I am an iOS and Mac app developer from Chicago, IL who created one of the first iPhone games back in 2007 before the SDK and AppStore was created. I have since continued to work full time on developing iPhone, iPad and Mac apps.

Other than being an iOS geek, I'm also a big game geek who has been writing FAQs, websites and guides for many video games since the early 90s. I currently run one of the longest running Mortal Kombat fansites The Realm of Mortal Kombat (aka TRMK).

iOS Wireless App Distribution Talk

Tonight I am giving a talk on iOS Wireless App Distribution at Chicago Cocoaheads. If you missed it or want to follow along you can download the Keynote file.

Here is a list of links referenced in my talk:

As part of my talk I created a new PHP script that I am calling Manifest Destiny. It automates a step of the process by creating the required manifest property list files on your server. In addition to that it also gives a customizable HTML listing for devices to install said ipa files from their iOS devices. This is currently available as a Gist over on Github.

In the future I may branch it out to be it’s own project, as I have lots of ideas on how to make things better for my workflow. Also let me know via the link on the left if you port it to Ruby or any other server side languages, and I’ll include a link to it.
