After a few false starts, I’ve successfully built and live-tested my first iOS app on my iPad 4th gen and iPhone 5S and 6Pro.
The app uses the Tabs Screen model with 4 views on the iPhone and 3 on the iPad.
It’s sorely lacking in much more than navigation and testing of the web and movie playing abilities, but everything worked once I got the basics sorted out.
One item for the docs - currently you MUST use wildcard provisioning and distribution certificates (com.mycompany.* versus com.mycompany.specificapp).
It’s not really new. I just shoved it over from another project that’s in the making
(And now I’m back to my work. Feel free to drag all the UIView properties and helper functions over into this iOSLabel is the native UILabel, therefore all the UIView declares should work on it too): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21200221/Xojo/UILabel.xojo_binary_project.zip

Not to quibble, but weren’t you one of the guys saying you had no use for iOS??
Unfortunately, the simple project turns out to not be so simple because of the completely alien way that layout works and the control positioning glitches when trying to reposition things in the IDE editor.

Take two steps back, smell the roses, and get back to it relaxed. In itself, iOS is alien by its interface, and Auto Layout is a new way of seeing things. Let it sink in and mature a bit. Then you will find it easier. It did that to me.
