Announcing Xojo Library Studio

LS is the one tool every Xojo Library developer needs in their toolbox! This application takes total control of the IDE to build as many Library projects as you wish for whatever target architectures you wish, then combines their resulting xojo_library files, customizes metadata, and performs build actions before or after each stage.

As an example of usage, this application would allow a developer to create Xojo libraries for Console, Desktop, iOS, Android, and Web, add the projects and steps to an LS project, then – with the press of a button – build and combine each in to a single distributable file.

LS is currently macOS-only due to restrictions in the Xojo IDE.
