Developer Babak Yaghoobi has updated the DPF IOS native component suite to support Delphi XE7 Firemonkey. We’ve covered the DPF IOS suite before as it first came out for XE4 (and there is a DPF Android version). DPF IOS uses the native IOS SDK controls verses Firemonkey which draws it’s controls with OpenGL. It also includes an extensive implementation of the IOS API including everything from MFMailCompose, to recording video, to sending SMS with MFMessageCompose, to MKMapView, to UIDatePicker, to UIWebView, and even NSTimer. Additionally, it comes with 90 different demos showing you each control and how to use it. You can’t mix visual DPF IOS components and Firemonkey components on the same form but you can have forms with DPF IOS components and forms with Firemonkey components within the same app. These components should also work with AppMethod. Here are the release notes:
