支持 iOS 框架的 IDE 可以编写、测试和部署本机应用程序，无需仅依赖 macOS。

iOS Framework support in IDE (Integrated Development Environment) development tools refers to the capability of the IDE to recognize, integrate, and assist in building applications using Apple's iOS-specific libraries and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). This support typically includes features such as code completion, syntax highlighting, debugging, and interface design tailored to frameworks like UIKit, SwiftUI, CoreData, and others. It enables developers to efficiently write, test, and deploy applications for iPhone and iPad by providing tools that understand the structure and behavior of iOS applications, manage device simulators, and integrate with Apple's development ecosystem, including Xcode project structures and provisioning profiles.

Several IDEs offer iOS Framework support including:

  • B4i (iOS) by Anywhere Software lets you develop native iOS apps on Windows with abstracted access to core iOS frameworks and APIs.
  • RemObjects Elements enables direct use of native iOS frameworks using multiple languages, with deep integration into Apple’s development toolchain.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise supports iOS development, providing debugging and integration features for Apple frameworks using cross-platform .NET technologies.

用保存的连接更快地配置测试数据

Redgate Test Data Manager 现在允许团队一次定义和命名连接详细信息，从而提高一致性并加快测试数据流程。

Redgate Test Data Manager is a comprehensive software solution designed to automate test data management within database environments. It enables teams to provision realistic, production-like data while masking sensitive information to maintain compliance with data privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. With data masking, synthetic data generation, and efficient provisioning, it creates reliable test environments that mirror real-world scenarios.

Redgate Test Data Manager introduces a new feature that simplifies how you configure and reuse database connections across masking and subsetting jobs. By allowing you to define connection details once, assign them a recognizable name, and then select them from a dropdown, it reduces repetitive setup, minimizes configuration errors, and ensures consistent connection settings across environments. This enables development and QA teams to move more quickly from setup to executing test data workflows, keeping the focus on defining effective masking and subsetting rules rather than re-entering connection information.

Redgate Test Data Manager is licensed on a capacity model based on the total volume of data in all production databases (priced per TB). You will need to purchase enough licenses to cover the total TB across all your databases and technologies (SQL Server, Oracle, Postgres SQL and MySQL). See our Redgate Test Data Manager licensing page for full details.

RAD Studio WebStencils 通过将类似 HTML 的语法与数据库集成和内置安全性相结合，简化了动态 Web 开发。

RAD Studio by Embarcadero is a integrated development environment (IDE) used to build applications for various platforms. It allows programmers to create native apps for Windows, macOS, mobile devices (Android and iOS), and more using C++ or Delphi. RAD Studio is known for its rapid application development features and is targeted towards professional developers building data-rich and visually appealing applications.

RAD Studio WebStencils introduces a rapid way to develop dynamic, database-driven web applications using minimal syntax and no dependency on heavy JavaScript frameworks. By integrating with HTMX (A lightweight open-source library that extends HTML to enable interactivity without complex JavaScript), WebStencils enables responsive, interactive pages through simple HTML attributes, removing the complexity of traditional frontend frameworks. Developers can build sophisticated applications using standard HTML and CSS, while backend developers leverage FireDAC datasets for data operations.

A key strength lies in its automatic form generation from database schemas. Developers can change a field or data type in the database and immediately see the reflected change in the browser - no manual adjustments needed. This drastically reduces the effort in maintaining CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) interfaces.

RAD Studio is licensed per Named, Network Named or Concurrent user and is available as a Perpetual License with an Update Subscription that includes support and free upgrades for 1 Year. See our RAD Studio licensing page for full details.

RAD Studio is available to buy in the following products:
