The iPhone with its unique features opened the door to many developers worldwide to develop the phone’s application and send them to Apple. The Apple panel would then review it and would bundle that into the iPhone and the developer would get a substantial royalty. Soon, Apple begun to receive thousands of codes from budding developers. The pool of iPhone applications swelled and Apple faced a very interesting conundrum. The applications varied from the weirdest to the state of the art.

In 2008, Apple released the iPhone SDK, a developer toolkit that allows programmers to develop iPhone application.

iPhone SDK lets you develop two type of applications—Web development and Native iPhone Application development.
