We're working on an application that shows a 3d view of the world, but we also want a 2d map to be available to users. The 3d app is being designed and built by objective-c programmers working in xcode. Would it be possible to build the 2d map in flash, export it to ipa, and have that included into the xcode build? We can't really have two separate apps, cause a use would need to exit the 3d app to enter the 2d app. We'd like the 2d map to be a feature of the app.

I see a lot of vector graphics in native iOS apps. I don't use xCode but maybe it supports SVG? You can use Inkscape for editing SVG vector graphics and its free software.

Actually I've created the 2d map using svg graphics. Runs good in Safari on iphone. Unfortunately, it sucks when running inside an app, using Webkit. Apparently, Apple decided it was in their best interest to keep javascript extremely slow on apps using webkit. Thats what led management here to decide the map has to be made native to the iphone. Alot of developers are complaining about webkit being crippled, but Apple doesn't seem to be budging on this issue.
