appery_io

The entire Exadel team is super excited to launch Appery.io.

First, some history. Appery.io has come a very long way since its roots as a prototype-building tool. Because of its heritage, the service is great at rapidly building mobile apps using a visual IDE. However, the product is now a complete cloud-based platform with integrated backend services and a rich catalog of plug-ins that make it easy to integrate with cloud services (including enterprise systems such as Salesforce.com). We are introducing a new brand to reflect the evolution of Appery.io as well as to support where our platform is headed. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted: April 8th, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: General | No Comments »

We’re partnering with VisionMobile for their new Developer Economics survey to help them extend their reach and make sure more developers have a chance to make their voice heard. The survey reaches across thousands of app developers and provides the data for VisionMobile’s well-known reports on the state of the developer nation.

Now in its 5th edition, the new Developer Economics survey examines some of the hottest issues of mobile development, such as top mobile platforms, most widely used revenue models, and web vs. native development.

The report will be available for free to the entire mobile community in July.

If you’re an app developer, take the 10-minute survey for a chance at some  great prizes. VisionMobile has 7 devices up for grabs (one iPhone 5, two Samsung Galaxy S III, two Nokia Lumia 920 devices, and two BlackBerry Dev Alpha handsets).

Take the survey now!

New Features: Source View, jQuery Mobile Themes with ThemeRoller, Android Permissions, New Components, and Pointer/Array Data Types in Database

Posted: January 24th, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: Features, New release | Tags: , | 1 Comment »

We just added some really cool features to Appery.io Platform. Check them out!

New Source view

As we continue to make Appery.io Platform enterprise-level, just just added a Source view where you can see and open the actual files behind your app. Right now the files are opened as read-only but we are working on allowing you to modify them as well.

jQuery Mobile themes

We got all our custom themes back and you can also create new themes using the jQuery Mobile ThemeRoller tool. Simply create your theme in the tool, download and then upload to Appery.io. It’s that simple.

jQuery Mobile ThemeRoller site:

Once you create a new theme, select Create New > Theme and upload the theme you created.

Android permissions

You no longer need to email support to find out why the binary build failed. You can now view the error and try to fix it:
