The new property cross demo shows off the usage of webservices, JSON parsing, infinite scroll, URLImage and lots of other Codename One features. It uses a UK webservice that allows listing properties for sale in the UK.

In my previous post, I created a static analog clock component. In this post, I will use Codename One’s animation API to update the clock every continually so that it will keep time correctly.

Now that we are officially in the 64bit era of the iOS app store and our new VM is the default target it has gotten much stabler and helped us track issues that have been a part of Codename One since its inception.

In recent versions of iOS Apple added the ability to distribute beta versions of your application to beta testers using tools they got from the testflight acquisition. We now support this with our crash protection pro feature, just use the build argument ios.testFligh...
