AppGini Community Forums

I'm in the process of buying new PC to update my Windows Pro, all non-business models run with Snapdragon (Intel on business models only). Is this a problem, compatibility issue for running AppGini?

Did Google search and got this:

AI Overview
AppGini, a web application builder, is not inherently compatible with Snapdragon processors (ARM architecture) in the same way it is with traditional x86/x64 processors. Snapdragon devices typically run Windows on ARM, which may require apps to be recompiled or emulated to work correctly. AppGini, being a desktop application, would likely require either recompilation for ARM or rely on Windows' emulation layer to function on Snapdragon-powered Windows devices.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Different Architectures:
Snapdragon processors use the ARM architecture, while most desktop applications, like AppGini, are built for x86 or x64 (Intel/AMD) architectures.
Compatibility Challenges:
This difference in architecture can lead to compatibility issues. Windows on ARM devices use emulation to run x86/x64 applications, but this process can be slower and less reliable than running native ARM applications.
Potential Solutions:
Recompilation: The ideal solution would be for AppGini to be recompiled to produce a native ARM64 version. This would allow it to run at full speed on Snapdragon devices.
Emulation: Until then, users might need to rely on Windows' emulation layer to run AppGini. This is likely to result in reduced performance compared to a native ARM64 version.
Specific Considerations for AppGini:
AppGini's core functionality is based on generating code and interacting with a database. If the generated code is not architecture-agnostic, it might require modifications to work correctly on ARM.
The user interface of AppGini might also need adjustments to ensure proper display and interaction on Snapdragon devices.
General Advice:
Users considering Snapdragon-powered Windows devices for development or other tasks should be aware of potential compatibility issues and research the availability of native ARM versions for their specific applications.

That's an interesting question. Regarding the generated code, which is HTML, PHP, JavaScript and CSS, this should run on any platform. Regarding the AppGini executable itself, it should run on x86 and compatible architectures. Not sure about Arm as we haven't tested, but you can download the trial version and give it a try.

Hi,

well, my two cents: If the system (whichever you use) runs Apache, PHP and MySQL/MariaDB you should be fine. Those will take care of the "hardware" side. As JS is run in the browser, that (browser) will take care of it.
I would not expect any problems as long as the base software works.
For AG itself: It's a regular exe. Why shouldn't this run on Windows (I had it running on Win10 64bit and now Win11 64bit).
