Time To Make an iPhone and Android App For Girlfriend Social

I figure its about time I get on making mobile versions of   – http://www.girlfriendsocial.com … I code php, mysql, html, css etc but have never even looked into mobile development…. Today that changes….

I've already designed and use a very basic html version of the site that displays mobile screen resolution content. 

The mobile app will have features similar to a members site. Push notification for messages received on the main website,  view profile and events, maybe eventually geo target local app members to you…..

Anyone have any good suggestions, websites, books etc to start on the mobile coding curve?

  • Jumping from web to Objective-C/Java is not a cake walk. You may want to consider using a tool such as PhoneGap to quickly build out an Android and IOS application until you can afford to pay for a quality application.

  • Place ratings? Not the usual ratings but how good they are places to go. I know I'm a man but I'm an ideas man ;-)

  • Have you thought about starting with a responsive web design, using the skills you already have to help mobile users access the site?  You can use that to buy you time to learn mobile development and get a native app written without a "rush to market" mentality.

    Sometimes a native app isn't the best route to take initially, especially if you're doing the development yourself.

  • You're better off designing the site responsively  cross platform for all resolutions, browsers and device types, alongside geo-serving your sites content to different countries, monetizing for multiple locales. -- And then once you have done that, create the native complementary apps for iPhone, Android and Windows handhelds. - Maximizing reach, awareness and profits.

  • is likely right (at least in the beginning). You could roll out a mobile version of your site to start with. That way you'll be able to kill all the birds with one stone.

  • A mobile html version is just a add-on, everything needs to be integrated and wrapped together properly. -- It makes a big difference.

  • How do you know I'm not a 'chick' also can a guy be 'chick in Europe?

    Posting a photo with a newspaper and the date of publishing may work, but you could fake that.... Maybe video face to face authentication only and photocopy of an I D card... Or signature... Food for thought?

  • I develop Android in Eclipse but I have colleagues who code in LiveCode because it can generate native ios and android apps.
