Are there any Open-source iPhone applications around?


I'm looking for open source iPhone applications. There are many sample applications around, but not many "complete" applications. Any ideas?

    They are doing 31 iPhone apps in 31 days. Check it out, great resource since you get access to the source code, and descriptions, screenshots, and more.

    Hope it helps.

  3. Brad Larson has very generously released his Molecules app under BSD. You might want to look at that.

  5. There are TONS of open source projects along with blog posts from Matt Gallagher. It's strange that this great resource is not listed here.

  16. Search Joe Hewitt on Google. He has a complete project for download demonstrating all the features of the facebook app. Although this I's only UI related, it's a pretty neat demo. You can also add it to your apps.

  20. There haven't been many full apps released as open-source, largely because of the NDA forced by Apple on the iphone development framework. They recently loosened the NDA requirements (but it's still there), so you'll probably be seeing more open source projects as time moves on.

  21. The full source code from the book Test-Driven iOS Development is available at https://github.com/iamleeg/BrowseOverflow and it demonstrates a number of useful techniques for unit testing iOS apps. It's a basic app, but entirely functional and well worth looking at.
