Does anyone know how to add video to an app in Xcode? Im a filmaker and want to put my videos on an app. [import]uid: 190828 topic_id: 32514 reply_id: 332514[/import]
Hi Alex,
I’m a bit confused… you want to create a Corona app featuring your videos, or you want to create a native XCode/Obj-C app for this? What is your programming background? Which marketplaces do you want to aim for?
Thanks,

Thank you for responding. I have no programming background so that’s probably why it’s confusing. I have Xcode on my computer so if there is a way I can use that to make the application then yes I want to make this on the Xcode. I want to eventually put this on the iTunes Store. Is there a difference between a corona app and Aa Xcode/obj-c app? [import]uid: 190828 topic_id: 32514 reply_id: 129501[/import]

Hi Alex,
I’m trying to think how to explain this… XCode isn’t “by itself” a development platform, you need to program using Objective-C. If you don’t have programming knowledge, learning Objective-C is a daunting proposition, unless somehow programming comes naturally to you.
Corona, in contrast, is a SDK (Software Development Kit). It basically helps bridge the gap between you (the designer) and the device. It “uses XCode” but you don’t really need to worry about it unless you get into really advanced technical areas.
What you would need to learn is Lua, the scripting language at the heart of Corona… that can’t be done in a week, but it’s considerably easier than Obj-C. There are many resources to learn Lua/Corona… but if you really don’t want to, you can probably hire a developer for a reasonable fee to create the app for you in Corona.
Once the app is developed in Corona, it handles all of the behind-the-scenes stuff, and creates a “binary” which you can submit to the App Store.
Does this help clarify it?

Ok perfect. I don’t mind learning the language I actually want to build it myself. Is there a link where I can learn the basics of corona and LUA? [import]uid: 190828 topic_id: 32514 reply_id: 129556[/import]

Hi Alex,
Great to hear that you’re ready to dive in to Lua and Corona! It’s a language and platform which seems to agree with “non programmers”… I can vouch for this, as I come from a graphic design and photography background, and I learned Lua/Corona in a fairly short timeframe. Several other Corona developers cite a similar experience.
I’ll direct you to the following resource page, which I’m currently helping the Corona team with, making it more complete and up-to-date. Soon there will be many more links leading to all kinds of various resources, but until then, this should get you started.

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask in the forums. Myself and many other developers frequent these forums and answer questions, especially if you’re a new user and you have a basic question that you can clearly describe (so we know exactly what the issue is and how to diagnose it).
Best regards,
Brent Sorrentino
