Marmalade SDK is a cross platform, software development kit from Ideaworks3D Limited[1] that contains library files, samples, documentation and tools required to develop, test and deploy applications for mobile devices.
The SDK features BlackBerry PlayBook support[2] since August 2011[3]. Marmalade SDK development is active with Microsoft Windows 8 support plans in October 2012[4] and iOS 6, iPhone 5 support announced in November 2012[5].
Marmalade SDK has been criticised for its C++ language choice, lack of multithreading and minor appearance integration issues[6]. However the downsides are characteristic for other third-party SDKs; some native OS platforms lack these disadvantages but not portable[7].
