News from the Firebird developers.

It is time for Firebird on Android and IOS ?

3 comments

With the release of Delphi XE5, with support for iOS and Android it also brings InterBase versions of these two O.S-es, people started to question whether we can expect a version of Firebird for mobile platforms. Apparently, it will happen! Paul Beach said he already has a version of FB compiling for iOS, but it still needs testing. Anyway, the release versions for iOS / Android should not happen now, since developers are totally focused on Firebird 3 release.

Update:
Firebird client can be build for Android
Also on the Apple side: Paul Beach managed to cross-compile Firebird for iOS
