You can discuss the release of the first version of B4i here.

Please start new threads for programming questions / issues.

That should work, I was talking about a mac mini or so at home while you are somewhere else

I first thought the remote compile was a serious cost cutter to get started but someone on the chat mentions that you still need a mac just to upload the app to their store?

that would a stupid rule if that is the case.

Just use MacInCloud?

Must the application that is built be sold on "itunes" or can it be used privately for our company. Does apple allow you to make an application; get it certified; but just use it for your own people?
Also does anyone know about how to get thru the apple process?

after u have registered to apple and created an iOS dev account (99$/year) you will be able to use up to 100 test devices, but this is only for testing..
there is also a possibility to invite up to 1000 tester to test your app (check in iTunesconnect/YourApp/Prerelease)

you will get the finished *.ipa file via b4i but only jailbroken iPhones would be able to install it, why not just load it to the App Store and offer it for FREE??

For internal distribution, use the iOS Enterprise Program.

Some apps aren't suitable for the App Store.

What is the reason that IO7 is the minimum requirement?

Could get an iPhone3 for free but it's not IOS7 I think.

Nope, you need an iPhone that's capable of running iOS 7. You could always get an iPhone 5c for free or an iPhone 5S (Touch ID) for $99 on contract.

 

[sorex]

not in my retarded country (Belgium).

you need a subscription of 45 euros per month for 24 months and then you still need to pay extra for the phone.

I pay 10 now, so that 35 difference *24 = 840 + that extra fee. Far from free tho, no thanks

it's cheaper to just buy it like that but it's too much for me now.

 

[Erel]

95% of the devices run iOS 7+: https://developer.apple.com/support/appstore/
This number will increase in the future.

There are big differences between each version which means that it is not simple to support them with a single code base.

 

[Matt the Guy]

So when iOS8 [edit: I meant future iOS releases, like 9, etc. Woops] is released, do you expect there will be a long wait for b4i to be upgraded to support it?

I'm looking forward to trying b4i sometime soon, but I've only just discovered and bought b4a! I wish I had known about this a long time ago! You're very clever, Erel

 

[ilan]

b4i supports ios7.0+ that means also ios8...

 

[susu]

I purchased B4i but there's no email for download link. How long it takes to get this email?

 

[Erel]

It should be 10 minutes. Please contact [email protected].

 

[shasunder]
