After working all night on getting xCode and the iPhone toolchain to work correctly. I managed to get a wifi scanning app working at about 3am. It is very basic, and all it will do is show the MAC address and the SSID. It’s nothing special, but it is one of the first steps I needed to complete for this app to be useful.

Now that I have if spitting out MAC addresses, I need it to contact my database of known MAC addresses to GPS coordinates. I don’t really know how I’m gonna do this but I hope to have something semi working soon. After I get to this point, I’ll be almost half way done. I will need to design an easy to use interface, because all iPhone apps need to be easy to use and since I suck at design, how about someone send me some mock ups? Thanks.

Here is a screen shot of the wifi scanning in action. It’s basically just a wifi scanning utility at the moment.
