrong about C++, but what about other languages like
Java, Python, etc? Can those apps and games be ported to iOS as well,
or do they have to be converted to Objective C?
Let's suppose I have written a Blackjack game in say Python 2.7.5.
What would I have to do to make
Hi Thomas, yes, the idea that an app needs to be written in Objective C or that
a wrapper needs to be written is not true.
I'm working on a project right now which is really mostly C++. As others have
mentioned, it is possible to use both languages not only in the same project,
or in the same
Hi Cara,
Not only that, but XCode doesn't cost a small fortune to use either.
If you want Visual Studio Pro you'd be paying out $600 the last time I
checked. The IDEs for Mac and Linux are far more affordable in my
experience. :D
Cheers!

Hi Thomas, I haven't worked with Java and Python on iOS but I'll sure look this
up as I'm very curious. I'm sure you can do it but I don't have any word for
you on it just now.
Will let ya know when I know more.
Talk soon and have a great day!

Hi Cara,
Thanks for the site. I'll check it out when I get a chance. Although,
I doubt I'll do much with it until I get a Mac to work with..

All of this, of course, is tremendously interesting to me.
I really would love to get into App development at some point.

Hey you guys, I say this with love, but if y'all would put the energy you're
spending complaining about learning Objective C into actually starting to learn
Objective C then I think you'll find that it's really not that hard! *warm

I'm so glad I can look at that and have it not look like greek to me.
Objective C still frightens me, but... well... Gotta jump in some time
right? I think what is more frightening is Xcode itself. But take
some time to learn it first guys. then complain.

Lol! Awesome Liam! :)
To be completely honest, when I first looked at Objective C syntax I really
didn't like it. I was used to more straight C / Java / C++ syntax so seeing all
the brackets enclosing method calls really kind of turned me off. C++ seemed a
lot more concise to me. However,
Hi all.
I actually agree with everyone on this thread. Objective C is a very
good language and it is well thought out. I have to add here that I do
not have that much experience in using it though. I think what also
puts off some people is that there is no clear divition between
function calls and
