It’s only been a week since LiveCode for Android was (pre)released and already the response has been terrific. Everybody is really excited about writing cross platform apps, or leveraging existing iOS apps to the Android market for an increased revenue stream. I’ve been getting lots of positive feedback from journalists, emails from customers and even from twitter. My favorite response was from a customer over the phone who simply said: “Wow”. We feel the same.
Here’s what some other people said:
“This is an excellent development, made even more so in that the installation
was quick, painless and the thing just works! Thanks, LiveCode Team, another great milestone met!”
– Jim Lambert, LiveCode Customer.
You’re welcome Jim, we’ve worked really hard to make it as easy and as powerful as possible.
For anyone who struggles we have some quick and simple Android lessons to get you started.
“Now that Android is supported LiveCode looks interesting as a quick and easy route to cross-platform mobile apps”
-Tim Anderson says on his blog.
He’s quite right, having a cross platform development strategy is hugely beneficial to mobile developers. RunRev are thrilled to bring you just that with LiveCode Mobile.
“The challenge has always been trying to develop for many different platforms with a single code base. They must support a rich back-end system.”
– Bola Rotibi, research director at Creative Intellect Consulting, quoted in the SD Times
LiveCode does indeed have a rich back end system that allows you to deploy to multiple devices, not just mobile, from a single codebase.
“Applications can be delivered and developed very quickly because LiveCode is a compile-free program, the application is always running even as new functionality is added, “
– Victoria Reitano, SD Times
“Also compliant with iOS, web and desktop operating systems, LiveCode is positioned as an iterative compile-free coding environment with the option to view changes in real time”
– Adrian Bridwater, Dr Dobbs
One of the best things about LiveCode is that it allows dynamic development with changes happening in real time.
“I hope to have some android apps built with LiveCode to show off at Google IO in May”
– Erik Schwartz, LiveCode Customer, via twitter
We hope Erik does too, and we’ll give him all the help we can to reach that goal.
With the rise in Android popularity and the monetization options offered by Android apps stores now is the time to get started on those Android Apps.
“It’s looking impressive for the first pre-release – well done! Looks like I’ll have to start shopping for an Android Device ”
– John Craig, LiveCode Customer.
Thanks John! We’re really proud of the new pre-release. Buying an Android device now will be a sound investment! With LiveCode for Android you’re sure to be selling Android Apps in no time.
