Tutorial: Building an iPhone application using the C++ API

This tutorial guides you through the process of building an UltraLite C++ application for the iPhone using the Apple development tools. Wherever possible, this tutorial provides links to more detailed information.

Required software

Xcode 3.2

Note

The Names sample used in this tutorial is compatible with Xcode 4.2 but there are several graphical user interface differences between Xcode 3.2 and Xcode 4.2. For a tutorial about developing iPhone applications with the latest version of Xcode, see [external link] http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhone101/Articles/00_Introduction.html.
