Rhodes vs. iPhone SDK, which is better for me?

Mauro Dalu

rhodes-framework-mobile-developmentIn case your target is to deploy your mobile app to several mobile platforms — such as iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Symbian and Windows Mobile — we can provide custom mobile development and design your application so that it works well on all these mobile platforms with very little additional effort, using a new cross-platform mobile framework called Rhodes. Rhodes will allow us to create one application that will run on all platforms and re-skin it to look like a native application on each system, effectively reducing the overall development costs.

Sounds great, but does Rhodes add any additional hurdles that would not be encountered if we used iPhone SDK?

Bricked iPhone? Say it ain't so…

Brad Midgley

I have a few suggestions for developers using bleeding edge systems on iPhone.

2. Download every beta OS for your device even if you don’t expect to use it. I found OS3 beta5 won’t install

Can't build for iPhone OS 2 or 2.2.x after iPhone SDK 3.0 beta 3 upgrade

Brad Midgley

After upgrading to iPhone SDK 3.0 beta3, I found all my Xcode projects only had two build options remaining: iPhone OS 3 Device and iPhone OS 3 Simulator.
