AM2 articles/XML feeds successfully converted into iPhone App Can't Post
So I have finally managed to convert my AM2 news articles and RSS feeds into an iPhone App.

It took an iPhone developer and $300 to do it but I think the end result is wonderful.

What I did is I created 5 different XML feeds, one for each category I wanted. I then created an other rule to output the articles in XML format. It took a while to figure out everything because of the special characters in articles but eventually everything came through.

I'm in the process of submitting the app to Apple for iTunes, which will cost an additional $99. I decided the app will be free....for now so there's certainly no income off this one. It's ad free as well....for now.

You can see a preview of how it looks at http://www.wrestling-online.com/iphone/preview/

I found the guy through GetAFreeLancer.com after several bids and long discussions.

Hi Colin

That's great! When I read your last post I didn't realize everything was already done.

This is a really neat script! I'll have to check it out on my iPhone :).

I'll post here when it's successfully submitted. I currently only have two betas which are locked to two different iPhones.

I'm happy to announce that our iPhone App which feeds off from the AM2 installed on the website is now LIVE on the Apple iTunes Store.

This App will list all the latest headlines and stories in four different categories for easy reading - WWE, TNA, MMA and General.

Download it for FREE at http://bit.ly/1XKN90

Any feedback would be appreciated especially from the IT guys.
