Xojo for Mac is an application development environment that provides developers a marked increase in productivity over other multi-platform development tools. The app includes drag-and-drop capability to enable you to quickly create a user interface design, then incorporate the code behind it to add power and functionality. The tool is highly compatible with Visual Basic, so Visual Basic developers are productive very quickly with this product.

Xojo for macOS also comes with a utility to help convert Visual Basic projects to the app where they can be compiled for macOS, Windows, Linux, the web, and iOS -- with the click of a checkbox. Xojo runs on and creates software for OS X, Windows, Linux, iOS and the web all from a single set of source code. The app incorporates platform-specific intelligence, like user interface widgets, so applications created with the applook and feel native, regardless of the development platform you created it on. Build powerful database apps with the app's built-in database, based on the SQLite public domain database engine. Xojo for Mac supports standard image formats for vector graphics.

Features and Highlights

Create Anything
With built-in support for graphics, database servers, internet protocols and more, you can build just about anything you can imagine with the app. Using the tool, you can make commercial software products, utilities to help make your life easier, or even learn to program. In fact, the app itself is a Xojo app!

Build Apps 10x Faster
You can use one set of source code to support multiple platforms and there are over 40 user interface controls built in, allowing your app to look and behave how you'd want it to on any platform. On the web you can use one powerful language to create your web app instead of HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, or AJAX, saving you tons of development time!

Modern Development
The program is a modern, object-oriented language. It supports inheritance, interfaces, polymorphism and is strongly-typed as well. There are thousands of differences in OS API calls and the app abstracts you from these details, dramatically reducing development time and allowing you to focus on what makes your application unique.

Native, Cross-Platform
Xojo apps don't have an interpreter or virtual machine - they're compiled to machine code for fast execution and the protection of your intellectual property. The tool uses native controls so your app looks and feels right on each platform. Development is cross-platform as well. Create your project on your favorite OS and then build it for any platform the app supports.

Note: 30 days trial version.

- Increased the Debugger by default font size to 11 points
- Now the IDE's Messages panel only displays the items matching the text typed in the Search control for better clarity
- Changes to the IDE's Debugger panel so it uses the same font size set for the Code Editor; and accesing the String debugger panel double clicking on the value row. Also other have been made to the String Debugger panel, removing the Edit Tab because now it is possible to set a new value for the string directly in the Text Tab, plus reorganizing the controls under the Text tab for a better use of the available space
- Added AllowPopover property to the Inspector Panel on DesktopChart to unify with WebChart
- Web: Layout editor preview won't render dark mode anymore in Web Projects, if the Supports Dark Mode option is turned off

- For consistency, we no longer dim the layout editor when bringing up the XAML Chooser window since we're not editing the XAML content in place, only bringing up a dialog
- Changes to Plugins are now more accurately tracked so that our Plugin caches are cleared when they need to be. We also do a bit less caching when Plugins are loaded, with the side benefit being slightly faster Plugin loading times
