The iOS Developer Center remained closed all week, Google introduced and released Android 4.3, Unity 4.2 started supporting Windows Phone 8, Windows 8 and Blackberry 10, and Flurry did an interesting study of application prices. All this is in our weekly digest.
Google just introduced Android 4.3. The image is already available for Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The main features of the new version are the ability to work with several accounts of varying degrees of limitation on one device, support for Bluetooth Smart and OGL ES 3.0.
A message was sent to the developers, in which the company said that on Thursday it had discovered an infiltration of Dev Center and hackers could gain access to the names, physical and mailing addresses of the developers. The rest of the information, including credit card numbers, is encrypted and remained intact, Apple writes. Now the Center is already back in operation .
The first reports of data inaccessibility, which, among other things, affected the ratings of applications, appeared on the Windows Phone Dev Center forum in early June.
Samsung has turned into a giant that can compete with the largest companies in the market, and now, following the example of its competitors, has announced its first developer conference to be held in San Francisco from October 27 to 29.
