Hello,
I wish to start new project in UDK for iOS deploy, so I need help. I download almost all video tutorials from 3DBuzz, and I must say that I was stunned , but as I see al of them are writen for UDK PC projects, so on top of that I wish to use them for learnning how to create games for iOS, in first place. I am registrated Apple iOS developer , and I produce few games for iOS devices using Unity and native Objective C + OpenGL ES, so programming it's not a something totally unknown for me, also I own iPhone 4 and 3G for device testing. But the problem was that I never use UDK , I use Unity for one of my project but I realize the huge potentional of UDK, so I decide to learn UDK and give my best to learn UDK.

First I realy don't now how to start, so I think that lot's of user will come for some time and have simmilar question, so for my needs and other needs I will ask a few newbie questions, and i have hope that UDK community will help me :

1)
First when I install UDK december release I see that it comes with additional UDK Mobile Editor, and UDK Mobile Game, what's the difference, I start Editor and it's looks like standard UDK editor for PC games develop. And when I start UDK game it's start Epic Citadel.
2)
How do I setup my project to start, what do I need to do, which options do I need to include. The first proces of any game develop in UDK i think it's start from basic step, and that steps are properly setup a project, please help.

That's for now all, later I will have some more questions.

Thanks

First off, welcome to the UDK community, always great to see another person learning to use the engine.

The UDK Mobile Editor functions as your main editing tool and in there you will pretty much build your game.

The UDK Mobile Game executable is just your game, how it would run when played in its entirety. It runs the Epic citadel demo because its the source code included with the Mobile UDK, so when you alter the source code and put in your own content, it wont run Epic Citadel any more, but instead runs the things you have put in.

Look at the following tutorials to properly prepare for making an iOS UDK game:

For building basic UDK stuff and understanding it, simply refer to the main UDN site for the normal UDK:

Developing iOS games with UDK is pretty much the same as developing a UDK game for the PC, just use the Mobile UDN to avoid the shortcomings of iOS UDK.
