  • Install the 'JDK 6 Update 7' from here - http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

  • Download this (See above posts for latest version of iPhone Java App Creator) and extract it somewhere like c:\iphoneappcreator THE PATH MUST HAVE NO SPACES IN IT
  • Go into your iPhone settings and change auto lock to never ( this will stop the connection cutting out)
  • Get your iPhones IP Address ( this can be done by going to wifi settings, and clicking the blue button next to your connection )
  • Run c:\iphoneappcreator\iPhoneJavaHelper.exe
  • Create a new application - lets call it TestApp and put your iPhones IP in and click 'New iPhone Application'
  • Go to c:\iphoneappcreator\applications\TestApp\src and run the workspace file TestApp.jcw
  • Click on the Project Menu and select Project Settings
  • Click on the tab 'Required Libraries'
  • Click New
  • Type 'iPhone' as the name (case sensitive)
  • Click Add->Archive
  • Enter the folder c:\iphoneappcreator\libs and select ALL the files in that folder by holding and dragging your mouse over them all, then click open
  • Click OK, then OK again.
  • Click the Play button on the toolbar to compile your application
  • Goto c:\iphoneappcreator\ and run UpdateToPhone.exe
  • Type in your applications name (one word string case sensitive)
  • Type in your iPhones IP and click Update iPhone with my local compile
  • Go to your iPhone now and run the app
  • Enjoy.

Hi, nice initiative! But what editor do you use for editing the files?

# Go to c:\iphoneappcreator\applications\TestApp\src and run the workspace file TestApp.jcw
# Click on the Project Menu and select Project Settings

Okay, I followed every step exactly, except for the TestApp part.
I named mine PodStop instead.
It doesn't appear on my springboard.. :/
I have it in my Applications folder, and it only has a Java file in it.
Why doesn't it work?
Does this work on 3.1.2?
