play.js 2.0 was released a week ago with a redesigned experience, numerous stability improvements and a great adoption amongst developers, but the major breakthrough in the app evolution doesn’t stop there…
This new version closes a little bit more the gap between JS development and JS developer **the iOS way**. Finally you can run the scripts you define in your package.json file in a very simple and intuitive way, you’ll love it.
But that’s not all, we’ve spent some time fixing a couple of crashes, a very annoying issue switching between Git branches and also reworked some of the Node.js internals so you don’t need to use getStdout and getStdin anymore.
Enjoy!

- New app and icon designs.

- Custom app icons.
- Many many bug fixes.
Hope you enjoy it!

1.11.0
2019-08-26
We’re extremely excited to share what we’ve accomplished in this very productive summer.
We’ve rewritten the code editor from the scratch and now it counts with the following features:
- Smarter auto-indentation that now increases the indentation level if prior to a line break there’s certain characters.
- Increase and decrease the indentation level of a single or a group of lines by swiping your finger right and left over the code editor. Or you can also use the shortcuts “Cmd + [“ and “Cmd + ]”.
- Closing characters are automatically inserted after typing opening characters like quotes, brackets or parenthesis.
- Comment or uncomment a single or a group of lines by using the shortcut “Cmd + /“.
- The editor now highlights the current line, empty characters and indent guides.
- Above the keyboard you now have easy access to more special characters (also for iPad) and an easy way to dismiss the keyboard.
We’ve also added some more keyboard shortcuts that let you browse the app more effectively. These are the shortcuts we’ve added:
- “Cmd + 1” to run or stop your program.
- “Cmd + 2” to show or hide the file browser.
- “Cmd + 3” to show or hide the documentation.
- “Cmd + 4” to share your project.
- “Cmd + t” to expand or collapse the console.
- “Cmd + w” to close the current tab.
- “Cmd + left arrow” to navigate to the previous tab.
- “Cmd + right arrow” to navigate to the next tab.
Lastly, we've also found time to fix some bugs:
- Fixed date when committing changes to Git.
- Preserved the file navigator state upon closing and opening it again.
- Fixed creation of projects with files hosted outside the app directory (in-place) for devices running iOS 12.4.
- Fixed an issue opening projects with revoked read access of a directory outside the app directory (in-place).
That’s a lot but there’ll be more coming, this new code editor enable us to ship faster way more powerful features!
As this is a pretty big update, please share with us any issues you might encounter at contact@nakiostudio.com.
1.10.0
2019-07-22
You can now open projects in-place so the sources of your apps don't need to live in the app directory. In addition, all I/O operations are now done in a coordinated manner which makes other apps react nicely to changes made from play.js and vice versa.
Last but not least, we added TSX syntax highlighting and improved the in-app Web Browser.
1.9.0
2019-06-27

Other than this, we have added buttons to control the console and app preview visibility and fixed a couple of crashes.
