Cyanogen has announced the Cyanogen Platform SDK, a new tool meant to make developing for Cyanogen easier.
Cyanogen describes the Platform SDK as an open-source tool that lets developers use existing APIs within CyanogenMod’s framework or to create their own APIs for the greater community. Cyanogen believes approaching its platform from an SDK/API perspective will be less daunting than approaching the platform as a whole.
The organization is offering an alpha-level SDK with an introductory API for the Quick Settings Tile. Cyanogen hopes developers will take a look and eventually contribute to its platform.
Cyanogen is based on Google’s Android operating system, but the organization has broken away from Google’s version in favor of its own. Earlier this year Cyanogen partnered with Microsoft and will include Microsoft’s productivity apps in its operating system.
Cyanogen has lots of documentation ready for developers and looking forward to community submissions to the Cyanogen Platform SDK.
