Research In Motion today announced the “gold” version of its BlackBerry 10 software developer kit (SDK). This is the final build of the SDK for developers, which can be used to write applications for RIM’s forthcoming BlackBerry 10 platform and handsets. To-date, the SDK has been in various stages of beta release.
The gold SDK includes all the components, APIs (application programming interfaces), and other tools needed to create native BB10 applications. The SDK is available in several different configurations, including HTML5 WebWorks, Adobe AIR, C/C++, and Qt. RIM is hoping to stock the BlackBerry World application store with as many apps as possible ahead of BlackBerry 10’s launch. RIM plans to fully reveal BlackBerry 10 on January 30.
