The digest of news from the world of mobile development for the last week №22 (July 22 - 28, 2013)
All this week, the iOS Developer Center remained closed, Google introduced and released Android 4.3, Unity 4.2 began supporting Windows Phone 8, Windows 8 and Blackberry 10, and Flurry conducted an amusing study of the prices of applications. All this is in our weekly digest.
Google just introduced Android 4.3. The image is already available for Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The main features of the new version are the ability to work with several accounts of different degrees of limitations on one device, support for Bluetooth Smart and OGL ES 3.0.
The developers were sent a message in which the company said that on Thursday it had discovered penetration into the Dev Center and that hackers could get access to the names, physical and postal addresses of the developers. The rest of the information, including credit card numbers, is encrypted and remained intact, Apple writes. Now the Center has already returned to service .
The first messages about the unavailability of data, which, among other things, influenced the ratings of applications, appeared on the Windows Phone Dev Center in early June.
Samsung has become a giant capable of competing with the largest companies on the market, and now, following the example of its competitors, announced its first developer conference to be held in San Francisco from October 27 to October 29.
