Major New Features

  1. VoltServer support added. Replaces AppStudio Server, adds powerful new features.
  2. Bootstrap framework added. Bootstrap is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web. It's well thought through and is easy to use with AppStudio. For more information, see Introduction to Bootstrap.
  3. Support for Google Drive API. Now you can access files on your Google Drive from AppStudio. One interesting application is to use Google Spreadsheets as a database for your app. You can add, delete and update rows in the spreadsheet from AppStudio.
  4. Nested controls: Up till now, you could only put controls one level deep in Containers. Now you can put Containers inside of Containers - and there are more controls which can act as containers. Any level of nesting is possible.
  5. Drag and Drop in the Design Screen: Use this to easily add children to containers.
  6. Support for Stripe Payments: Stripe is an easy way for your app to get payments by credit card. No special bank account is needed.
  7. Billing: AppStudio is now distributed using a subscription, as well as a flat license charge.

Upgrading

If you have AppStudio 5 or older, you will need to get the upgrade to use these new features. You can order it here.

Version 6.0.0

Version 6 has been released! Here's a list of what is new: All items are subject to change.

If you own a previous version of AppStudio, you need to buy the upgrade to use Version 6. You can do this from within the app or from our order form.

Until you have bought the upgrade, you can use AppStudio 6 in Demo mode for up to 30 days. Once you buy, your copy will convert automatically to the full version.

IDE - General

  1. Mac: AppStudio can now be executed by any user.
  2. Save preserves the entire environment, not just the app itself.
  3. View Menu: checkmarks are now updated properly.
  4. Copy and paste of Containers and Forms now gives controls unique names.
  5. License Agreement expanded to include VoltServer Terms of Service.

Code Window

  1. Code version bumped to 6. Projects will take longer to compile first time they are run.
  2. Statements with the word 'Declare' in them are translated properly.
  3. JavaScript: Property Window Event does not create new event handler if one exists.
  4. JavaScript: Shows all functions in the Functions window.
  5. Obsolete properties are being cleaned out of .nsx files in new code version. Keep a backup!

  2. Rotate screen refreshes properly.
  3. Adding a control in Responsive mode now only adds 'float:left;' if needed.

A lot of cleanup was done to controls. Refactoring was done in the Toolbox files to reuse common code and make controls more constant.

  3. Attribute property is now an edit window.

Project

There are a number of changes to Project Properties. The most visible is that the user will no longer be asked if a new version of the app should be installed - it just happens, unless the newVersionWarning property is set to true. Setting FastClick to false will make your app smaller and a bit faster to load. Setting enableBrowserArrows to false will give your app a shorter URL.

  1. Properties: enableAppScrolling: needs to be true for jQM Swipe.
  2. Properties: enableBrowserArrows now defaults to false.
  3. Properties: Fastclick defaults to false. Most browsers don't need it anymore.

  9. Properties: StopOnError works properly at runtime.

Forms

  1. New Project: Form type added for Responsive Forms. Forces relative positioning.
  2. Properties: OpenMode behaves properly at runtime. (Set this one to false if your form appears incorrectly at startup.)

Deploy

We've reorganized how the project is written out when deployed. Operationally, everything works as before. When you open the project in the Chrome Debugger, you'll notice the differences. Your code is now in a file of its own called code.js. All the code generated by AppStudio stays in index.html. Any JavaScript code modules are kept as discrete files instead of being merged into index.html. The result is that it will be much easier to find your work in the deployed project. Load times for your app may go down due to caching.

We've also fully implemented https for all our web services.

  1. Deploy to VoltServer added.
  2. Manage your VoltServer App added.
  3. Sign-up/Sign-In into VoltServer added.
  4. Many changes to runtime code organization to make code more readable and easier to debug.

  8. External scripts remain as external scripts: they do not get merged in main app.
  9. If obfuscation fails due to syntax errors, AppStudio recovers gracefully.
  10. JavaScript code modules are no longer merged in index.html, to make generated app easier to read and debug.
  11. Open app after local deploy fixed.
  12. Remove iOS startup image code - no longer supported in iOS.
  13. Unicode in deploy path should work now.
  14. User code is now deployed to its own module called code.js, loaded by index.html.
  15. Chrome Apps deprecated. Google is dropping support
  16. Deploy to Dropbox deprecated. Dropbox no longer will let you deploy apps from Dropbox folders.

PhoneGap

We've made a number of changes to make PhoneGap easier to use. The workarounds which were needed to deal with new features of PhoneGap or new browser requirements are now included. The new QR code on the BuildStatus screen is a big timesaver!

Changes to configxml will not be applied automatically. Grab a fresh configxml from a new project and paste it into your existing project to get all the latest features.

  1. 'No content-security-policy' warning no longer needs a workaround.
  2. New properties added so Status Bar workaround no longer needed.
  3. BuildStatus: Now displays QR Code to download directly to Android device.
