Network Configuration And Change Management

The SDK adds the development libraries for mobile phones for Network Configuration and Change Management. It is therefore possible for the developer to create application projects for this system. To test the application, there are two possibilities: the developer can connect the phone to the Mac, then launch the application as a test to join the developer program, or launch the application being tested in iPhone Simulator
.
Interface Builder allows you to build an interface for Cocoa Touch manually, using drag and drop. It also allows an application to easily translate into several languages. In addition, it allows you to visually manage the Model-View-Controller pattern, connecting elements of an interface written for them, using drag and drop. Finally, the interface file is created and added to the Xcode project.

Instruments is a computer monitoring tool. It allows connection to the computer, observe real-time performance of the processor, once the application is launched on an Touch, but also, for example, the graphics engine or the accelerometer. In addition, it is also possible to monitor system performance in Simulator.

iPhone Simulator (formerly Aspen Simulator) is one of the tools developed specifically for the iPhone SDK. It simulates how a virtual iPhone software, which can run applications directly on the computer. The Multitouch movements are then reproduced manually with the mouse by the user, and it is possible to rotate the simulator with keyboard shortcuts. Furthermore, the user is able to choose which hardware and firmware version they wish to use.

The iOS system contains several limitations imposed by Apple. Among these are the system is closed (it is necessary to unleash the system to take advantage of some features not offered by the manufacturer: this is called the jailbreak)

The Adobe Flash is not supported and after Apple never will (mainly to extend the life of the battery and does not slow down the system), many video sites have replaced their video format by H.264 and HTML5 specifically for the iPad or iPhone. The operating system is designed for Apple devices, unlike other mobile operating systems like Android, MeeGo, and Windows Phone.

Since this mainly uses cellular functions and possibly 3G iPhone, which are available almost all the time, a process of this type lacks efficiency on the iPod Touch. Indeed, any function resembling Kill Switch has so far been found in the iPod Touch.

The Network Configuration and Change Management is considered by some as brutal as it simply removes the application without even informing the author. This means that Apple may decide at any time to remove any application without giving any reason. From there, one could consider that the firm uses this function for immoral purposes.
