Yes, I'm building this with Xamarin (yay student licenses) and thus should be able to have this running on iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Unfortunately due to Apple's licensing you need an actual mac to test and package the App which I don't have. Neither, at the moment, do I have the $99 for a developers license since I'm a student with little funding and my wife's been out of work.
I need the app and I have an iPhone!!!! Let's raise the money! I'd chip in!
I'm very grateful for your guys' support, but don't go getting out the chequebook quite yet. I'm going to try and get most of the core functionality working before I start working on the iOS UI stuff.
I'm excited regardless and you definitely have our support!
Hey, I can lend you my old black macbook if you want. I'd appreciate it back at the end of the testing phase, because it has sorta become the default loaner laptop for my entire family. It doesn't work as a laptop as the battery is fried, but as long as it stays plugged in, it works great. It's running snow leopard, so let's confirm that whatever you test the app on can run on Snow Leopard. If not, I think I can load it up with Mountain Lion.
Thank you for the offer! I'm going to see if I can use either my school's macs or my sister's if she still has it first. Funny aside: When I first graduated high school I bought a first gen macbook pro (RIP). My sister thought I was soooo uncool for using a mac and wanted to disown me. Now she owns and swears by both a macbook and iPhone.
If you need help when it comes time, let me know. I've got a Mac and between my fiance and I we've got an iPhone 4, 4s, and a Retina iPad (3rd Generation). If you aren't ready till the next iteration of the phone comes out I'll have one of those too since I've got the 4 right now and will probably upgrade since I want a better camera. I can at least test performance on the various devices. Not opposed to getting creative with packing the app remotely either if you can't get your hands on a Mac, and I've been planning on grabbing a dev licence as well, so there is also that if need be. I'm with mk, thenewgreen, and advancedapes and would chip in for one for you though, no problem. I'm sure between us we could cover it already ;)
