One point that the article doesn't mention is the iPhone Simulator, is a simulator: it simulates the iPhone environment. Simulators have both good and not so good points.
On the one hand they are pretty fast, since they use "host" code and "host" APIs.
On the other hand, since they use "host" API, you can't rely 100% on them. For example, the iPhone Simulator simulates the iOS OpenGL ES API using Mac OpenGL API. While developing cocos2d for iPhone I found many differences between the Simulator and the Device.
But in spite of that, I still suggest developing mostly everything on the Simulator, and every now and then to try the app on the device both to test the performance and "reality". |
