EDN in your pocket
If any of you have been following Anders’ blog (and if you haven’t, you should), you’ll know he’s been doing a lot with the iOS support that Delphi XE2 offers. He is currently working on getting an app approved in the Apple AppStore that will bring a lot of the functionality available to you via the Member Services website.
Well, I’m pleased to say that I’ve beaten him to the punch, and last night I unleashed EDN Mobile, which will allow all you Android users out there to carry a little bit of EDN with you wherever you go. Please download it, and let me know your thoughts. As we surface more of EDN’s functionality via DataSnap REST services in future, we’ll be looking to expand the functionality on offer.
Finally, thanks to Nick Hodges for bravely putting up his hand to beta test this app for me. ![]()

Nice work, Cleggy. It was fun to get even just a quick look.

How about an iPhone app?

Brad, I’ve submitted my iPhone app to the AppStore. It takes a while to get through the review process.

Yeah, I was wondering about that, Anders. How long *does* that take for an app to get past the iPolice?

What’s the Android version written in?

The mobile application is written in Java, and talks to a DataSnap REST server written in Delphi.

oh.. I was thinking we could begin to write Android apps with Delphi…
About the "iPolice".. It varies A LOT how long it takes.
I have submitted one app (three years ago, written in ObjC in XCode), and it was rejected within 2 days, after I submitted a new version where I didnt "mis-use" specific icons it was approved within a day.
So it can be quick

For those of us using a pro version, what alternative do you suggest to a DataSnap REST server?
Do we have to resort to writing our own web services?
The enterprise upgrade pack is a bit rich just for data snap.
