My life in the Developers World

Pascal on the iPhone

Olaf Monien, Holger Flick and I (Daniel Magin) are playing in our free time with a beta version from RemObjects. marc hoffman and his team did a great job to integrate the Oxygene stuff now also to the apple mac side. I have developed a lot of stuff on Xcode with Objective C and (my personal opinion) this shows me why i love pascal.

it was only some simple steps to produce a native iPhone Application in Delphi like style. Olaf and I have developed a test application to show the current location of our iPhone. Yeaaahhhh and all written in pascal (!).

for Design we use the original Apple Interface Builder. to develop the code in pascal remobjects is producing a pascal plugin in monotouch. also i use my original apple certificate in the IDE so i have deployed the application to my real iPhone. The iPhone App is full native compile. So it can be pushed later also to the iTunes appstore.

so it is only some time to wait to have a public Pascal compiler for the iPhone.

Here the Application on the iPhone Simulator

  2. Check our FreePascal and it’s Lazarus IDE – it is possible to write native iPhone apps using FP.

    • correct. but there is some native objective c code in lazarus. here nothing. and you can mix your delphi prism assemblies or c# assemblies from windows to the mac and use it there

      🙂

      • There’s objetive c code in lazarus? Sorry, can you please point us to the source of tha info?
        OTOH, what is bad with native code? 🙂
        You can also use windows or unix or mac code with lazarus, dont even care about that.

        Best regards.
