4D FOR IOS is coming soon!

Do you need to extend your 4D application to mobiles? Are you in a business where you need to constantly check, for example, unpaid invoices or customer quotes? Perhaps you also need to perform a quick search for a product reference to answer a customer? They’re all simple actions that can be performed from a mobile device. And 4D for iOS is the perfect tool for this!

The 4D for iOS product was announced during 4D Summit 2018, opening a whole world of possibilities for you and your customers. It’s fully integrated in 4D, which means that you can easily create a new mobile project directly from 4D, without the need of any prior expertise building native iOS apps!

Why?

Mobility is not new to 4D. A lot of our customers are already mobile, either using external development or the 4D Mobile solution. 4D Mobile is very powerful, but requires a deep knowledge of JavaScript and Angular, so this solution is mostly intended for professional web developers.

We’ve received requests for something simple to use. A solution that would not require specific expertise. A solution integrated in 4D. The 4D for iOS project has been created to respond to these customer requests.

WHAT’s 4D for iOS?

• Fully integrated in 4D

What’s in it?

In 4D for iOS, you will find all you need to create your first native iOS app within minutes:

We’ll release the very first version of 4D for iOS as a beta in the second half of 2018 with 4D v17 R2. The first feature set is still limited, but we’ll iteratively release more and more features with the upcoming R-releases.
