We are investigating the implementation of our ImageEn Image Library for the FireMonkey platform to support Windows, Android, iOS and MacOS.
With the release of FireMonkey, Delphi and C++ developers can now build cross-platform applications for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, but presently there is no FireMonkey imaging library of the calibre of ImageEn.
Perhaps you are already a user of ImageEn looking to transition to a cross-platform solution, or maybe you are a FireMonkey developer looking to enhance your applications with imaging functionality. Either way, your support for ImageEn for FireMonkey will allow us to deliver the solution you need.
To get started, we only need pledges for 100 licenses. Please support our project by pledging at:
