Xojo 2025R1 Launches With Linux ARM Support, Web Drag And Drop And Direct App Store Submission

AUSTIN, Texas, March 25, 2025 /CNW/ -- Xojo, Inc., the developers behind Xojo—a powerful cross-platform development tool and programming language— announce the immediate availability of Xojo 2025 Release 1. This update introduces support for running the Xojo IDE on Linux ARM, drag and drop functionality in the Web framework and the ability to submit apps directly to the Mac and iOS App Stores from Xojo.

Xojo 2025r1 delivers powerful new features and updates across all Desktop, Web and Mobile platforms. Developers can now run the Xojo IDE on Linux ARM devices, including Raspberry Pi, making it easier than ever to build apps for the platform. With Xojo's IDE and cross-platform support, developers can create apps for the Pi without the complexity of traditional programming environments.

This release delivers the highly anticipated Web drag and drop support, allowing users to drag and drop any visual control, plus a supercharged WebListBox. "This release empowers Xojo Web projects to meet more user needs, no JavaScript required. Drag and drop is now available making it easy to create more interactive applications," says Ricardo Cruz, Xojo Engineer.

The deployment process is further simplified by direct publishing of macOS and iOS apps to App Store Connect. Additional improvements include a default Window menu for Desktop projects and new mobile features for Android and iOS. Additionally, key IDE improvements have been introduced. "Xojo 2025r1 is a significant release that brings improvements to every platform we support," said Geoff Perlman, Xojo Founder and CEO. "With these updates, we continue our mission to make cross-platform app development more accessible and efficient for everyone."

Linux ARM IDE Support: Now available, including Raspberry Pi.
App Store Publishing: Directly publish macOS Desktop and iOS projects to App Store Connect from the IDE.
