Hi all. As I understand it, buying the IOS sdk costs $90. Then you probably have to learn objective c, as this is the only non runtime language I know of that you can program in on IOS. You need this to start developing, even if you wanted your app to be free. This is just another reason why an IOS version will cost money and why payed outsourcing is a good idea.
As for java, from what I know java's sound support is not that great. It has the javax.sound and javax.sound.sample packages, but getting a workable sound interface will take more time. There is no functionality offfered by things like sdl, or sfml. The other option is something like lwjgl, but this still means that the app will be tied to only platforms supporting lwjgl. Although many mobile platforms run java, each run their own version of java with different packages. Android for example has a java implementation almost like the normal java with extra android packages. This is why it is much easier to write programs for the android platform.
