Windows to Iphone TCP/IP ?

General

He folks.

I’m wondering if this is possible with XOJO? I have not had the time to really, really look at the total package but have looked at the examples folder in XOJO free version and have read many of the docs, but I’m still a little confused. I just want to play a little more before I purchase.

I’m wanting to see if it’s possible to make an app for instance that would be used for my Windows Macine, but that would also work on an Iphone using the TCP/IP controls ?

I mean, I just want an app that allows private chat between two people. Windows to Iphone, and Iphone to Windows.

Is this possible or would I need to develop on an Iphone to make this work? It would seem to me that using the internet and TCP/IP it should work, but I’m not sure. I mean, I know I can develop for Windows, Linux, and OSX, but would I also need the IOS IDE as well to do so?

Isn’t there a way around using the Apple store to do private app’s that I don’t want to sell but that may be used for inside a company for instance between departments? I thought I read that this is possible, but I don’t remember where ?

Thanks so much and hope this is ok to ask here.

You need a Mac to compile, and to install the program on your iPhone.

You also need to subscribe to Apple Developer Program to be able to install the app on a device.

To be clear, this does not mean that your app has to be in the App Store.

Hi Tim, you might want to consider a Web project in this case.

Alternatively, you’ll need a Mac to build an iOS app and an iOS Developer Enterprise Program membership to easily distribute outside of the App Store . See https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/

If he does that inside the company, if I remember right he can go up to 100 copies. That maybe enough without the enterprise program.

Thank you folks so much. I truly appreciate it. I was studying the docs at work today and I really like XOJO. It so reminds me of VB and I was really proficient at it, and this makes it really easy to use.

Thanks again.
