Pebble Developer Blog

Today we have the pleasure of announcing the release of Pebble SDK 4.0. We have published an updated version of the Pebble Tool, the SDK itself, and we've deployed 4.0 onto CloudPebble. It's time to get busy!

Pebble developers of the world unite! Pebble OS 4.0 is just around the corner and it's now time to put those finishing touches on your projects, and prepare them for publishing!

We're incredibly excited and proud to announce the first public beta version of Rocky.js watchfaces for Pebble. Rocky.js is ECMAScript 5.1 JavaScript running natively on Pebble smartwatches, thanks to our collaboration with JerryScript. This is an incredible feat of engineering!

Creating companion apps using PebbleKit Android and PebbleKit iOS is a great way to extend the functionality of your Pebble watchfaces and apps, but what if Java or Objective C just isn't your thing? What if you love JavaScript? What if you just don't want to write the same companion app twice?

Now you don't have to! Enter Cordova - an open source framework for building cross-platform mobile apps using web technologies such as HTML5 and JavaScript. What does this mean for you? One framework, and one codebase for building Pebble companion apps for iOS and Android!

It is with great pleasure that I present to you, Clay, a Pebble package that makes it easy to add offline configuration pages to your Pebble apps. All you need to get started is a couple lines of JavaScript and a JSON file; no servers, HTML or CSS required.

Developers rejoice - we’ve released the first version of our SDK 4 developer preview! This SDK enables you to start building applications for the new Diorite platform (Pebble 2), and includes a set of new APIs for interacting with the 4.0 user experience.

In this blog post we’ll dive into the App Glance, UnobstructedArea, and AppExitReason APIs, and explain how you can use them to create great experiences for your users!

I am thrilled to announce that, as part of SDK 3.13 and Pebble Tool 4.3, we have launched our own packaging system: Pebble Packages!

You might have noticed a bit of a buzz around Pebble today - we have officially launched our third Kickstarter campaign, and it is jam packed with exciting new products and features for developers to explore and hack on. We have been hard at work not only creating the next generation of health-focused smartwatches, but also refining what great wearable user and developer experiences look like. We are introducing an entirely new class of wearable device, and adding a modern JavaScript SDK that takes advantage of the Web APIs JavaScript developers around the world know and love.

There is a lot to take in, so we’re here to help break down what’s new and exciting for our favorite developer community!
