Now..... The big question is: Will you merge all of your IDEs into one? It would be really interesting.

Another question: Could you change the interface type to MDI? I'm not sure if you know how to do it with tabs, but here's a link anyway. (I've never seen an app that has an MDI interface in tabs.)

There are no plans for now to merge all three IDEs into a single IDE. The IDEs are very light-weight. You can install each of the tools in a single minute (visual studio for example can take a couple of hours). I don't see many advantages for merging them into a single tool.

The coming B4i IDE will look the same as the current B4A and B4J IDEs.

All three are supported. You can see it here: http://www.b4x.com/b4i/documentation.html

Erel, just a question, assuming answer is yes: does B4i uses all the natives controls of IOS:
Bar, Content views, controls... as described in apple human Interface documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library....html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH12-SW1

Thanks and happy birthday to B4A

Great thanks! Also Admob interstitials would be very useful, banners are not so profitable now

B4A will soon celebrate 4 years. It will take time for B4i to reach the same level.

Yep, 4 years... Sorry, I couldn't resist...

It'll use native + the custom controls showed off. Just like B4a which also uses native controls.

Erel · Oct 2, 2014

Most of the native views are available: http://www.b4x.com/b4i/help/views.html
UITabBarController will also be available in the first version.

Note that a Mac is not required. The IDE will only run on Windows.

Is this true? I won't need a Mac to use B4i? I thought the first post said a Mac would be needed.

Hi Erel,
I develop custom databases for large retail customers. They should be seen in any AppStore. Currently about 100 Galaxy Note 3 are in use. If we could offer the databases for iPhones, which would of course be great. Do we have to go in this case, also through the Apple developer account or is there an alternative to get the apps on the iPhone?
greeting
Günter

All ios development for public consumption must go through the AppStore. That is a requirement from Apple. I believe there are some exceptions if you are only developing in-house-only application.

Hi Erel,
1- B4A required that we install java.. will B4i require from us to install Objective-C?
2- Is it possible that Anywhere Software provide an installation package to automate the installation and configuration of all components?
Thanks in advance

Osi · Oct 3, 2014

I think I can answer #1 ... Objective-C does not run on windows, it is a Mac only product.

The iOS developer program provides the possibility to distribute an app without the app store through the "ad hoc" distribution. I have no experience of that particular feature, but you can probably find out more at https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/distribute.html

https://developer.apple.com/library...p.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH8-SW4 and search for "ad hoc".

@Osi
So we need to develop in Windows and compile in Mac with Objective C installed?
Still the question is do we need to install Objective C (in Mac or Windows)?

You must have Objective-C installed on a Mac to be able to build the app and then upload it to the iTunes Store.
