What’s New

Great updates for you this week!

Full support for Web Sockets bi-directional messaging is now available for NodeJS!

With great Server Connect and App Connect integration you can take full power of web sockets and deliver amazing real time communication solutions!
For the Web Sockets basics check WebSockets - Realtime Messaging
and for more advanced integrations see API Action Realtime Progress with WebSockets

Furthermore we have also improved our Mobile App support.
Finally as the latest Cordova for iOS catches up with the latest iOS developments, we are able to deliver more solid solutions specially for cookie handling and CORS support.
So the new Cordova iOS integration will use the latest standards when you choose to install it.

We have also greatly improved the Mobile tools detection and auto installation, thanks to our integration with Homebrew on the Mac and Scoop on Windows.
So now everything you need will be auto installed. Well accept Xcode on the Mac - you need to get that on your self in the App Store :slight_smile:
