Comments on REAL Software: Yet another Cocoa update

No, it will not. We are getting very close but it's too late in the R2 cycle. However, it's looking very good at this point for R3.

Do we know if cocoa will be in 2010 release 2?

Regrettably, I stopped buying my annual updates because the trust I had in RB slowly became destroyed. Cocoa in 2009 is yet another example. I feel sorry for those who purchased only to have fair expectations left unmet. My problem is, as nice as some at RB may be, apologies from RB hardly equal annual subscription fees! I just can't stand it.

Now RB is going to undertake yet another major sub-project (LLVM) and its last major undertaking (Cocoa) still isn't out. Good luck!

I'll be very happy when Cocoa support is complete....

I'll be very happy when Cocoa support is complete. After that, please don't go chasing the iPhone or Android yet. I'd rather see all of the current target platforms tweaked for a while, and maybe some new language and IDE features.

@Hal Gumbert:

That won't happen with the Cocoa update. AFAIW, only Xcode can compile for the iPhone.

I know this is putting the cart before the horse, but how long may it take before we can build and sell iPhone apps after the cocoa release ships?

To compensate us for the delay, you could include a copy of "Duke Nukem Forever" with the upgrade.

Ah sorry, did not mean to sound like an unhappy customer, I am most certainly love RB. Recently lost my job and reality is setting in and I realize I may not be able to upgrade right away! hehe Anyway we appreciate the updates on the blog and the predicament you are in with the Cocoa timeline. Keep on a plug'n along y'all. When it is done and finished we all be as happy as a flea at a dog show.

I wish we had not given that time frame either. But at the time, it did seem reasonable. And we do get asked constantly about when we expect to ship this or that.

But happiness is the result of having your expectations met and we unfortunately set your expectations that it would ship in 2009. For that I apologize.

A years worth of updates come and gone and still no cocoa. I realize it is bigger then you thought but I really wish you would not have said it would be shipping in 2009, initially. I know of many people that upgraded their license based on this information. Not cool at all.

If you do not have an account on our website, you will need to create one to join the beta program. To do so, make sure you use the email address you have on file with us so it can associate you with your license keys.

" If you would like to follow our progress more closely, join the betas list and you can test your projects with the betas that have Cocoa enabled. "

OK, I give up. How? I can't find any way to sign up on the REALSoftware site (I'm sure it's there, I just can't find it.

2010-01-08T08:39:53.602-06:00

Yes. Lest we forget, I think that one of the big companies you were alluding to (even if you didn't name it) was Adobe, who was apparently having one hell of a time turning PhotoShop into a Cocoa app. Given that, I think we can get at least some sense of the scope of the task you all have set for yourselves, and can well appreciate sparing us REALbasic users the kind of ordeal that Adobe and others face in having to upgrade their applications to Cocoa "by hand."

So, again, thanks for making programming easier for those of us who aren't professional coders.
