"Not Happening" Revisited

I haven't been able to post more pictures since my mosque one was accepted (yay!), but I did research an item I was wondering about for a long time - how to create an App Store application.

Why would I want to do such a thing? Well, I thought (and remember, thinking doesn't mean knowing) that if I created a Wallpaper app, I could bundle my images and sell them. I'd include different themes - maybe a flowers theme, a butterflies theme, a travel theme. I figured, who wouldn't want a picture like this?



Terrible, terrible idea (but a interesting research project). Here are the reasons:

1) Developing an iPad app seems to require an act of God. I haven't written code in years and years. Reading through the documentation to see what this would take was a scary experience.

2) I'd actually have to pay to access the development kit. Honestly, I'd never break even at that rate.

3) The wallpaper apps I'd seen were for free. Not much of an ROI for me.

Looks like I'll stick to the stock photography sites. And that's just fine.

Next time - my first accepted picture, and some findings.
