LONDON, April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- MARMALADE 6.0
RELEASE HERALDS A BRAND NEW APPROACH TO HYBRID APPS -
Marmalade, the world's most powerful cross-platform SDK for
native mobile apps, today throws open the doors to HTML5 and
PhoneGap developers with the launch of Marmalade 6.0.
Established as a "power tool" for native apps and games,
Marmalade has helped to deliver some of the richest, most complex
and most successful apps simultaneously to iOS, Android, BlackBerry
and a host of other mobile and Smart TV platforms. With this latest
release, Marmalade unlocks and makes all of that native power
available to web developers, creating for the first time the
opportunity to exploit the dual strengths of HTML5 and
cross-platform native code.
"We believe hybrid apps combining web and native technologies
are the future, but not as they've been known up to this point,"
says Tim Closs, CTO at Marmalade.
"With Marmalade 6.0, we're starting to redefine what hybrid apps
can achieve with native API breadth and power. Marmalade has always
been about open standards, so HTML5 and PhoneGap are natural
choices for us. But with our unparalleled experience of
cross-platform native apps, and our patented single-binary
architecture, we're creating for web developers a brand new
opportunity - use existing HTML5 technologies and frameworks, but
access all the power of cross-platform native code."
With Marmalade 6.0, developers can create mobile apps in HTML5,
CSS3 and JavaScript, and deploy them simultaneously as native apps
to iOS and Android - without moving between platform SDKs, and
without switching between Windows and Mac. For example, Windows
developers can create, test, debug and deploy iOS apps locally and
entirely from a Windows PC environment. Developers can preview
their mobile apps within a lightning-fast desktop device simulator,
fully integrated with the Chrome JavaScript debugger and Web
Inspector tools.
In keeping with Marmalade's tradition of supporting the latest
devices released in the market, Marmalade 6.0 also supports the new
iPad Retina display.
Marmalade 6.0 is available for a full and free evaluation at
madewithmarmalade.com.
