[Erel]

I'm happy to release a new version of B4A. This version brings an updated Android, Google, AndroidX and Firebase SDKs.
You must download an updated Android SDK + additional resources, in order to use the new version.

SDK instructions:

2. Download additional components: https://b4xfiles-4c17.kxcdn.com/b4a/resources_11_22.zip
It is recommended to use a tool such as 7zip to unpack the zip files.
The folders should look like this:

3. Download B4A v12.0: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
4. Tools - Configure Paths. Set the path to android.jar to android-33: <android sdk>\platforms\android-33\android.jar

Improvements:

1. Updated Android, Google, AndroidX and Firebase SDKs.
2. Updated libraries: B4XTable v1.23, B4XPages template, FirebaseAdmob2 v3.0, FirebaseAnalytics v3.0, FirebaseAuth v3.0, FirebaseStorage v3.0, FirebaseNotifications v3.0, AppCompat v4.02, USB v1.01, BCTextEngine v1.94, Phone v2.53, GooglePlayBilling v5.0, Core v11.81, NFC v2.02, DesignerUtils v1.04, Facebook v2.01 (external library.
3. Bug fixes and minor improvements.

[Erel]

Will be fixed. Thank you!

Dear Real and other B4A developers. Very very well done. MR Real, you are belonging among The most elite Android developers around The world. Thank you for this big improvement. B4A is making a very big joy to Me. And it is very probably The onlyone stable and so easy to learn Basic language dialect for Android platform. The biggest evidence of your professional programmers work is The big amount of active B4A forum users, who are sharing apps, who are discussing and who are helping to each others. So thqank you for your complex programmers work on B4A and all required libraryes and components.
