32-bit ARMv7 is supported (Pi 2 and Pi 3).

  • Raspbian Wheezy
  • Raspbian Jessie

Web Apps

Web apps consist of two parts: user interface displayed in the web browser and the app itself.

Web Browser

Your users can use a web app in one of the following browsers for these platforms:

  Windows OS X / OS X Server Linux iOS Android Raspberry Pi
Browser
  • Chrome 37+
  • Firefox 17+
  • Internet Explorer 9+
    • SSL requires 11+ or <a href="#SSL">settings change for 9+</a>
  • Edge
  • Safari 6.0+
    • SSL requires 7.0+
  • Chrome 37+
  • Firefox 17+
  • Chrome 37+
  • Firefox 17+
  • Mobile Safari
  • Chrome for Android
  • Raspbian Web Browser
Security

For SSL with IE 9 or 10, you may need manually enable TLSv12 with these steps:

  1. Select "Tools" ↠ "Internet Options". Depending on your IE settings, the "Tools" menu may be a gear icon in the upper right hand corner.
  2. Go to the "Advanced" tab. 
  3. Scroll down to the "Security" section. 
  4. Locate and check "Use TLS 1.2" in the Security section.
  5. Then, press the "OK" button.

You may need to close and reopen all open browser windows in order for these new settings to take effect.

Microsoft no longer supplies security updates to IE 9 and 10 for most users, so you may want to consider upgrading to IE 11 or using a different browser.
Web Server / Deployment

Web apps can be deployed to servers with these requirements:

  Windows OS X / OS X Server Linux (x86, x86-64) Raspberry Pi

  Windows OS X / OS X Server Linux (x86, x86-64) Raspberry Pi
OS
  • Windows 10
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 7

CPU Compatibility

x86 CPUs require the SSE2 instruction set for the IDE and built applications. The vast majority of desktop CPUs in use support this, but some x86 single board computers may not.

ARM CPUs must support the 32-bit ARMv7 architecture.

iOS Apps

In order to work on iOS projects, you must be using Xojo on OS X 10.10 and later with Xcode 7.x or Xcode 8.x (required for iOS Simulator).

Required macOS versions
  • 10.12
  • 10.11
  • 10.10
Required Xcode versions
  • 7.x
  • 8.x
Supported iOS Versions
  • iOS 10
  • iOS 9
  • iOS 8
Supported iOS Devices
  • iPhone 4S and newer iPhones
  • iPad mini (all models)
  • iPad 2 and newer models
  • iPad Pro
  • iPod Touch (5th gen and newer)
iOS Developer Subscription Requirements
  • Deploying to iOS devices
  • Submitting to App Store
  • Test Flight

Linux Information

Because various Linux distributions have different libraries installed by default, you may need to install additional libraries before your Xojo apps will run on Linux. At a minimum, Xojo requires these Linux libraries:

Always Required Required for Desktop Optional
glib 2.0 GTK+ 2.20

libwebkitgtk-1.0.0 or libgtkhtml (HTMLViewer)

Ubuntu install command:

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0.0

 

glibc-2.11 (32-bit)

glibc-2.14 (64-bit)

   libsoup 2.4 (Xojo.Net.HTTPSocket) 
libstdc++.so.6.0.13   GTK+ 2.32 for Picture.Open Horizontal and Vertical resolutions.
libicu 4.2+  

 

If you're looking for a specific version and distribution, check out mirrors.kernel.org.

64-bit Configuration

For best results, create 64-bit Xojo apps for distribution on 64-bit Linux systems. If you have to distribute a 32-bit Xojo app on a Linux distribution, you need to ensure that the 32-bit libraries are installed. They are not installed by default, so you'll have to install them manually. Below are some commands that might be helpful.

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint CentOS/Fedora/OpenSUSE
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
sudo yum install ia32-libs
sudo yum install ia32-libs-multiarch
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
sudo yum install glib2.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686
sudo apt-get install libicu52:i386
sudo apt-get install libicu52
sudo apt-get install libicu48:i386
sudo yum provides missinglibrarypathorname
sudo yum install packagenamewithlibrary

 Ubuntu 14+:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libsoup2.4-1:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386
/usr/bin/yum -y install glib2.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 
sudo apt-get install libicu52:i386
yum install libicu.i686

If you are still having trouble identifying necessary libraries, the ldd command might help. You can run from Terminal in the Xojo directory to return a list of libraries required by Xojo and their status on the system:

ldd Xojo
International Components for Unicode (libicu)

Linux apps made with Xojo 2016 Release 3 or later include the libicu libraries as part of the app package (in the Libs folder). You do not need to install libicu separately.
