Research In Motion (RIM) today released the āgoldā build of the BlackBerry 10 developer toolkit. The āgoldā build includes all of the final tools, components, and APIs that will enable developers to create integrated, social and beautiful applications for BlackBerry 10, and have the confidence that their apps will delight customers at launch.Ā

Native C/C++ and Qt developers can use BlackBerry Cascades to build visually stunning applications that offer deeper integration with core feature elements, such as BlackBerry Hub, than any other mobile platform today. HTML5 developers can use BlackBerry WebWorks to create compelling and rich web applications for BlackBerry 10 devices that deliver native-like performance and take advantage of core integration as well. BlackBerry 10 tools are also available for building with Adobe AIR and porting Android applications to the platform. Ā

With the BlackBerry 10 launch event less than two months away, developer interest and excitement for the BlackBerry 10 platform continue to grow. Top application developers have already committed to BlackBerry 10 in key categories including games, multimedia, business and productivity, published media and social networking.

Ā Over the past few months, developer outlook toward RIM has improved broadly and significantly. According to a recent Pivot Point Research survey commissioned by RIM, 58 percent of developers surveyed would recommend BlackBerry 10 as a development platform, a 123% increase from May to October, 2012.

āWe have been actively engaged with developers from around the world for many months and as we near the final weeks toward the launch of BlackBerry 10, the growing dedication and commitment we see from our developer community is truly outstanding,ā said Alec Saunders, Vice President, Developer Relations and Ecosystems at Research In Motion
