SpiderBasic 2.50 is out !

[Dirk Geppert]

Many thanks Fred for the further development!


I just read today that Apple finally supports Progressive Web Apps with iOS 16.4. That's a huge gamechanger.


@Fred: are you already planning to support PWAs?

[Fred]

I didn't took a look yet how to build a PWA, but I don't think it would be that difficult.

The innosetup stuff should be fixed for the next beta.

Hi Fred,

thanks a lot for making some of my wishes like #PB_Compiler_App and the "Keep app directory" come true!

Sadly this new version doesn't really work:

• the Windows installer has overwritten the existing and working SB 2.4 directory, but doesn't work in this dir compiling for Android

• compiling for iOS doesn't work on macOS 13.2 (Intel), on my iMac I get "Cordova needs to be installed....", on the MacBookPro I get a "compiled crashed" really fast, on both the "Check Xcode..." function only shows"install-cordovan.sh couldn't be opened, because (null) isn't allowed to open documents in terminal" (my translation from german), on both Cordova is installed and worked with macOS 12.x

I really hope for a better working beta.

Greets, hoerbie

Beta 2 is available with some fixes. It should also resolve install issues on Windows !

Not for this release obviously

Hey Fred, could we get an example of how to self sign an APK?

This use to be super easy with previous version but now with 2.50 beta when I try to sign the APK it will not install on Android Phone.
If you had an example that would be quite useful to point me in the right direction

[Fred]

I will try and let you know. Does an unsigned debug enabled apk install correctly on your phone ?
