Hi,
Direct to the subject:
Can I create Apps for Android and iOS using Lazarus nowadays?
I've seen frameworks like Castle-Engine that have a Tool which claims to be
more easy to building and packaging Apps:
https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/wiki/Build-Tool
This framework looks like a piece of art, but I'm more interested to build
business applications with Forms, Grids, Lists and so on.
I believe that Ionic framework is a good choice to build mobile apps, but
if could have such apps using Free Pascal and Lazarus, would be nice.
Can I do that using Lazarus and its default widgets?
You can create some form of apps using the customdrawn
widgetset, but I cannot honestly recommend this approach. I do not think it
works on iOS (I could be mistaken) and it looks simply abysmal on android.
I have created some android apps using the FPC JVM compiler, but then you
need to start all over for iOS. I believe there is still some iOS desiger
package by Joost van der Sluis.
So at the moment the developer experience would not be very good,
I think you're better off using a HTML5 based Ionic app.
Michael.
