Coding in objective c is not the problem.  The problem is the interface
builder in xcode.  You can fight and get some crappy dialog test program
going but if you're trying to create software for the IPhone and you don't
have someone to do the GUI you will not be able to get very far.  If your
coding for the mac your choices are better because there is an accessible
way of doing things.  So far that is not the case for IPhone.  I am not
saying you cannot code things but it is not something you will have much
luck with if your totally blind.  Another thing to know is that you have to
have a Mac to code for the IPhone unless you use Titanium but the problem
with Titanium is it is a java tool and not accessible with 64 bit machines
because of the access bridge.  All though that might be different now that
the new access bridge is out.

I have no direct knowledge of Objective C so can't answer that question.
I asked what language iPhone used as its native language and got this
information back on aiphones mailing list.  Probably a good question for
me to ask and have answered before I ask a long standing friend to do
some research for me is what hardware platform is expected to be put to
use doing the programming?  That may or may not make a difference.  My
long standing friend is busy but will help out as she has a chance
provided intelligent questions come her way so I want to have the bases
covered before contacting her.

Hi,
Does that translate to yes or no?

Thanks.

iPhone uses Objective C as its native language.  Doing accessible
programming requires Objective C and compliance with Cocoa standards.

Is it possible to do iPhone programming when completely blind? My
understanding is I will need to buy a mac. My experience with macs
consists of going through part of the voiceover tutorial and learning
just enough to add my self as a user on my friends computer using
voiceover. Any information on what type of System would be best for
iPhone programming is appreciated.
