Wish Will there be a Basic 4 iOS eventually?

[Levisvv]

Any idea if this will happen or when? I would be willing to pay extra for it.
How about Basic 4 Tizen? it shoudl be easy to port since the Tizen development SDK is so similar to Android.

 

[Erel]

Tizen is not similar to Android at all. The apps are written in Html 5 or C++.

About iOS. There might be support for iOS in the (not so far) future. If such a product will be released then it will be a new product (B4i).

Erel, please - don't do it! I don't know if I have the time to learn a new framework. First, Basic4PPC (for WM and Windows), then B4A followed by B4J and now maybe B4i. Simply too much.

Just kidding of course. If B4i becomes a reality, I will of course join that adventure as well just like I did with all your previous products.

All I can say to that is wow!

Erel - please charge more in the future for new platforms so progress won't hampered by resources. B4A is simply underpriced for it's power and convenience.

That would be a great addition to the developers' arsenal. I currently build for Mac and Windows using Real Studio (now Xojo), and they're planning iOS support. My heart sank, however, when I saw that the additional licence for building iOS is likely to be $400

WOW so cool!

I would love to see B4i. I eagerly await its arrival.

I hope at least a big portion of the code will be portable between B4A and B4I. And that there will be a solution for the fact you need a Mac to compile.

And that there will be a solution for the fact you need a Mac to compile.

This would be the biggest problem.
(virtual machine rocks)

 

[Erel]

And that there will be a solution for the fact you need a Mac to compile.

This is unavoidable. A Mac is required for building iOS apps.

 

[wimpie3]

There could be an alternative solution offered through a gateway though (either a Mac running in a virtual machine on your PC, or a "rented" Mac over the internet).

 

[Erel]

It is not possible to run a Mac on a PC. As I see it you will eventually need a Mac if you plan to develop iOS apps. All other solutions will be too cumbersome (especially with larger projects).

Mac Mini costs around $600.

Note that I would have been very happy to find a solution that doesn't require a Mac...

 

[MaFu]

If you have a fast pc OSX runs perfect in a virtual machine. Therefore i see no drawbacks (neiher on larger projects).
But this is a solution Apple doesn't like
(but i don't like Apples policy, so this is ok for me)

 

[Erel]

The compiler will need to run on a Mac. If you are able to virtualize it then it should be a good solution.

 

[MaFu]

Xcode runs in a virtual OSX (with VMware) without problems.

Great news, Erel, any idea of release date ????

[Erel]

Currently there is no public release date.

 

[wimpie3]

Compilation in the cloud IS a reality... http://macbuildserver.com/lite/

 

[Osi]

I am also interested as well. Just an FYI, people have been running OSX on PCs for years, even in virtual boxes You just need the knowledge.

On a side note, developing on a Mac just makes sense. I mean, we develop for Android (and windows) as it is. It makes sense to develop for and on the platform you are targeting (when possible).

Currently there is no public release date.

How will B4i will handle ios UI? I hope the ios native one, which is one of the best of that OS.

And Erel, please, just give an estimate date (late 2014...) ? too much suspense



Thanks and regards
