Creating Augmented Reality Application for blackberry10 - augmented-reality

I'm a BlackBerry native applications developer. I'm new in BB10 apps development. I'm supposed to create an Augmented Reality based application in BB10. I've no idea whether there's any third party library available for blackberry10 or not.
I have googled this thing. Have come to know that Wikitude has provided wikitide-SDK for Android and iOS; using it, android and iPhone developers can develop AR (Augmented Reality) Apps very easily. News says that Wikitude will release SDK for BlackBerry later this year.
Do anyone know the exact release date of Wikitide-SDK for BB10(blackberry) ?
Do anyone have any idea about any third library which I can use for developing AR apps for BB10?
Thanks in advance.

As of August first, they've made this press release.
Of interest in that press release is this (emphasis added):
Wikitude’s most recent product launch is the Wikitude SDK, which allows third parties to develop their own AR apps. The company is also preparing an SDK for BlackBerry® 10.
However, they not yet provided a timeline.
Edit: this is now available:
http://www.wikitude.com/wikitude-launches-worlds-augmented-reality-sdk-blackberry-10

Currently i am exploring Wikitude for BB10. I want to know if Wikitude fetch users location in background or not?

RedLaser configuration page closed

Last year we have bought a license of the RedLaser Barcode Scanner which is developed by Xamarin. Now we want to reconfigure our License but the Configuration Site is closed. Does some know something about it?
Thanks for help
The Red Laser SDK is no longer offered by eBay. However, Manatee Works offers RedLaser SDK Developers a free, equivalent Manatee Works Barcode Scanner SDK license for Android and iOS, with the purchase of a support package.
RedLaser was developed (I believe) by eBay. Xamarin just created bindings for it to be used in their platform.
The Red Laser SDK for developers is no longer offered by eBay. Manatee Works offers their SDK to integrate barcode scanning in your apps.
Also there is another third party , Scandit which offers the same and at a cheaper price than Manatee

Using twilio sdk for an iOS app?

I am planing to develop an VoIP iOS app and use Twilios SDK. I am making the choice to either use LiveCode, Appery.io, PhoneGap or build a native Objective C app. I am going to build the app for iOS, Android and HTML5 so the ideal would be to develope in JavaScript for all platforms, but as I understand the support for WebRTC is laking on the iPhone so the alternative for iOS is the native twilio SDK.
My requirements is:
be possilbe to use in iPhone 5 with iOS 7 be able to use twilio iOS
SDK´s voip functionality or twilio´s js SDK (if it is possible to
wrap a browser that supports RTC in the code?) be able to integrate
billing such as in-app payment or paypal with zooz or similar
communicate with REST API´s such as Amazon S3 or a node.js server
store temporary info in a SQLLite db when app is off line make fast
and responsive views (file listings etc) is very important
create cfuuid´s
I have seen several Twilio projects that use PhoneGap but none that are using LiveCode.
I have already built an iOS VoIP app in Objective C, but I want to be able to release it on several platforms also such as for Android and build a HTML5 app, without redoing everything.
This isn't really a programming question and should perhaps not be asked here.
You can create an external for LiveCode and quickly create an interface using the LiveCode IDE. This is probably a quick and easy way to make a working app. If you're starting with LiveCode but are experienced in Objective-C, creating an external won't be a problem for you.
LiveCode doesn't contain native iOS controls, which means that you have to emulate the GUI. If you use PhoneGap, you also will need to compile a plugin for PhoneGap using Objective-C, but you can use a framework, such as JQuery, to get the right GUI.
Either way, you will have to compile the SDK and you'll need to be quite profound in Objective-C.
LiveCode will meet all your requirements. However, Apple will deny your app if you use PayPal for in-app purchases. You'll have to use Apple's in-app purchasing feature. I believe this is possible in LiveCode now. I'm not sure how easy it is.
I'm not sure about file listings either. On iOS, you won't have complete access to all files on the phone. This isn't a LiveCode limation but a limitation of the OS.

iPawn library for iOS

I found lot of iPad apps that use iPawn to interact with real objects posed on the capacitive touch screen of the device. I'm interested to know how this interaction it's possible and I'm interested to know if I can use iPawn to develop iPad/iPhone apps, there's a library or something I can use to implements iPawn in my apps?
The company who developed this technology is volumique, but I can't understand if exist a free sdk that I can use to develop my own apps or I should buy the sdk.
Thank you

PhoneGap Support for Blackberries 6.0+

I need to decide whether to use phonegap to create a blackberry application. The lure of the app being deployable to various platforms is enticing however I need to know if it will be able to support Blackberry versions 6.0+. So far the website claims support for 5.0, and 6.0. There is a link at: PhoneGap Supported Versions that is meant to explain which ones are supported however one link doesn't work and another takes you to a dated stackoverflow thread. I get the same results from other searches.
My question is can phonegap support higher blackberry operating systems such as 7.0 and later developments by RIM? Also if stability in terms of not having to continuously modify the application for oncoming OSs was important, would it be better to use RIM's WebWorks SDK rather than PhoneGap?
If you are only going to target RIM phones then the WebWorks SDK is probably the best way to go. If you want to target other devices that run iOS and Android then you should look at PhoneGap.
We get really good involvement from RIM on PhoneGap. They did all the code to add Playbook support to PhoneGap and are currently involved in the unified JS project as well.

ios sdk for windows xp

Can any one provide details of "ios sdk for windows xp" so that we can develop Ipad application in Windows environment.
YES it is possible! You can develop for iOS on a PC. Almost all versions of windows are supported, including Windows XP. You can build iPad and iPhone apps using the SDK. It is called Dragon Fire SDK and it allows you to create iOS apps using Visual Studio C++. Dragon Fire SDK is very limited in it's features, but the company is constantly updating the SDK. Dragon Fire SDK is really aimed at creating games (Open GL ES), although they recently announced a possibility of an Enterprise version of the SDK which would allow you to create lifestyle, productivity, utility, and other types of apps. I used it for almost a year before switching to a Macintosh Computer and getting Xcode, and I was very pleased with everything. The company was devoted to helping you create your dream app, and they had lots of resources, help forums, and communities to answer your questions about app building with the PC. The SDK allows you to develop your app in C or C++ and then test it using a real iPhone or iPad simulator. Dragon Fire SDK ranges from the basic starter kit, $50, to the ultimate version which allows for iPhone and iPad Dev, priced at $150. Dragon Fire SDK is created by Zumisoft. As far as distributing your app, Zumisoft will distribute it for you, but the downfall of that is that your app must be a FREE app and updates cost $10 each. The other way is to distribute it through the App Store for $99 and do all the cool fancy stuff you want.

Best of Luck!
Happy App Building!
If you are really serious about the iPad app, buy a Mac ;)
There is no iOS SDK for Windows.
