Outlaw For Mac

Outlaw (formerly Corona Project Manager - CPM) is a versatile Mac OS X tool designed as a full-featured integrated development environment for the Corona SDK mobile development framework. The app supports Moai SDK as well an helps you manage your development projects as well as to edit code.

With Outlaw, you an easily add, manage and keep track of projects and assets, such as source files, media files, documents and more. Overall, the application aims to provide a streamlined workflow when dealing with Corona mobile app development.

Your projects and included source files can be easily accessed via a left pane. Moreover, you can open multiple source files and edit them at the same time. On the right, the extras pane lets you view and modify the functions, tags, properties or snippets of the current document.

The code editor is obviously an important function in the app and offers plenty of good features. It provides a clean look, autocomplete capabilities, syntax highlighting, line numbering, auto indent, code folding, comment / uncomment blocks of code and more.

Another benefit of using Outlaw is the support for dynamic assets. You can create new assets from an existing file or create a new LUA file from scratch. Assets play an important role in your development workflow because they allow you to launch a project that does not include a main. lua file or turn on / off source, media or graphic files.

A terminal to quickly run commands is also part of Outlaw’s organized user interface. In addition to this, it includes an upper toolbar with shortcuts to the most commonly used actions, such as New Group, New Project, New Asset, Launch, Stop or Publish.

To conclude, not only does Outlaw provide an intuitive workspace for mobile app development for Corona SDK projects, but it allows you to create mobile apps from top to bottom. An important thing to note is that Outlaw does not work with paid or demo versions of Corona SDK and supports only building iOS apps and games.
