Is it possible to write an iPhone application in any language other than Objective-C?
- This has been covered in previous questions on SO, but the bottom line is that you need Objective-C for all the GUI aspects of your app but you can use other languages such as C++ for non-GUI code and link this code with your Objective C app.Paul R– Paul R2011-05-04 06:11:33 +00:00Commented May 4, 2011 at 6:11

Basically, there's 3 major options for iPhone/iOS programming:
- Objective-C
- MonoTouch (C# for iOS)
- Adobe AIR
There are probably some other possibilities (such as Unity, but that's for 3d game development and costs $99), but those are the major ones.

You can also use HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to build apps using a wrapper such as phonegap.com
