If you are working with Haskell and making iPhone apps, or if you intend to soon, please fill in your info below. By helping each other out, we can work more productively and have more fun.

There are at least two ways to use Haskell to make iPhone apps. One is having a Haskell-to-iPhone compiler, which would probably cross-compile from another host environment (probably Mac OS X). Another way is to write Haskell programs that generate iPhone-compatible code when run (rather than when compiled), based on an embedded DSL, similarly to Compiling Embedded Languages.
Resources
- Free iPhone ideas (blog by Chris Eidhof)
- HOC Haskell to Objective-C binding
- Reactive DSL currently with JS backend. We might be working on Objective-C backend during Hack-ɸ.
- Stanford course: iPhone Application Programming, with online notes, code, and lecture video.
- Haskell Objective-C FFI proposal (work-in-progress)
GHC as a cross compiler
Now that GHC can be used as a cross compiler again we should document what is left in getting GHC to compile apps for the iPhone.
- Can the RTS be ported to the iPhone?
- How much work is this?
- Do apps have to be signed in some way?
