Telecommunications solutions provider Alcatel-Lucent picked up a mobile app development platform that allows programmers to write apps once and produce code that runs natively on iPhones and Android devices with its acquisition of OpenPlug on Wednesday. The details of the deal were not disclosed. OpenPlug’s ELIPS studio allows developers to write code in Adobe’s Flex programming environment and port it to native languages like the iPhone’s Objective-C. Apple’s iPhone app development is a particular sore thumb for many developers, as they require developers to write in a handful of specific languages.
The tool, however, bypasses that restriction by avoiding the use of custom software development kits and compiling the source code to the native platform, according to PC World.
