Flet 1.0 is a framework enabling Python developers to build cross-platform applications for desktop, mobile, and web from a single codebase. It provides over 150 UI controls, supports existing Python libraries on mobile, and includes tools for packaging, testing, and flexible web deployment.
Minimal Phone 2 is a compact smartphone with a physical keyboard, a minimalist OS, and optional de‑Googled firmware. The page is a marketing spec sheet with no engineering details or evaluation.
CodeName One prepared for Android 17 (API 37) by addressing platform changes proactively, including fixing version number parsing and implementing the new system-rendered location button. They also added robust PEM key parsing and explicit task removal to simplify common security operations for app developers.
Shopify is abandoning React Native for native Swift and Kotlin development, driven by the improved quality of AI coding models and a looming refactor to React Native's New Architecture. This shift resulted in significant performance and stability gains for their flagship app, challenging previous cross-platform development tradeoffs.
Google's ADK for Kotlin 1.0 is a production-ready framework for building AI agents across Kotlin, Android, and JVM applications. It achieves feature parity with Python ADK, offering idiomatic Kotlin APIs for orchestration, tools, and memory, alongside new Android-specific on-device and hybrid AI capabilities.
Databricks outlines a four‑layer BYOD mobile security model—MDM enrollment (account‑driven user enrollment), identity‑based access with contextual signals, continuous zero‑trust posture checks via per‑app VPN, and managed‑app controls—while emphasizing employee privacy and transparent communication to drive adoption.
Codename One reduced startup latency and JavaScript overhead by publishing screen state atomically, indexing style lookups, avoiding unnecessary artwork generation, and refining suspension analysis, yielding measurable speedups.
A speculative preview of Apple’s upcoming iPhone Duo, summarizing hinted‑away SwiftUI/UIKit APIs (size classes, split view, tab‑bar placement, toolbar axis, badge, overflow) and advising developers to target iOS 27 SDK now while waiting for Xcode 27.1.
Codename One adds an invitation API that preserves a unique code through the install process on Android (via Play Install Referrer) and iOS (via App Clip) into the analytics stack. Create an Invite, register a listener at startup, and set a few build hints to get exact attribution without fingerprinting.
Codename One 8.0 adds two user‑experience primitives: **Cross‑Device Continuity** (state checkpointing + Apple Handoff + custom HTTP relay) and **Native Drag‑and‑Drop** (OS‑level drag using the same ClipboardContent model). The post shows the API (StateProvider, Continuity.checkpoint, NativeDragOperation), platform support tables, and practical advice on payload size, security, thread handling, a…
Codename One adds a one‑time‑code autofill component that leverages iOS, Android, and browser autofill APIs, eliminating the need for SMS‑reading permissions. The new `PhoneVerification` component handles phone entry, code entry, resend timing, and server callbacks, while the UI uses a single hidden editor to back six visual boxes, improving typing, paste, and accessibility. The post explains the…
The blog explains how Codename One updated its iOS jailbreak detector to handle modern rootless jailbreaks (e.g., palera1n, Dopamine). It replaces old file‑system probes with lstat checks, mount scans, and dual‑opinion API calls (libc vs raw syscall) to spot hidden bootstraps and instrumentation. It also reorders package‑manager URL‑scheme probes to prioritize Sileo, adds a background‑resume gate…
Codename One adds a read‑only DocumentProvider API that lets apps publish a virtual file tree to iOS Files and Android’s storage picker. The tree is defined with `DocumentNode` objects, can include remote‑only entries, and is shared via an App Group container. The iOS extension runs in a separate process, so the model is serialized and read independently; Android uses the same model inside the ap…
CodeScanner.scan() and VisionCameraView provide high‑level, async‑first APIs that hide the camera plumbing in Codename One, letting apps scan barcodes or run vision analyzers (faces, pose, segmentation) with a single call and without rebuilding native pipelines.
Codename One adds tapjacking protection to its Android runtime. It detects fully or partially obscured MotionEvents, offers four policies (OFF, REPORT, BLOCK, STRICT), can block the entire gesture, and on Android 12+ can request the system hide overlay windows. The API is exposed via `DeviceIntegrity.setTapjackingProtection` and a listener for state changes. iOS has no overlay threat, so the feat…
Codename One now ships a single, tested SQLite contract that works natively on Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, and in browsers via WebAssembly, with built‑in SQLCipher‑4 encryption supporting three key models. A conformance suite guarantees identical behavior across platforms, and migration helpers let legacy apps opt‑in. The update also adds a proper watch‑app model, DOM‑based text for JavaScript,…
Codename One adds a cloud‑side hardening step that runs on the merged JAR before it is split into Android, iOS, JavaScript, and desktop binaries. It can rename symbols, encrypt string literals, and insert opaque‑predicate control‑flow guards at configurable levels (off → standard → aggressive → paranoid). The transforms are selective per platform to avoid breaking optimizers, and a mapping is kep…
App Shield moves device‑integrity checks from the client to the server by obtaining a short‑lived ES256 attestation token from Apple App Attest or Google Play Integrity, verified by Codename One’s service, and required by the backend for protected API calls.
AWS’s weekly roundup (Sept 21 2026) bundles a set of product announcements: the Builder Center mobile app (iOS/Android) for browsing courses and workshops; Amazon Connect Talent GA (AI‑driven hiring); Corretto 27 GA (OpenJDK 27 with G1 GC, post‑quantum TLS, compact headers, JFR redaction); Kimi K3 on Bedrock (2.8 T‑param open LLM with vision and 1M‑token context); new T8i burstable EC2 instances…
Super Stack is an open‑source Laravel starter kit that bundles a web app, Filament admin panel, NativePHP mobile UI, and an MCP server. The repo targets Laravel 13, PHP 8.4+, and provides a one‑command install plus notes on unauthenticated MCP.
