TL;DR Xojo iOS licenses are now Xojo Mobile licenses. Using Xojo 2023r2, Xojo Mobile, Xojo Pro and Xojo Pro Plus licenses can build Android apps!

Learn to code using Xojo and you can build apps for Mac, Windows and Linux, web apps, iOS apps and Raspberry Pi apps (and Android- it’s coming!). With the exception of iOS which requires a Mac, you can build for any platform we support from any platform we support. Want to build Windows apps for your friends from your Mac? That’s what Xojo is great at! Want to make your work day easier with a database app to track your inventory? Xojo’s great at that too!

One Thing to Learn

Xojo is a fully integrated development environment (IDE) – that means your code editor, build tools and debugger are all in Xojo. Learning to code can be challenging enough, you don’t need to also learn how to install and configure a bunch of tools before you even get started. In fact, customers have told us they were able to create their first Xojo app before the other development tools they were testing finished installing!

Free Introduction to Programming Book

Xojo has a free book, Introduction to Programming with Xojo, and it is a great way to start learning. The book walks you through programming and general concepts in a way that is easy to understand. You can download it in PDF or for iBooks. Plus there’s an iOS Addendum, a Raspberry Pi Book and a Teacher’s Guide.

Apply Your New Skills to Other Languages

The Xojo programming language is similar to other languages, such as Visual Basic or Java. Because Xojo is object-oriented, the skills you learn with Xojo are directly applicable to other languages, including Visual Basic, Java, C# and more.

Videos and Webinars

For those that learn visually, attend the Xojo webinars, hosted by Xojo Developer Evangelist Paul Lefebvre. The webinars cover a wide variety of topics, from beginner to advanced. Plus all the webinars are recorded for on-demand viewing anytime.

Be sure to check out the Getting Started playlist on the Xojo YouTube channel with videos such as:

• An Introduction to Developing with Xojo
• Introduction to Xojo and Xojo Cloud
• Creating a Desktop App Tutorial
• Creating a Web App Tutorial
• Creating a Desktop App using Xojo
• Creating a Web App using Xojo
• Introduction to Programming 101
• Introduction to Programming 201

Comprehensive Documentation

In addition to Xojo’s books, webinars and video library, we’ve got QuickStart Guides, Tutorials and a User Guide totalling over 900 pages. Divided into four parts to help simplify the learning process, the Xojo User Guide is a great resource for learning.

Still not sure where to start? Our How to Get Started with Xojo page can point you in the right direction.

Wonderful Community

Xojo is known for its friendly and approachable user community. The Xojo Forum is vibrant and active, and includes a Getting Started channel with lots of fellow Xojo Developers available to help answer questions along the way – though we recommend you take a moment to search to see if your question has already been answered first!

Free to Develop

Xojo is free for learning and development. Just create an account, download Xojo and use the resources listed above to start developing your app.

You can develop, run, test and debug all for free. When you are ready to compile your app, you can buy the right Xojo license for you.

With Xojo 2014r3 we are introducing simple, annual pricing for all Xojo licenses:

Licensing

We have found that having a separate license for accessing database servers is unnecessarily confusing and costly to our users. With the release of Xojo 2014r3, we are including database access with Xojo Desktop and Web licenses! If you purchased a new Xojo Desktop licenseor Xojo Web license within the last 90 days, your license has already been updated to include database access at no charge.

Pricing

To further simplify our pricing we have changed to a single, annual USD pricing model. This means the price will be the same for new and renewal licenses and all prices are in USD- no matter where you are purchasing from. Single-Platform Desktop and Enterprise licenses are unchanged both in terms of licensing and pricing.

None of this changes how your Xojo license works. As always, can still continue to use your licenses after they expire but will not have access to new releases until you renew.

Automatic Renewal

The first time you renew or purchase Xojo after December 2014 via our website (PayPal and other non-website purchases do not activate auto-renew), you activate the auto-renewal feature. This means your Xojo license will be automatically renewed and your credit card charged every 12 months. Once it’s activated, this feature can be turned off for any specific license at any time from the Licenses page in your xojo.com account. However, if you are reasonably sure you plan to renew, we would appreciate you leaving this feature on as it helps us to plan and make Xojo better. All renewals placed through the auto-renewal feature will include a 10% discount.

Getting Xojo iOS

If you don’t have Xojo Pro, you have two options. First, you can purchase a new Xojo iOS license for $299 USD. Second, you can upgrade your existing licenses to Xojo Pro. Upgrade discounts are calculated from the remaining value of your existing Xojo licenses. To find out your discount, log into your xojo.com account and select which licenses you wish to upgrade from your licenses page.

If you already have Xojo Pro, you have three options. First, you can add iOS to your existing Xojo Pro license for $199 USD (contact me at custserv@xojo.com for this option). With this option, your Xojo Pro license will be upgraded to include iOS through the end of your current expiration date, whenever that may be. This may be a good option for you if your license doesn’t expire for many months. Second, you can renew your Xojo Pro license for $699 which will give you Xojo Pro with iOS and add an additional year to your license. Third, you can purchase a new iOS license for $299.

If you purchased or upgraded to Xojo Pro within the last 90 days, your Xojo Pro license has already been updated to include iOS at no additional charge.
