Updated for Xcode 4. The process is very easy, and it’s a short tutorial!
Bonus is that the tutorial was done in the latest version of Dapp (1.3 – currently in review with Apple), which includes the improved tableviews.
Check it out!
Note: Use Xcode 3? Then please view our Xcode 3 version of this video tutorial – Hello World Tutorial for Xcode 3
To your app success!,Cliff
P.S. Technology is only a small part of your app success. There is the business, sales and marketing that you need to think of too :). Which is why I also provide a bunch of free education on how to succeed on the App Store - http://kerofrog.com :).
Cliff, love this app! Something very helpful you have on there is not allowing me to name events and things with numbers or symbols. The alert window pops up and says “you can’t…..” and I rename accordingly. I wanted to let you know that when I did a table list, in the description cell I wrote a sentence and encased a word “in quotes”. I then exported my app, brought it into Xcode and had 6 errors on build. I went in to explore the errors and realized I needed to delete the quotes around my words in all of those sections. Xcode had read the quotes and was expecting a : after them. When I deleted all of the sections that had the quote around the word contained in the table list description cell, the build went smoothly. Thank you for the excellent work, I can’t wait for Dapp HD!
Thanks for that. I need to modify the output to put an ‘escape character’ before double quotation marks when exporting to Xcode. I’ve added this to my todos for the next update
.
Names starting with numbers and certain symbols are not allowed because Xcode can be picky with object names and the name you use is what is generated in Xcode to create the object name. So yeah, no easy way around that I’m afraid!
Thanks for this video. I missed that Main Interface removal bit too and was banging my head on the desk (made a nice mark). If you haven’t already you might want to add a link on your ‘export to Xcode’ video that uses xCode 3.0 to this video. My desk would thank you.
p.s. loving your app. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support
. Adding the link now. 
Yep, you just need to remove the reference (Main Interface) that Xcode creates when a new project is created
.
Play the video tutorial and fast forward to the 2:45 mark for details on how to do this.
Cliff,
Sorry just to add its failing because its trying to load a nib file even though there is no XIB and I;m using the main.m generated by Dapp
Thanks
Gary
Hi Cliff,
Sure understand.
I do have another issue now, for some reason I have build quite a large project in Dapp which when I export and build in XCode 4 using your example crashes with a Sigabrt as soon as it runs. There are 43 class files so not sure if its a size issue. I will investigate and also happy to send you the exported project.

Whats happening with dapp hd that you said you would deliver in june 2010???
Great app guys but ipad version sorely needed (otherwise i’ll have to buy interface instead)
Gary
Yep, I did. That was my bad
.
I’m just a lone developer and the time required to keep updating Dapp and Manage has left me with no time leftover to deliver Dapp HD. The good news is that I’m in the process of hiring some staff now and will be delegating the creation of Dapp HD to a future staff member.
I do want Dapp HD to be beyond awesome and so wont be taking shortcuts with the project. Until then, you are correct in that you’ll need to purchase a competing product. :S
