Introducing the EE Insider iPhone App
Yesterday during my talk at EECI 2010, I announced a new way to get EE Insider content: a native iPhone app.
This was possible because of a collaboration with my team Happy Cog and our work to create a streamlined process for our clients to make their site content available in a custom branded iPhone app.
The iPhone app is easily hooked into ExpressionEngine 1.6 and 2 using a custom module we built that allows the site admins to control which sections of the site appear in the app, what icon they use and more. The visual look of the content areas is also customizable from the server. We’ve made it simpler to go from EE to iPhone.
While the application is customized by Happy Cog, clients will still need to create a $99/year iPhone developer account so they can distribute the application under the company name or brand.
EE Insider is excited to offer this new app and to take part in the first launch of this new Happy Cog offering.
Let us know how you like the app!

Exciting!
I can’t wait to see what this new module from Happy Cog is like! More info please!

Ryan,
That looks really rad.
I’m curious if Happy Cog created the app as a “from-scratch” Objective C app or used a more web-based approach (like the jQtouch library).
Thanks for sharing.

Zachary, it’s a native iPhone app and we created the app from scratch using all of the standard iPhone development tools (Obj C, etc).

That’s awesome.
