How do you use Corona Enterprise?

[sansu.abraham]

Corona development platform has two versions: a free core product named Corona SDK and the additional paid option named Corona Enterprise.

The Enterprise allows developers use native libraries in their apps in exchange for a license fee.

when developers download Corona, it is a combined package which includes both the core product and the native-based product Enterprise.

This is old information. Corona Enterprise is now known as Corona Native and is included in the core product. We also don’t refer to the simulator product as SDK any longer.

I went Enterprise solely for getting offline builds for our automated build scripts.

The main draw of Corona for me is I can just concentrate on coding and you guys handle the compiling.  Enterprise doesn’t seem to fit that paradigm so I will be sticking to AWS builds as this is Corona’s core strength.  

The big draw for me was the simplicity and the “write once and distribute to multiple platforms” and that is something you need to keep to continue bringing in new devs to the platform.  The minute I need to worry about “Xcode or Android Studio” then the complexity ramps up and I get bogged down in the implementation and my focus is taken away from “code, compile and play”.

Corona will fall short of Unity, Game maker and other platforms as it is not an fully fledged IDE - yes features like edit and continue would be awesome!  Where it majors is in not having the bloat that comes with those and most importantly a vibrant community and decent documentation.
