Please start new threads for programming questions / issues.

Ok. This is a surprise ! I'll have to watch the forums more carefully. This totally changes things, we were discussing hiring a ios developer the other day. I think its us that owe you pizzas erel ! Wow.
Will purchase today.

Would love to see a trial version

Congratulations!!! I need to purchase a new iPad first and get ready to start.

1. Do we need to purchase apple developer account $99/yr before using B4i?
2. Can we buy B4i first, develop/test/play for a while before deciding on distributing the app on apple store?

Thanks

 

[Erel]

@klaus please start a new thread for this issue.

@tcgoh
Yes, without the Apple certificate you cannot install the apps on the device which makes it impossible to develop with B4i.

Congratulations Erel, will be another who joins this new project.

Is there any place I can find out how I can use the MacinCloud service, and cost?

Thanks and good luck in the new job

You don't need this service during development. Only when you want to upload your app to the app store. The pay as you go plans should be good for this: http://www.macincloud.com/pricing/payg

Does B4i not provide the Trial Version for testing ?

No trial totally ruined the hype for me. No way to be sure it's actually what I want.

 

[Erel]

We will probably provide a trial version in the near future.

We do offer 30 days of full money back guarantee so you can also test the full version.

TCP/UDP Sockets available or not yet ?

 

[Erel]

TCP sockets are available: http://www.b4x.com/b4i/help/inetwork.html

great what about UDP it will be available this month ?

also wondering if IOS support background services ?

This could be huge! Especially with proper advertisement. A big barrier seems to be porting from one platform to another. If word gets out that B4A -> B4i does this with only having to understand one language, I can see a lot more people coming here. More people using Basic4? is better for all us.

You mean if I have a mac laptop I can't compile from anywhere? Only from home?

That should work, I was talking about a mac mini or so at home while you are somewhere else

I first thought the remote compile was a serious cost cutter to get started but someone on the chat mentions that you still need a mac just to upload the app to their store?

that would a stupid rule if that is the case.

 

[Beja]

No they are not stupid.. this company is smart.. they just want to sell mac to developers also..
I've never seen a company with such aggressive greed for money with no ethical limit.
We are using Windows to upload to Google play.
See Apple phone charger.. they changeit with eevery now model.. while Samsung use standard micro usb. Yoummust buy their cable every time you lose your cable.
