  • 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: | | | | | | | | |---------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------| | Browser | \- Chrome 37+ - Firefox 17+ - Internet Explorer 9+ - SSL requires 11+ or settings change for 9+ - 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.
Warning
[Microsoft no longer supplies security updates to IE 9 and 10 for most users](http://blog.xojo.com/microsoft-is-killing-internet-explorer-8-9-and-10), 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:

## Console Apps Console apps do not have a user interface and run on systems with these requirements (or any of the server requirements listed for Web Apps): | | | | | | |-----|-----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | OS | \- Windows 10 - Windows 8.1 - Windows 7 | \- OS X El Capitan 10.11.x - OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 - OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 - OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 2 - OS X Lion 10.7.5 2 2 OS X 10.7 and 10.8 support is deprecated. | \- Linux Mint 16 or later - Ubuntu 10.04 or later - Debian 6.0 or later - OpenSUSE 11.3 or later - Fedora 13 Desktop or later - CentOS 6.0 or later (7.0 or later for x86-64) | \- 32-bit ARMv7 is supported (Pi 2 and Pi 3). - Raspbian Wheezy - Raspbian Jessie | ## 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 later (required for iOS Simulator). | | | |-----------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Supported iOS Versions | \- 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: | | | | |-----------------------------------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 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](http://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 libicu52:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386

/usr/bin/yum -y install glib2.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0: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) Most recent Linux distributions have [libicu](http://site.icu-project.org) installed, but depending on the Linux distribution you may need to install it yourself. These command may be helpful:
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint CentOS/Fedora/OpenSUSE

sudo apt-get install libicu52

yum install libicu
Warning
Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit is [unable to have both 32-bit and 64-bit libicu installed](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/992439) unable to have both 32-bit and 64-bit libicu installed. If you require this, use 12.10 or later or create a 64-bit build.
