The software environment has integrated native desktop capabilities like 3D model support and system file dialogs directly into existing mobile codebases. Developers also gain access to built-in, encrypted WebRTC communication that dynamically links platform-specific libraries across web browsers, iOS, and Android. To demonstrate these capabilities, the update provides complete application templates covering restaurant delivery, private messaging, and multiplayer strategy games. Furthermore, the platform narrowed the gap with standard server libraries by incorporating 116 new Java classes and interfaces.

If Codename One didn’t exist, Kotlin Multiplatform is probably the platform I’d choose. I prefer Java, but Kotlin is a good language, and KMP was one of the strongest platforms we measured against in the Flutter post this week. Its first take on UI leaned on heavyweight native widgets, the way React Native does. The team learned from that, and Compose Multiplatform today is a good product built by people who care about performance. ...
Flutter Better in Java
I usually blog about a feature the week it lands. This one landed a few weeks ago and was in development for months before that: Codename One can now take a Flutter app’s Dart source and build it as a Codename One app. The results are amazing. I held this post back because I know how explosive these claims are. I wanted the numbers to come from a CI job that runs on every commit instead of a benchmark I tuned once on my…
Federal immigration authorities are escalating their monitoring of social platforms to identify threats against agents, prompting Silicon Valley giants to fight back through legal challenges and expanded user notifications. To bypass corporate delays and overcome resistance to administrative subpoenas, the Department of Homeland Security has partnered with the Justice Department to issue grand jury demands. Tech executives now face a delicate balancing act between internal workforce demands for user privacy and th…
Developers can now build Jetpack Compose code directly as a Codename One application, allowing the same shared Kotlin Multiplatform codebase to reach more targets while using less CPU power. Under this architecture, the standard Kotlin compiler processes code using official Compose and coroutine libraries, while the UI layer is reimplemented over Codename One components. The entire project is then compiled ahead of time into a native binary using ParparVM, allowing teams to import existing modules through a single…
Digital publishing platform operator Scribd, Inc. has notified customers that an unauthorized third party potentially accessed personal and financial data stored in one of its systems. While full credit card numbers remain uncompromised, affected records include email addresses along with partial payment details and transaction histories.
