iOS was designed to be simple but yet advanced at the same time. We can easily create a small ‘To Do’ application and we can also create a very complex mathematical computation application or 3D game.

Like most platforms, iOS has your usual development features for audio, video, data management, graphics, animation, networking, and Internet just to name a few. The additional features of iOS make it that much simpler to develop applications.

Address Book
As you could assume from the title, you can access the user’s address book, very useful feature if you would like your application to email or SMS one of your contacts with some useful information.

Game Kit
This framework is designed to add networking capabilities to your applications including peer-to-peer connectivity and in-game voice features.

iAd
Apple’s new advertising platform, if you would like to create a free to use application and want to make a some money on the side, this framework can place full-screen or banner advertisements in your application.

Map Kit
The Map Kit framework provides an embeddable map interface for your application. The maps can be displayed as map or satellite imagery and points of interest and other custom information can be placed on the maps.

Message UI
The Message UI framework provides a window to your applications to compose email messages without having to leave your application.

UIKit
The UIKit framework provides all the objects to create an interface for your application.

These are the main kits available to the iOS platform which is only a small portion of the development environment. We have a lot of fun making applications for the iPhone and iPad, and when we see others using our applications it brings us even more joy.
