Xojo Inc., the company formerly known as Real Software, has posted a video of an iOS app that was built with Xojo. Xojo is an object-oriented, cross-platform software development tool that enables developers to create software for OS X, Windows, Linux, the web and mobile.
The video showcases all the native controls and gives an overview of Xojo’s support for building iOS apps. Building native iOS apps with Xojo is the same as building a web or desktop app as you do today. You can view the video at http://tinyurl.com/nvexpk7 .
Developers can use the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of Xojo for free, and will only need to purchase a license once they want to build a distributable version of their application. Licenses are purchased per target platform, including Web, Desktop, Database, Console, and Xojo Pro, which is a bundle license that includes all deployment licenses plus an added support plan and more.
With Xojo, you can use one set of source code to support multiple platforms. There are over 40 user interface controls built in, allowing your app to look and behave how you’d want it to on any platform. On the web you can use one language to create your web app instead of HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, or AJAX.
Xojo 2013 Release 3 is currently available for download at www.xojo.com/download. Xojo is free to use for learning and development, and deployment licenses are available in the following options: Web (US$400), Desktop ($300), Database ($300), Console ($100), and Xojo Pro ($995).
