My app uses NSTimer and it appears that NSTimer doesn't fire when the iPhone goes into the stand-by mode (either by pressing the hardware button or by the idle timer). When I activate the iPhone again, my app is still in the foreground. What happens to third party apps when the iPhone is the stand-by mode? ...
I have never done any iPhone or iPod Touch development, much due to the additional need for a Mac to develop on, plus needing to learn Objective-C. With the announcement of MonoTouch now I can use .NET languages I am already familiar with, and develop on my Windows PC. However I am curious if I will still need a Mac to deploy and test ...
Is anyone on the site in the beta for MonoTouch? What issues have you been seeing with it? I personally have found it a very nice little system and have just made a small test app with it. The test app seems to startup slowly, but it works on my device so I am happy to be using C# on the iPhone. ...

I am considering using MonoTouch for some iPhone development, but payload size is an important factor. For a user who has never installed Mono on their iPhone before, what would the size of an Objective-C "Hello World" app be compared to a MonoTouch "Hello World" app? More specifically, what is the approx. number of bytes that need to ...
What's the equivalent of sizeWithFont in MonoTouch. If there's no such method, is it possible to invoke it some other way? All I want to do is resize the label based on the text... ...
It strikes me as a good idea for Apple to negotiate with Novell and bundle the Mono Touch runtime (only the runtime of course) into every iPhone and iPod Touch. Perhaps even make it a "one time install" that automatically gets downloaded from the App Store the first time one downloads an app build with Mono Touch, making every subsequent...
Hi guys, I would really appreciate it anybody could briefly explain me, what's the general approach to implementing things like MonoTouch? I'm really amazed because it's not the first example I see when people get some platform like Java and make it translate into something like C/Objective-C. I can't really imagine how things like Garb...

I have a simple UIButton with an Alpha property that I would like to animate from 1.0f to 0.0f, and then back to 1.0f. This is basically responding to TouchDown. Also, is there anything special I need to do if the routine I am calling from is not on the main thread (async delegate invoked on the ThreadPool)? Should I use CAAnimation? ...

As a .Net developer I always dreamed for the possibility to develop with my existing skills (c#) applications for the Iphone. Both programs require a Mac and the Iphone Sdk installed. Appcelerator Titanium was the first app I tried and it is based on exposing some Iphone native api to javascript so that they can be called using that la...
What options are there for game developers in regards to working with the MonoTouch framework? Is OpenGL fully supported? Or just a subset? Is there any additional tools, frameworks or engines that would be compatible with MonoTouch? Would these libraries also have to be written in .NET? Do you have any other tips? Thanks all. ...
After learning more about how monotouch works, I believe I know the answer to this anyway, but can you use the cocos2d-iphone framework with monotouch? I believe most likely this will be a 'no', because cocos2d is an an objective c library and there would most probably have to be some sort of .net port for this to be achieved? is that so...
I'm slightly confused; Mono is free and at least partially listed under the GNU GPL. Yet Novell is selling their MonoTouch SDK for money! ...
When I build using MonoDevelop using the MonoTouch framework it appears the iPhone Simulator always loads in the background, is there any way to bring this to the front instead of always having to click it in the dock to bring it up? Can't find anything in preferences. ...
