To upgrade or not to upgrade from API 1.0 to Arel

[Luciano]

Hi,

I have a GLUE API 1.0 application that was used during a conference some time ago. The application will be used again for another event in a few weeks by the same company. My question is, would it be better to upgrade the app to AREL or leave it like it is? 

I tested the 'old' code with the latest version of Junaio and it is running. Which would suggest to leave it like it is. But during the first conference there were some compatabilitiy issues. Especially with Android, but even on iOS for some people it wasn't working properly. Now the first conference was beginning this year, so maybe these issues were fixed along the way. 

I have a feeling that the latest API is more stable, though I did saw that my latest Arel app was not working on SGS2, but was on SGS3 using the Junaio beta release. Also having 2 versions of Junaio, one called beta, does indicate some trouble ahead.

What would you suggest? The actual conversion wouldn't take that long and would provide some added benefits from an application perspective.

Hi Luciano,

I would definitely suggest to move to the new API - especially as you mention that it would provide some added benefits and wouldn't take that long to convert.

What exactly was the problem with your latest Arel app on SGS2? We're currently finalizing the next upcoming release, so it would definitely be good to know about the issue you had.

Cheers,

Stefan

Thanks Stefan!

I can't remember exactly what problems we had with the SGS2. First it kept saying something along the lines of 'you need to upgrade to the latest junaio to view this channel', even though we were firing up the latest beta. I'm not quite sure if we got passed it, and then the channel was loaded but nothing visible. I do remember that we couldn't get it to work, whereas someone with an SGS3 was able to see the Arel channel.
