Pebble Developer Blog

Last week, we released both the 2.1 Pebble firmware, as well as the 2.1 Pebble SDK. Please make sure you have the latest version of the SDK (2.1.1) -- the latest update is available from the developer site.

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.

If you have already published an app, or are planning on publishing an app, here are some tips for a successful appstore launch.

We've had a pretty awesome start to 2014 and we couldn't have done it without you! First, we kicked off the year by sponsoring the wildly successful AT&T Developer Summit hackathon, which was followed shortly after by our announcement of the new Pebble Steel during CES. In addition, we announced that 2.0 will be publicly released along with the Pebble appstore at the end of January. Here's a sneak peek of what the appstore will look like.

Hi Pebblers!

We're really looking forward to our next open lab that we're hosting at Pebble HQ this Friday.

This is a great opportunity for you to hack on your latest projects and receive help from our developer evangelists, Thomas and Cherie.

Hi Pebblers!

We had a blast at the first open lab that we hosting at Pebble HQ last Friday. We know many of you were interested in joining, but perhaps you don't live in the area, or you just weren't able to make it; to help with this, we're now announcing our first Virtual Lab for Pebble Developers! This is a great opportunity for you to hack on your latest projects and receive help from our developer evangelists, Thomas and Cherie, in an online setting.

One of the most useful additions to the Pebble SDK in the 2.0 beta release is the introduction of PebbleKit JS and the ability to use a webview on your phone to configure your watch app. Since we've been seeing a good number of questions on this new feature, we figured we'd talk about it a little more.

We recently introduced our Pebble SDK 2.0 beta and we're excited to now also announce a new way for you to earn a Pebble to develop your 2.0 apps on!

Yesterday, we announced the beta release of our 2.0 SDK and got overwhelmingly helpful feedback from all of you. Today, we are equally excited to announce that your favorite apps are now also available on v2.0, ready to download! We contacted some of the developers to get their feedback on the new SDK, along with some tips and tricks for those of you that are just starting out with the new Pebble SDK.

Hi Pebblers!
