The time has come for developers to start developing the iPhone applications. This means that a large number of developers would require a large number of porting applications in Iphone. Certain differences must be looked out while porting applications to new devices. There are several ways by which we can port the existing iPhone applications.
There are several ways to port the applications using iPhone SDK. XCODE is much better than other platforms as it integrates with the iPhone Simulator, redistributing and running applications in a fast and effective manner.
-
Supporting iPhone and iPad platforms: iPad runs the existing iPhone applications by using the same size of the screen that is available on iPhone touch. The application uses only some part of the screen and not the complete screen. This is a temporary solution that is adopted to buy time for developers to port the applications UI to a bigger iPad screen.
-
A simple way to make sure that iPhone applications run as an iPad application is to modify the tool that target setting in Xcode application. Create a new View-based Application using Xcode.
-
Name the project and Double-click on the ViewController file to edit the Interface Builder in it. Populate the View window with Label, TextField, Button.
-
When you are back in Xcode, press Command-R to test the application on iPhone Simulator.
-
Change the simulator and debug and then press Command-R again. Now the application shown running in the iPad Simulator as an iPhone application. This considered as the default behavior of iPhone applications that are running on the iPad.
-
Expand on Targets item and select the application's item. Click the Info button to display Info page. Then click on Build tab and scroll down the list. Select iPhone/iPad for the Targeted Device Family setting, under the deployment section.
-
Press Command-R to check the application on the simulator again. The application runs naively as an iPad application this time.
-
The User Interface of application is same as that on the iPhone. It is the responsibility of the developer to set the aim of the User Interface again, when the application is running on the iPad.
