Hi All
I love Corona so far. Have a big question though: how am I supposed to build a regular app using it? I mean, one that uses the same components and objects you could use with Xcode. Like: Lists, edit boxes and so on.
Any info on this regard will be greatly appreciated. I have many apps that depend on those basic components [import]uid: 5389 topic_id: 546 reply_id: 300546[/import]
I don’t think Corona is meant for applications with regular components (yet). The only native control I found in the documentation is a popup dialog with buttons.
The applications you build with Corona are Flash-like and it makes those easy and fun to buidl!
Just take a look at http://www.anscamobile.com/customers/ for some examples.

We also support webkit view (limited), native text fields, input text fields, multiline text fields, and keyboard support. Also added support for the different fonts on the iPhone. Plus more on the way.
Native MapKit View will be coming sooner than expected.

If we want to help enhance the language/framework. Is there any way the community could contribute? Also… any examples using what Carlos points here? [import]uid: 5389 topic_id: 546 reply_id: 1079[/import]
Ah yes, I forgot about the text fields and web kit. My apologies.
You can find an example of text fields in SampleCode/Social/Twitter and of web kit in SampleCode/Device/WebOverlay.
Note that these examples only work on the device, not in the simulator.

Carlos, any ETA for other native components?
