To get starting you must know what does the magic. Adobe Labs has started Adobe AIR® Packager for iPhone that offers the technical capability to have ActionScript 3 projects run as native applications for the iPhone 3.0 OS.

Adobe AIR® Packager for iPhone accelerates Flash conversion to Apple format (ipa). The '.ipa file extension stands for 'iPhone/iPod Touch Application' and is essentially a compressed data archive that is readable only by Apple devices.

  3. Submit applications for the App Store.

  2. Use a digital certificate file from a colleague (share the investment)

Later you convert this certificate to a P12 certificate file to sign the iPhone application you create using ActionScript 3.0.
