One of our OnForce developers went through the process of creating an iPhone application.  He wrote down the steps to help others who are also looking to create an iPhone app.

Step 1

If you want to write an iPhone app, first you need sign up with the iPhone Dev Center to get your ID. You will have to fill out some forms, and pay a $99 developer fee.

Step 2

Visit the Apple iPhone Developer Center at this address:

http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action

The site offers you tutorials and gives you forums to visit while you learn how to create an iPhone application, and then you can test out your apps while you're working on them.

Step 3

The programming language used to write iPhone apps is Objective-C. If you are not familiar with this language, you will need to spend time reading books or getting trained in this programming language before you can write your app.

Step 4

Build your app in X-Code, and work on the iPhone with Cocoa touch to develop your product.

Step 5

Submit your finished app to Apple. Fill out a web form and upload the icon of your product. Congratulations! You have written your first iPhone app!
