Mirror 1.1 is finally ready!

All the Mirror 1.0 features are now free

All the functionality from previous releases, plus a bunch of bug fixes and minor improvements are available in the free Mirror app on the app store. Mirror Server (the bit that runs on your computer) is also free to download and use. Mirror 1.0 was already an extremely useful tool, and we want as many people as possible to enjoy it.

Premium features

Mirror 1.1 adds a couple of very useful premium features, available as an in-app purchase:

Custom views

We’ve put a lot of effort into stable support for custom views, and we’re really excited to release this feature. Let us know how it works for you!

• Mirror will correctly load custom views that are referenced in layouts

• Custom attributes for custom views can be used in sample data

• Works with views from your project and from library projects

• Exceptions thrown from custom views are caught and displayed to help with debugging

Action bars

We’ve also added support for previewing action bars, so your app can look exactly like it will in production.

• Each sample data screen file can define an action bar

• Set the title, icon, and menu items

1.0.4 - October 8, 2013

1.0.2 - September 6, 2013
