Features native portal app for iOS devices and updated user interface components CHICAGO, IL. CNX announced today the general availability of version 4.1 of the Valence Framework for IBM i. Valence 4.1 introduces new options for developing and running IBM i applications on iOS devices (iPad/iPhone), as well as support for a new set of front-end components for regular desktop apps. Back-end support for IBM i OS 7.2 is also included with this release.

We're happy to report that the latest build of Valence Framework 4.0 includes a fully functional Beta version of the much-anticipated Nitro AutoCode app.  This latest addition to the Nitro family allows developers to quickly generate Valence apps using a wizard-like interface.  You can literally produce a completely functional app -- including both the RPG and the user interface -- from scratch in less than a minute!  You can then call up the resulting app in Sencha Architect to quickly make additional adjustments to the user interface.
