Build a simple RSS reader for the iPhone



With this I’m assuming you have a bit of familiarity with the iPhone SDK - you can download it for free from Apple’s site, and follow along here. We’re going to build an RSS feed reader for a simple feed (from The Apple Blog, no less).

Let’s get started

  1. Open Xcode and choose the “File” menu, in which you’ll click the “New Project…” item.
  2. Click “Application” under “iPhone OS” in the list at left.
  3. On the right, choose “Navigation-Based Application”. Then click the “Choose…” button. You’ll be prompted to pick a name and location. Type in the name “TAB RSS reader”.
  4. Save it wherever you wish.

The Xcode project window will appear, with the standard 3 panes - I recommend pulling the horizontal divider on the right side all the way to the top, since you’ll need that editor area and all the real estate you can give it.
