Kodular IOS Builder

[Akshat_Apoorv (Akshat)]

As written in the latest kodular premium post we can see they wrote why stop at Android so obviously they will bring iOS builder so my question is when will the update come like can we get any date or month

Thank you

Unknown, we’re excited

The Android builder doesn’t even work properly and is full of bugs that have gone unfixed for months, even years.

Why do you want an iOS builder until they can prove they can do Android right?

Also, extensions won’t be allowed in iOS.

Also also, there is no guarantee of iOS, they may be talking about web apps.

[almeidapablo (Pablo A. Rod.)]

surely not in the next months. Actually no doubt it will take months for the staff to correct the bugs and update components… If they work right.

To recreate these many components in sdk would take even more time.
Not to mention that all the extensions would have to be recreated by the developers too. In the best dreams it would take 1-2 years to see a iOS builder working well

[Akshat_Apoorv (Akshat)]

Thats a great thought but lets just give them a chance

[Akshat_Apoorv (Akshat)]

Thats true

Kodular Android Bulder Is Best Go To Thuncable IOS builder Available

This is not true, existing extensions will only work on Android until the developer adds support for iOS as well
In addition, the extensions will only be able to work after the application is built and not in the companion

@deanart2012

Also also, there is no guarantee of iOS, they may be talking about web apps.

Also not true, Kodular will have to wait for App Inventor to finish working on their version of iOS and only then will Kodular be able to start working on their version - the App inventor version creates an native iOS application - all components are already written in Swift

If ios came definitely it will be ugly to develop apps for few months in it.

This is not true

It is true (at least for now, see here).

“… on iOS until the extension dev has rewritten it into Swift”

It is still unclear whether it will ever be approved for iOS (compiled app, IPA).

@Point

No, see e.g. here:

Generic Discussion about Kodular Premium

This will (most likely) never happen. Kodular has already strayed way too far from AI2. (By the way, this will also take longer with AI2, although it was already announced for the fall semester 2021 that the build server would then be available). Apart from that, no extensions can be used with iOS. If this should ever be possible, all extensions would have to be rewritten in Apple’s programming language “Swift” (instead of Java).

Apple approval? (Of course Apple allows this). App inventor is still working on the compiler for iOS and it is currently only open to beta testers

@Johannes_Ai2

No , see e.g. here:

You indicate the obvious

Yes, I know, but can you compile an app / build the IPA, that contains extensions?
I don’t think so, at least it didn’t work for me.

[Point (Tomer)]

Extensions built for iOS Yes, but as far as I know there is no explanation for how to do this.

[Gordon_Lu]

@Point

Yes

No, sorry, it is not yet possible. From what I heard from Anke in the App Inventor community, there is an experimental IPA builder for App Inventor, but that topic was moved to the Power User category. However,
