What's new in RAD Studio XE4

Develop apps for iPhone and iPad

Write iOS mobile apps in Delphi! The iPhone and iPad apps have fast native performance along with better security than web-based or scripting language-based apps. Take advantage of a full visual designer for iOS user interfaces with multiple device types, resolutions and orientations.

iOS user interface controls

Choose from a full range of native styled user interface controls, including buttons, listboxes and combo boxes. The iOS apps you create support different keyboard types, services like notifications and support Share Sheet to print and share via social media, email and direct communication with other apps.

Rapid prototyping for iOS

Rapidly prototype iOS apps - write your prototype in the IDE and immediately send it over to an iOS device to preview.

IBLite and SQLite iOS database support

iOS apps created support Apple's built-in SQLite database but also support IBLite - a free database, developed by Embarcadero, that can be distributed with your app. IBlite can easily be upgraded to IB2go (sold separately) which provides even more robustness, security and functionality. iOS apps can also connect to the same collection of databases (on-device and external) and cloud services that desktop apps can.

FireMonkey FM3

FireMonkey 3 powers the capabilities for multi-device development and fully supports iOS.

What's new in RAD Studio XE3

Windows 8 support

Easily create Windows 8 desktop applications and migrate existing VCL/FireMonkey applications to Windows 8.

Metropolis

A new Windows 8 style UI complete with touch and live tile support. Comes with project templates to get you up and running quickly along with 1-click conversion for existing apps. Works across Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 along with x86 based Surface Pro and Slate tablets.

Mac OS X Mountain Lion support

Features native support for OS X Mountain Lion and support for the MacBook Pro Retina display with Mac App Store deployment. Style applications using the native Mountain Lion UI or use custom styling.

FireMonkey 2

FireMonkey 2 comes with enhanced native UI control styling and support for 3rd party Pro-Designer UI styles. It includes support for non-client area styling (e.g. the window's title bar).

Visual LiveBindings

Visually connect user interfaces and graphic elements to any data source by simply drawing connections between the data and the UI. Visual Live Bindings makes it easy to design data-driven UI rich applications with dynamic content, eliminating the complex coding of data bindings and connections.

Updated C++ language features

Featuring updated STL and Boost libraries with more updates planned.

HTML5 Builder

The fastest way to deliver your web and mobile apps, using a single HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript codebase.

64-bit support

C++98, C++TR1, and C++11 language standards
ANSI C, ISO C, C99, and C11 language standards
