What’s new in Delphi XE4

Delphi XE4 is a must-have upgrade for all Delphi developers and is the newest version of the award winning, multi-device app development solution from Embarcadero. Use the new features of Delphi XE4 to deliver apps for iPhone and iPad in addition to Windows and Mac, target PCs, tablets and smartphones, connect with more data, more easily - and much more!

Multi-Device app development for Windows, Mac and iOS

Now you can deliver apps on multiple platforms and device types – including smartphone, tablet and PCs/laptops and deliver impressive results in less time. Develop for Windows, Mac OS X and iOS using a single IDE and a single framework and create true native apps that leverage the full range of capabilities and performance in the underlying devices. Learn More >

Develop apps for iPhone and iPad

Create mobile apps using the programming skills, knowledge and code that you already have. Your Delphi iOS apps will have fast native performance and better security than web-based or scripting language-based apps. Use a full visual designer for iOS user interfaces with multiple device types, resolutions, and orientations. Learn more >

iOS user interface controls

With Delphi XE4, you get a full range of native styled user interface controls, including buttons, listboxes and combo boxes, to incorporate into your apps. The iOS apps you create with Delphi include support for Share Sheet to share info and links via social media, email and to other apps, as well as notification services. Learn more >

Rapid prototyping

Delphi XE4 delivers an enhanced and optimized developer workflow that automates deployment and debugging on both the simulator and device. Rapidly prototype your apps with layouts for each device type and quickly go from prototype to production. Integrate feedback quickly by deploying your prototype directly onto your target device using actual framework objects and code. Learn more >
