Adrian Bridgewater from Dr Dobb’s outlines the new dilemma for mobile developers:  with the growth of Android and the entrenchment of iOS how do you know who to develop for?

“For one British software development company, the answer seems to be: Do both.”   With the launch of LiveCode for Android this week, to compliment our hugely successful LiveCode for iOS deployment pack, developers no longer need to chose between platforms; LiveCode’s MultiPlatform Mobile deployment empowers developers to “tap into the lucrative apps market” – both Android and iOS, with a write once, deploy anywhere model.  This means that “developers can create apps for Android and then port them to the iOS platform without recoding…. development time can be dramatically shortened.” 

This announcement was greeted with excitement and applause by developers at RunRevLive.11 – LiveCode developers and new LiveCode users are as excited as we are about leveraging the growth of Android while at the same time deploying to the already hugely successful iOS market.
