thanx Erel.

i have a small question, please. i have updated all my apps with the beta version (b4i 4.40 beta) because i didnot knew when the finished version will be ready.
so should i now compile all apps again with the new version or there should not be any problems with the beta?

Nice!!!

No need to compile again. There was a bug related to image files starting with "icon". Such images caused errors during compilation so it is not relevant if your apps compiled properly.

There was also an important fix related to libraries with modules, however the issue only happened in debug mode (and the issue existed for many versions).

Hi Erel,
I have this issue:
When I compile with Version 4.40 and try to build B4Bridge App this error comes:
File 'C:\Users\Manuel\Desktop\AppGP\iOSApp\Objects\src\Images.xcassets\AppIcon.appiconset\icon-store-1024.png'already exists.

This does not happen if Build Release App
What can I do to solve this.

Thanks in advance
Regards,
Manuel

I see this issue. It is fixed for the next update.
You have two options for now:
1. Temporary remove icon-store-1024.png from <project>\Files\Special, build the bridge and copy it back.
2. Create a new project. Change the package name and build the bridge.

Once you install B4i-Bridge you can use it with all your apps.

for B4i v4.40 ,i can work only with xcode 9.0 or still need to keep xcode 8.0 on my local server

 

[Erel]

Both Xcode 8 and 9 are supported. Xcode 9 recommended. Xcode 8 not needed.

 

[Jorge M A]

Is there a trial version?

 

[Erel]

There is no trial version available for B4i. However we offer 30 days of full money back guarantee.

It sounds fair! I'll try it soon. Thank you.
