c) There's a perfectly good iPhone development forum at Developer
Forums Beta: Developer Tools that has answers to these and other
iPhone questions.
The iphone web forum is just plain aweful. Having to mess about
logging in to the portal etc and navigate to the forum, painful.
I wonder why we can't have an email list for the iPhone developers?
NDA concerns i suppose? It's silly.
Developers have been begging for places in which to discuss prerelease
products under NDA for years. That place now exists, both for the
iPhone and for Mac OS X.
It's got far superior searchability than the list.
It has a far larger community than any of our old-fashioned mailing
lists.
You can post screen shots and code samples. When helping people with
Xcode issues I find it far easier to just paste a picture of what they
need to fix, or ask for a screen shot of their build result.
Forums scale much better than mailing lists, and links and cross-
references to other threads and answers are much clearer. Endless
quotation waterfalls are much less common.
If there are things you find awful, please file bugs; the forums are
still in Beta, but there are many things that make them already
superior to lists.apple.com, and you are going to see more, not fewer,
web-based developer community activities from Apple.
And if you don't like Apple's forums, for questions such as these that
are not under NDA, the StackOverflow forums are much better
implemented (except for the kinda weird OpenID login), but have far
fewer knowledgable iPhone developers. In the end, if you have iPhone
questions, you should go to where the people with iPhone answers are,
and at this point, it's the iPhone Forums.
