Absolute frustration with the deployment process and Apple development in general
I have been a Mircosoft developer for 13 years and it took me 13 years to get the the point where I wanted to change technologies. Now after 6 months of working in iPhone development I have got the that same level of frustration.
So has anyone go any tutorial that can help me get through the deployment processes to get my application from my computer to my iPhone?
I have followed all the obvious steps, but then little things just didn't happen like the certificate didn't appear in my iPhone device window, whatever the hell that thing is called. And then some how it did as well as some strange entry about a team, it there that shouldn't have been there. And the "Build and Go" icon just won't appear.
Even a glossary of all the half **** phrases that might mean something to someone working on Planet Apple, surrounded by Apple's for a few decades, but mean nothing to anyone on planet earth, would be useful.
And don't give me any non-sense with referring to documentation written by Apple, i thought Microsoft was bad at writing documentation, until I tried to make sense of the Apple non-sense.
1)Register with apple (Pay $99)
2)Download developer certificate and provisioning certificate
3)Provision device for developing
4)Sign application with developer certificate
5)Select iOS device as target and hit build and go.
If you are using Xcode 4 it will be able to do most of this for you using the "Organizer" window.
If your "going Android" then why even make this post? You really expect that statement to make us want to help you more?
The process is not that hard if you can't figure it out then well.....
Hmmm ... All iPhone 4's are identical. All touches are identical (within their generation). All iPads are the same. Etc. Lemme know how that Android thing works out for you.
I'm gonna guess you never did anything but Windows, right? And never left the comfy confines of Das Bloat, aka MFC. Or, perhaps, just VB?
I gotta tell you, Apple doc ain't the greatest but "it there that shouldn't have been there" isn't helping your case. Take a deep breath, get an intro to iPhone programming book (note - there are places called libraries where you can grab a book for like two weeks at no cost!), and chill. Most of the starter books have an entire chapter devoted to your first deploy - and there are plenty of threads on this board that discuss intro book pros and cons.
And, to echo a common refrain, next time be a little more specific on what Lovecraftian horror deployed itself to your phone

I swear to God almighty I'm going Android ASAP.
I think you are so frustrated with it and that's why you're blaiming to Apple. Read some tutorials, books or even if you had asked nicely on this forum how to pass through this difficult stage, you would be in another side right now.
It was your decision getting into Apple's world. If you don't like it, you just need to move on.
