The first App Store application
Download a provisioning file with iPhone Configuration Utility
Emulators are “just no good”
Let your developer do the installation
Entire development process takes 4-14 weeks, depending on complexity

Who will use the app?
What is the app about?
What is the primary language?
What is the purpose of the application?
Will you charge a fee?
What color is your grandmother’s hair?
