Well, for one customer I needed a license to do test builds of a Software which we have to rebuild in Java with JavaFX and JPro as Web application for Hardware implementation. As JPro provides also solutions for embedded systems it is no pricing problem. So I was doing that exactly this way. But I needed the new xojo license. I was looking on the android implementation. It was simply not really usable.
For Mac desktop /ios(pro licence), ended in August 2023
For Windows Lite, current.
I would have renewed Pro, but they still don’t consider an upgrade to be something at a discount. And Mobile is WAY overpriced when you consider how low powered it is.
I use 2019v1.1 and feel it was the “last, best” version. I’m not creating anything new using Xojo, just keeping old apps updated as needed. All new projects will be C# Blazor or Blazor Hybrid.
I have a client that wanted a web app and I tried Xojo web. After about 2 hours of Xojo development the web app began to crash. Then the workarounds began to crash. Since there were no solutions, I was told to report the errors.
I went to Python instead. Python web app works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It’s nice to work with a language that is write-once, run-anywhere.
Same experience here. First release, 5 minutes with the tool and it was obvious it was garbage. One year later it was enoug to make a proof of concept but it crashed, 2 years later and was more usable but several controls dont even worked. Finaly, on the last release, the proof of concept was working, but xojo web is not feature complete yet.
It took xojo “only” 3 extra years to reach a beta quality with release candidate quality in maybe another year.
I am using flask for simple web apps. I will be learning Django in the future, as it looks feature complete. Django almost looks like a new programming language.
