New version of the BlackBerry 10 SDK for Adobe AIR: Stakes and Opportunities around API updates and fixes

It is official since December 11, 2012  RIM has released what it calls the Gold version of the BlackBerry 10 SDK for Adobe AIR. The release includes a full list of API updates and fixes. ..

In fact the paramount goal which has motivated this initiative has been: allow developers to create applications that adhere to the BlackBerry UI branding guidelines. This means that: the components you would get if you were a native developer, you also get in the BlackBerry 10 SDK for Adobe AIR.

With the new BlackBerry 10 SDK for Adobe AIR, developers can use the Container API to organize the application’s UI controls. By using a layout, a Container manages the positioning and size of any UI component that it contains. This allows developers to target multiple aspect ratios and orientations easily without having to specify set dimensions for their application.

With the BlackBerry 10 SDK for Adobe AIR you can more or less easily take advantage of things such as invocation, sensors, push, notifications, payment and more.

Finally if you’re already using the fuse component set that debuted with the BlackBerry PlayBook SDK for Adobe AIR, the port aims to be quick and easy. For more details, head over to the release notes.
