Samsung launches new SDKs for its devices to attract developers



At its first global developer-centric conference in
San Francisco, Samsung rolled out five software
development kits to lure developers into making
apps for its devices, in a move to create a robust
ecosystem that enables developers to make use
of Samsung’s exclusive features. Leading the pack is a multiscreen SDK, which will allow users to
share content across various Samsung devices
such as mobiles, tablets, and televisions; also
included is a multiscreen gaming engine
developed in partnership with Unity Technologies that will allow gaming on any Samsung TV paired
with a Samsung mobile or tablet. Other SDKs include the Mobile SDK, which offers
more precise S-Pen controls, new visual
animations, seamless handwriting recognition,
and a multi-window capability that lets you run
multiple resizable apps simultaneously; the new
Smart TV 5.0 SDK introduces features like close captioning support, broadcasting music to home
entertainment systems, and also supports the
aforementioned multiscreen functionality.
Bringing up the rear is a KNOX SDK, which will
allow developers to create apps that work well
with Samsung’s KNOX security container on mobile devices.
