It's better to make a mistake than to be unable to figure it out.. ;)

Hi,

Is there going to be a Designer Cloud like in B4A for B4i ?

Also, what devices are you currently using to develop B4i with?

Yes (UI Cloud). But only after the first version is released.

Also, what devices are you currently using to develop B4i with?
Mainly an iPhone 5S and mini iPad. However I tested it on other devices as well.

If i already have a b4a app, which will the best way for have a b4i app ?

open b4a with b4i tools ?
start with b4i and move the code where is possible ?
in this case what could be the percentage di code recycled ?

I just tested it on my wifes' iPad, works fine !

I had a look at the code, but needs of course the knowledge of the Apple iOS.

Do you intend to change the extension of the main basic file from *.b4a to *.b4i to avoid confusion with B4A files ?

Hi Erel,
Is it a good idea for futures project iExamples that the IDE adds a little i in front of the zip file it generates. This will take many confusions when iExamples build-up in the same computer where b4a examples reside.
Bluetooth.zip=(b4a), iBluetooth.zip=(b4i)

This is a B4i project.

Trying to compare B4A code with B4i code..

Application_Background (B4i) = Activity_Pause (B4A)
Application_Foreground (B4i) = Activity Resume (B4A)

Are Classes going to be available in Version 1 of B4i ?
I am guessing that Services won't be available in B4i since Apple doesn't let you run the app in the background ?

Yes. The Geodesic module in the project I posted is a class (it is this B4A class exactly: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/30702/#content).

B4i modules types are the same as B4J modules: static modules and classes. The programs architecture is simpler than in B4A as we don't need to deal with activities and services.

Static modules in B4i and B4J can handle events.

New version of the coordinates calculator is now available in the app store
How long did it take you to get the app approved by apple when you submitted the app.

It shows the current position and allows you to share it with email or sms.
I didn't know a Apple app could send SMS messages, I thought Apple didn't allow it? Does it generate the SMS and then open the message app for you to press the send button on the device or does it send the SMS in the background within the app ?
