Pebble Developer Blog

If you are new to Pebble development you are probably wondering: What does Pebble source code look like? How do I compile an app? How do I install it on my Pebble? These are all excellent questions and the answer takes less than 5 minutes to demonstrate! And we hope you will be following along on your computer!

We'd like to share with you a great opportunity to learn more about Pebble development through a webinar that is taking place on Monday, March 31st from 14:00 – 15:00 GMT (10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT). The webinar is entitled "Use AppCode to Develop for the Pebble Smartwatch" and is being presented by Heiko Behrens, one of the developers of PebbleCam.

Dear Pebble Developers,

Submissions are now closed, and you can vote for your favorite apps in the Pebble App Challenge. Visit the challenge page to review the submissions and cast your vote.

Now is a great time to encourage your friends, colleagues and peers to support your work and vote. The voting period this week is open to everyone, including non-Pebble users.

Voting will be open until Thursday 5 pm PDT. At the end of the week, the Top 16 apps will be selected to compete next week in the Pebble appstore for the grand prize.

May the best app win!

This February, three Pebble developer evangelists headed out to Philadelphia for PennApps 2014.

It's now even easier to get started with Pebble development or prototype new ideas!

CloudPebble recently gained support for building Simply.js projects – which means you can now write, build and install simple apps entirely in JavaScript and inside your web browser.

Android Beta 11 was just released. This version is a huge improvement to BETA10, it fixes the most annoying bugs in BETA10 but also improves stability considerably.

Until today, installing the Pebble SDK meant downloading and unzipping the SDK and arm tools, installing some python requirements and updating your bash_profile.
