I can't stress it enough, so I'll say it right now and hope that I get my point across rather simply; WE DID IT.I know I'll sound like an idiot with this next paragraph or so, but to hell with it. You'll have to take my word for it, but under that big ol' box of gray to the left is a working demo of an application we've programmed for the iPhone running on a unit set up for debug. Due to some NDAs, we can't tell you what it is, we can't tell you if and when it will ever be released, we can't even tell you if it's awesome or not (but we made it, so it has to be, right?). You just have to trust me when I say it's there and working.
It's still a bit buggy and we have some work to do with it, but it runs. After a couple hours of playing around with settings, setting up test units, etc, we finally got it to launch and we can play around with it on a retail iPhone.
Sure, we've gotten apps up and running on the build in XCode Simulator, but this is the first time we've used an application that we've built on a physical iPhone. It's a unbelievably proud moments for us and we're extremely happy of our currently buggy program. It may have flaws, it may not even be completely finished, but it's ours and we love it.
So, sorry to bother you all with this super sappy blog post that pretty much says absolutely nothing to you. I'll apologize for this I guess. This is just an unbelievably big step for our team as we move forward and it builds up a bunch of excitement for the next two months or so. I don't think we'll be this happy again until we get something to go gold in the App Store.
Speaking of applications, I've been asked by a bunch of people in the last week or so about what exactly the "CollegeKidApp" is? What are our final plans for our application? I definitely understand that we've been a bit vague about this so far, so I hope to write a blog post either later tonight or tomorrow which goes into greater detail about this. I'll clarify right now in saying that the image above isn't our "CollegeKidApp" and we'll still be working on different stuff for the next two months.
