Got my App on my iPhone!
Exciting days! This weekend I finally got my app running on my iPhone. It took a while to get accepted to the developer program (due to a lost email) and then I had problems getting my app working on my iPhone that were solved by upgrading to the latest SDK.
But now I have my app working on my iPhone and it’s sweet! It’s so cool to see something that you’ve only seen working in the emulator working, and working well, on the iPhone.
Well, except for one thing. It’s slow. Slow as in I don’t wanna use it slow. Now, it’s the debug build, so I’m hoping that the release build is quicker. I haven’t tested it yet due to various reasons, but I’ll be able to do so once the XML data service I rely on is back up and running. I’m crossing my fingers. Either way, I still think I need to add a spinner when the app first launches, to show that I’m working on getting the data. I also need to handle the absence of the data service better, instead of just crashing! 
Edit: When the service I rely on stops working, my app just quits. (I still have to fix that.) I noticed that with the release build, it quits much faster! That’s a good sign, I hope.
