After many, many hours of intense work from "Nightwatch", the first independent "Hello World"* application has been compiled and launched on the Apple iPhone. This was made possible using the "ARM/Mach-O Toolchain", Nightwatch's "special project", that he has been working on so carefully over the past few weeks. Certain parts of the toolchain (such as the assembler) are being refined and tested and these will be released as soon as possible.
Nightwatch has been instrumental in creating these tools, working in near isolation to get them finished. Nightwatch was also responsible for the "jail exploit" that he developed from information he and other members of the the dev team discovered.
Please join us to thank Nightwatch, Tmiw and Darkten for making this happen.
*Note: The "Hello World" program is the first step in testing a development environment, compiler and other such tools, the "Hello World" illustrates that these tools are working correctly and this is commonly used to prove the concept of the tools that are being used.
