Hey everyone, since I got my iMac G4, I have wanted to get a retro iPhone development workstation setup. While PPC Macs were never supported for iPhone development, I did see tutorial online for how to force install it. Like the one on Macintosh Garden / Repository. However, those were only the iPhone OS 2.2.1 SDK and I could not deploy to device using those tutorials. So after much much fiddling with Xcode (I must have reinstalled Xcode like 20 times 
), I finally got it working!
It runs the iPhone Simulator for iPhone OS 2.2.1 but it builds and compiles and deploys with the iPhone OS 3.1.3 SDK to my original iPhone running iPhone OS 3.1.3! I'm super excited and so I made a brief tutorial for it. I still need to make the second part of the tutorial where you prepare the iPhone to be deployed to, but I wanted to get the first part of it out there and see if people were interested.
Please let me know if you have comments, concerns, problems etc. Thanks so much! -Jeff

Enabling iPhone Development for PowerPC Macs
Apple always officially required an Intel Mac to do iPhone app development, but I figured out how to get the iPhone OS 3.1.3 SDK installed for developing Original iPhone and iPhone 3G apps on your PowerPC Mac.
