Online Native App Building Service: buzztouch

[Scott Rossi]

Just came across this interesting app building service that appears to be
completely free.

<http://www.buzztouch.com/>

It's unusual in that the app you build is delivered to you in source code,
which you then compile and place on your device (iOS, Android).

Haven't had time to try it out myself but it does look interesting.

Hi,

It works and it looks like fun. When you build an app for iOS, you really need to know what you're doing and how to configure XCode to make it work. Since BuzzTouch expects to find iOS SDK 4.1, you need to change the Base SDK to 4.2 and you might want to change the target to the Simulator before installing the app on your device. Also, you still need to go through the entire registration process with Apple and set up code signing. The available features are rather limited. It might be fun to play with for someone who knows what s/he's doing, but if you have the knowledge already, you probably will want to use GameSalad or, ...let me take a second to think of a random example... LiveCode for iOS.

Hi again,

I have another important remark regarding BuzzTouch. BuzzTouch registers the location of your iPhone, every time when you start an application that was built with BuzzTouch. If you don't allow the app to connect with BuzzTouch, it simply won't work. I'm pretty sure that end-users of the apps won't like this.
