Transcript In this short video I will try to explain versioned builds which is Codename One’s approach for repeatable builds. Before we begin, versioned builds are a pro feature that has extended functionality in the enterprise tier. I’ll talk more about that soon but first, what does versioned build actually mean? ...
Transcript In this video I’ll discuss the crash protection pro feature. Crash protection makes debugging application issues on devices in production possible. It does that by providing you with crash logs and information. But before we begin we need to clarify that crash protection is a pro level feature which means it is only available to pro subscribers or higher due to the heavy usage of production email servers. ...
Transcript In this short video we will discuss the offline build feature which allows you to build native iOS & Android applications on a Mac without using the Codename One build servers. This is a feature designed for enterprise Codename One subscribers! It’s a complex feature to use and requires enterprise level support. However, once you install an offline builder you can keep using it even after your enterprise subscription elapses. In that sense it’s more like shrink wrap software than a subscription service. ...
Transcript In this video I’ll cover some core concepts of push notification. This is a HUGE subject so I suggest you check out the developer guide for further reading as I can only scratch the surface. iOS didn’t support background tasks and polling was a big battery drain. Push was offered as a workaround. It allowed developers to notify the user that something happened and even change a numeric badge on an icon. ...

Transcript In this video I’ll discuss the “include source” feature. With include source we can get the native OS source code as a result of a build. This allows us to debug & profile on devices. Notice that this isn’t meant for manual native OS coding as we have the native interfaces feature that allows you to write native code. Still include source is a very useful tool when working with native interfaces and I recommend checking that video out too. ...
