iOS 5 ready

With the major announcements of Apple around iOS 5 to be released in September, we are happy to provide the OpenPlug community with an early support of the iOS 5 beta together with XCode 4.
Using OpenPlug Studio CR 12, you will be able to generate apps for iOS 5. Log in to the Apple iOS Dev Center to get the latest iOS 5 SDK beta including XCode 4.

Talking about Apple updates, note that OpenPlug Studio now fully supports Mac OS X Lion.

Android 3.2 (HoneyComb) is here

Android 3.2 is here and you can use OpenPlug Studio to create apps for devices running Android 3.2 such as the ASUS EeePad. Check the Android Developers website for details on the Android 3.2 version.

How to get your OpenPlug apps on Android 3.2? Just rebuild your existing apps with the new OpenPlug Studio CR 12. Your new apps will support it by default when created with the CR 12 release.

Build time optimization

Following some common requests on the developer forum, we are working on reducing the build time to get you even more productive (and reduce your coffee consumption;-)). Our first achievement - coming in OpenPlug studio CR 12 - is a drastic optimization of the build for target. When building again for a given platform, only the source files that were modified will be recompiled.

Check out the release notes for more details.

New UICatalog for tablets

The UICatalog application - that contains code snippets and samples for your reference - has been updated for tablets. Its layout now relies on the SplitView UI control which makes the sample app take the best of the tablet orientation: list displayed in a split-view in landscape mode and full-screen view with pop-over list in portrait mode.

For implementation details, please refer to the UICatalog sample application using the OpenPlug Studio "import sample" button.
