IDE other than XCode for IPhone development

Question

I have been using XCode for IPhone development since start. Out of curiosity, are there other IDEs available for IPhone development . If so, in what way are they better than XCode (if they are). Kindly help me learning with that IDE if there is any.

Thanks

Answer 1

There are no realistic alternatives to XCode for development using Cocoa or Cocoa Touch; ie applications targeting Mac OS X or iOS.

Answer 2

You can try using tools provided by Adobe. Check this Link http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/abansod_iphone.html

But as Williham said XCode is the best way there is.

Answer 3

My project manager used Mac's TextEdit to code a robust game, game framework and some libraries from scratch. The advantages of TextEdit: Load faster than xcode.

Answer 4

There is AppCode by Jetbrains . Still in development, though.

Not really for me - but if you're a user of their other IDEs, then you might find it more comfortable than Xcode.
