Whats needed to go from Eclipse to Xcode?

ive been using eclipse for android projects and am finally looking to put some apps in the apple market, but before i spend tons of cash on a mac, i need to know what i need to do to put my app into xcode. 1) thing i already know, i have to download the iOS version and not the android version 2) all my html documents obviously wont be in the source code package, so i will have to transfer those into xcode. anything else to know?

Hey Cono, You'll have to join the Apple Developer Program at $99/yr. You'll need Developer and Distribution certificates, which you can get once you join the dev program You'll need an Intel-based Mac that can run Xcode (stay away from anybody mentioning doing it in VMware. That's a violation of Apple TOS). As long as the same files that are in your Eclipse project are in your Xcode project (meaning HTML, PDF, etc), then you're good! Mark

I prefer full disclosure vs. hidden details. Makes me feel more comfortable with a potential solution. Shouldn't be anything to hide if it's all legit! Mark

Perhaps the light is too bright to be shown suddenly. Fred

Perhaps it's not a solution ready to be rolled out yet? Anyway...enough said on that. It's your deal, and I'm certainly not in the position to say whether it's viable or not, especially since I don't know anything about it. But, it's hard to recommend a potential solution to somebody without any details. If it's good, I'll recommend it to everybody who it would benefit. Mark
