Looking for this year's event?  Check out the 2015 RIT iOS App Challenge.

 

If you're interested in learning Objective-C or improving your existing knowledge, this is the coding competition for you.  We're planning training sessions to provide you with a crash course to learn the language and Xcode.  We'll have Apple engineers on-site in the evenings for office hours if you get stuck or have technical questions.  This is also an awesome opportunity for you to add a project to your resume and then get your resume reviewed by an Apple recruiter.  The top team will win a MacBook Air for each member of the team.

If you don't want to participate but instead just want to watch the final demos and awards ceremony, reserve a ticket.

Eligibility

Registration is restricted to currently enrolled (as of January 29, 2014) students of the Rochester Institute of Technology.  Students from other area 4-year universities may be allowed to participate; e-mail challenge@apple.com for details.

Requirements

Submit a working .xcodeproj with all supporting files, zipped up, to ChallengePost with your submission before the deadline.  A logo or icon representing your app is also required as part of the submission.  Your app will be compiled on our computers and pre-installed on an iPad for the final awards ceremony.
