We launched the Codename One Build App beta on Android last week and now we have a public beta for iOS as well. You can sign up to join the public beta through this link. Notice that you will need testflight on your device to join the public beta test.

Proguard is one of the most disliked aspects of Android programming. Developers attack it left and right because there are so many nuances to it. That's a huge mistake, proguard is one of the most important tools in our development toolchain. It makes our apps slightly more secure, much smaller and even slightly faster. Codename One apps use proguard by default for Android. This is a huge benefit in our case because the limits related to obfuscation are very similar to the limits related to portability.
Some of our older components were developed years ago. As Android and iOS slowly converged their UI paradigms we got stuck supporting odd/outdated functionality as designs shifted. Three great examples are pull to refresh, OnOffSwitch and the InfiniteProgress features.
One of the big "behind the scenes" motivations for our big build cloud migration was new server API's. We now have a completely new backend and this made it easier to build a completely new Codename One App christened as "Codename One Build".
