Codename One

Product: Codename One is an open-source cross-platform framework for Java and Kotlin developers to build native apps from a shared codebase.
App targets: The listed targets include Android, iOS, macOS, web browsers, Linux, and Windows.
UI: The toolkit draws its own components and packages its runtime and theme with the application.
Native access: Developers can call platform SDKs through native interfaces and embed heavyweight views such as maps, web views, and camera surfaces.
Build workflow: Current projects use Maven and can be opened in IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, Eclipse, VS Code, or another Maven-capable IDE.
Integrations: The documented sign-in stack covers OpenID Connect, Sign in with Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft Entra ID, Auth0, and Firebase Authentication.
Security: The security guide documents secure storage, encryption, certificate pinning, device integrity checks, and cryptographic APIs.
Enterprise security feature: App Shield is an Enterprise feature that issues short-lived attestation tokens based on server-side verification of Apple App Attest and Google Play Integrity statements.
Support: The Free plan includes community support, Pro includes email support, and Enterprise includes phone support during office hours.
Free limits: The free cloud tier has 100 build credits per month, with iOS builds using eight credits, and an 8.5 MB user JAR limit.
Commercial use: The framework is available for commercial use without royalties or per-app fees.
Build privacy: The pricing FAQ says normal builds do not send source code to the cloud, while native platform sources may be uploaded when required for native compilation.
Company history: Codename One's press page lists its initial release as 2012 and says its open-source project began in 2007 within Sun Microsystems.
Founded: 2012
Price from: $2.08/mo
