Dear Sir,

We would like to know how to port our existing PB2019 programs to android/ios. 

As I known, PowerServer 2021 no longer support android/ios, do I need to use other development tool for port our existing PB program to android/ios platform.

Thanks & Regards,

Edward

Hi Edward,

You can use PowerScript Migrator to port your PowerBuilder business logic to C# REST APIs that would be called by your mobile UI.  However, you need to manually develop the mobile UI itself.  The PowerScript Migrator does not convert the UI.

Best regards,
Armeen

Hi Armeen,

Do you know B4X? I'm really impressed with it's ease of use, but maybe not a good option to integrate with Appeon?

Hi Miguel ... I think (but could be wrong) that Roland has tried this product.

Hi Miguel, I mentioned earlier in a different thread that we still plan to bring new things for mobile, but whatever new thing we do for mobile going forward would be with mainstream technologies. B4X is not mainstream. I'm not trying to discourage you from using it, but just making the point that we would not make this a feature/project type of our products.
