How many application ideas did not die due to the fact that the people in whose heads they were born did not have the necessary knowledge to make an application for iOS. How many people have not given up development work because the programs made for developers are difficult to use? Even if you are not part of any of these 2 categories, but you would still like to make apps for iOS, then you should interested about Red Foundry, a new application development platform intended for those who do not have advanced knowledge of C++ or Cocoa.

Red Foundry is a platform that promises to help people interested in developing iOS applications and making them profitable. The developers of the project claim that the whole platform is made to help people make professional applications, applications from which they can make money if they send them for acceptance in the AppStore. In America, almost anyone can hit the AppStore if they have a great idea, and the most recent example is the 14-year-old boy who managed to develop an application that surpassed the Angry Birds game in terms of popularity and downloads weekly. That's what the Red Foundry promise, but before you get too excited, I recommend you look at price list for available services.

Here are some of the features of the platform:

  • Build new and custom layouts and functionality using Red Foundry's own mark-up language, which is similar to HTML.
  • The capacity to connect to social networking content and API's, including those from Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress, but also private or custom APIs for unique Apps.
  • Free WYSIWYG simulator App for testing
  • Intelligent analytics
  • push notifications,
  • User-generated content,
  • Social networking and media capabilities
  • Online learning tools for first time developers

To be honest, such a platform would "push" me to start making applications for the AppStore.
