Hi,

through my first really promising experiences with B4J I now also got interested in getting my hands wet with developing for iOS/MacOS and with B4i.

I got the B4i license and a hosted Mac Builder account, but as of tomorrow also a Mac Mini to use as a local builder and I am currently wading through the 77 page Apple Developer documentation or rather "rule book".

In reading this I just stumbled across something in section 3.3.1 that caught my attention and made me think "wait a minute", here we go ...


Now, I may be wrong, but does B4i not have Java under the hood just as B4J does? And if so, what is the "temporal perspective" of developing for iOS/MacOS with something that ultimately is JAVA when Apple calls the same "deprecated"?

I would not mind the money I spent on the Mac Mini, but I would like to know things have a longer term perspective before I sign up for an Apple Developer account.

Thanks in advance for any advice on this,

Ingmar
