You are killing us...

I'm quite happy with the progress. There is not much that can be demonstrated for now but here is a simple demo that I recorded:


Note that the device is not connected with a cable to any computer.
The debugger is almost fully working. You can put breakpoints, monitor the variables and run watch expressions.

It is better to watch this movie in full screen.

Top Erel!!! You can be super happy, do you want an alpha tester?

Erel,

Great to see the progress. Keep the demos coming. Let's us know when we can purchase and participate in beta testing.

Nice work Erel.

All you need now is to make B4A, B4J, and B4I all in one package and call it 'Anywhere Studio'.
Then it will make it easy to choose between which one we want to use.

Embacardero, you found your master!

Some new video with the progress of the b4i?

 

[Erel]

I will keep you posted. The progress is quite good. Most of the work done now is on lower level features so there is not much to show.

Yes. You must first sign to Apple developers program ($100 per year). This allows you to upload apps to the AppStore and to install your apps on up to 100 specific devices.

Hi Erel,
Trying to live with that, I have a couple of questions:
1- 100 specific devices means unique devices, right? then how about multiple installations in one specific device (for testing), are they counted as a single installation?
2- If I installed it in more than 100 devices, how much are they going to charge me for the additional installations? or they will disable or delete them remotely?
thanks in advance.

 

[Erel]

1. Yes. 100 specific devices with any number of apps.
2. You will not be able to install on more than 100 devices. You can only remove devices from this list at the end of the license cycle (yearly).

However there is another option which is not very expensive: https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/

100 devices means for testing only??

 

[Erel]

Yes.

Is B4I going to allow you to write apps for a Mac or only iOS?

 

[CidTek]

Is B4I going to allow you to write apps for a Mac or only iOS?

The answer is in the "i"

 

[Erel]

That is correct. B4i will target iOS devices only.

Note that you can use B4J to develop Mac apps.

 

[Erel]

Progress update: Build server (written with B4J), keys handling and over the air installation features are now mostly working.

 

[ilan]

great news, every progress are great news...

will it have also his own designer like B4A? do we need a macbook to upload the app to the appstore? (i know that for programming it will work only on windows) but upload the app file will be able also with a windows pc?
