Other B4i v2.0 BETA has been released

[Erel]

I'm happy to release the first beta version of B4i v2.00. This is a major update with many important improvements.
B4i is now based on the new IDE with the same advanced features as B4A v5.0 and B4J v3.0: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4a-v5-00-has-been-released.54653/

Other improvements:

• Support for iOS simulator. Note that the simulator is a Mac application so this feature requires using a local builder.
  The iOS simulator (unlike the Android emulator) is fast and very convenient to work with.
  An Apple account is not needed when working with the simulator.
  
• Smart strings literal: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-smart-string-literal.50135/#content
• Debug symbols. The release build now includes two new components:
  • dsym.zip - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3656391/whats-the-dsym-and-how-to-use-it-ios-sdk
  • iTunes Connect symbols inside the ipa file. With these symbols crash reports should be "symbolicated" automatically.
• Bug fixes.

Requirements

- Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0+ is required. If you are running Windows XP then you should install .Net Framework 4.0: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851

- Developers running Vista or above should install .Net Framework 4.5.2: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42642

- Developers using a local builder should update the builder to v2.0 and use Xcode 6.3+.

Users who are eligible for a free upgrade should receive an email with the download links.

This is a beta version. Make sure to backup your projects before loading them in the new version.
You can install B4i v2.0 in a different folder and keep both versions.

Thank you for your help with the development of B4X tools

Hello,
I have installed the latest version of B4i (2.00) then I saw this error when I tried to start the software.
Could you explain why and how I can solve this issue.

 

[Haris Hafeez]

This looks very good but I've already got an issue while installing this. The following popup gets presented when I run B4i.
EDIT: I also get the error in post 4 above.

1. Press ctrl + F or Edit - Quick Search.
2. You will need to run the local builder. You can use both the hosted builder and the local builder.
3. No. Other features not mentioned in the first post were not implemented.

If you are familiar with B4A v5.0 then this version includes some small features that are not available yet in B4A:

- You can change the logs font under Tools - IDE Options - Font Picker (change the target).
- You can open the designer directly from the files tab:

- New colors list in the designer:

Is it possible to move in the abstract designer without the taskbar?

Like holding down the CRTL button or middle mouse button.

I have big layouts and i need to move inside a lot and with the taskbar its not comfortable...

 

[Erel]

Yes. Press on Shift + one of the arrows. Note that you can also zoom in and out with the mouse wheel.

Thanks in advance.
