Sounds like you’re going to have to learn *alot* really quickly.
There is no *easy way*, especially when you want to distribute
things on the various App Stores.</blockquote>
I arrived to the same conclusion.<br>

so you can focus on the PD stuff, otherwise you’ll be spending a
long time getting the hang of things before you actually get to do
the actual app. Trust me.</blockquote>
I trust you. The thing is that, if I find a Mobile app developer,
the Pd part will be minimum compared to the rest of the development.<br>

Yes... in the list, is the most difficult to me. It's "another

<div class="">For platform specific stuff, work with native
Android and iOS directly. Both have great frameworks,
development environments, documentation, etc. libpd provides
project files to build for both. If the core of the work is in
the Pd patches themselves and the UI is mainly a thin skin, you
could share the same patches and just write the UI natively for
both platforms.</div>

More distant frameworks... more "distant worlds"...<br>

Well, I said "file", but it is data. Most likely 1536 bytes (256*6).
If I can't send this data, I won't can send the "start" command and
time-to-syncronize commands...<br>

<div>Again, you’re not going to use Bluetooth for this. Or at

Maybe... I'll ask the device developer.<br>

<div>I don’t know about this one. You’ll need probably have a

It looks very nice. And uses Python. For me, is "nearer".<br>

This will work out of the box for both iOS and Android with
the same core code. You just need to use the Project Generator
to create different built files for each platform. It’s
perfect for simple things but you will *have* to use native
code in order to create native GUIS.<br class="">

Learning C++ now? No, thank you! :P<br>
