I am using B4A for android application since 2009.

I have windows CE application which is developed in Visual studio 2008 smart device application. Still its works fine but now there is no support for Visual Studio 2008.
Is it possible to develop Windows CE apps in Basic4PPC ??

This software has been abandoned more than 9 years ago, and there is no more support.
Maybe you could ask Erel if he can provide you the last version.

I recommend asking the manufacturer, Erel, directly
I don't think there are any particular problems with providing you with the latest working system

I think Erel has provided his reasons before but yes Windows CE/Pocket PC are no longer consumer products so there is no need to support a product that has little interest.

If you really want something similar, look at NS Basic. I believe they made it freeware.

You can get NS Basic here;

GitHub - nsbasic-archive/NS-Basic-for-WinCE: NS Basic/CE is a complete BASIC toolkit that lets you program on a Windows CE device or on your desktop.

NS Basic/CE is a complete BASIC toolkit that lets you program on a Windows CE device or on your desktop. - nsbasic-archive/NS-Basic-for-WinCE

github.com

As per the notes it was last updated in 2009 so if that works for you then go for it.

I converted over 30,000 lines of Windows Mobile VB to Android C#. Same could be done to convert to B4X. It's doable.
