The only fix Apple need make in the xcode package I wrote them about
earlier and it would be helpful if it were a general fix to their
operating systems going forward is that there is no keyboard shortcut for
drag and drop. One would be able to move objects into the selected area
so they'd be included in an app that was being developed so far as I know
the rest of it works. For those that aren't afraid of the command line
though interfacebuilder in xcode may be the way to go since that's command
line operated unless someone has found flaws in that platform as well.

As far as developing apps goes, Apple's Xtools just aren't there. It's gotten
better as versions of Xcode has gone up, but last time I checked, (and that was
a few releases back) it still wasn't possible to build an app from scratch
using apple's tools if you wanted to have a gui with the app. Now, with that
said, I have written apps for osx, and even modified existing apps to make them
work better, the only issue was, I needed sighted assistance for parts of the
process. Others have successfully used tools like renasance and produced quite
usable programs. Java also works well (or used to, I've not written anything
in java for a couple years, so this may have changed). Of course, if you write
your application in php/html/javascript, and host it on a web server, then it
will work for osx and ios with no trouble, assuming you build it properly. Of
course, the downside of that is you can't use the app in offline mode, but it
doesn't sound like you want offline access an
yh
ow, so that may work for you.
I know there are others who develop on osx and ios, and perhaps they have more
recent experiences they can relate, but I kind of let my osx/ios development
slide after getting so frustrated with the not quite accessible tools, and the
lack of a machine that could run the latest osx release, so perhaps I'm not the
best person to be answering this query, since I've mainly stuck to
linux/terminal apps for the last little while.
Hopefully, someone else will pipe up with better information for you. If I
ever get a new enough machine to use osx 10.9, I will likely renew my apple
developer access, and begin looking into all this stuff again, but that isn't
likely to happen in the near future.
Hope this helps anyway.

Hello,
Does anyone know where I would begin if I wanted to develop an app where
people could post questions anonymously and it be accessed on ios as well as
os? I am considering developing an app to be used at my institution. This
would be the first app that I have ever developed. Thank you for any help
offered on this matter.
