AUSTIN, Texas, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Xojo, Inc., the developers behind Xojo—
a powerful cross-platform development tool and programming language—today announced
the immediate availability of Xojo 2026 Release 2. This release focuses on accelerating
development with improved AI-assisted capabilities, expanded Desktop controls, boosted
web framework performance, SEO-ready web pages, and extended mobile support.

This release introduces a new DesktopScrollableArea control. Additionally, the DesktopToolbar
now supports different toolbar styles and symbol-based button icons, allowing users
to specify a semicolon-separated list of symbol names. For web developers, there
are major behind-the-scenes improvements that boost performance from 8-9k to over
13k requests per second. WebGraphics gains DrawPath and FillPath methods for cross-
target parity, and WebImageViewer eliminates flicker on updates. WebPage.Show in
HandleURL is now opt-in through a WebSessionContext, enabling explicit SEO support.
On mobile, iOS gains MobileMenuItem and MobilePopupMenu, while Android gains XMLDocument
and MobileMenuItem support. MobilePopupMenu and MobileSwitch adopt modern Material
styling for a refreshed cross-platform experience.

The release also expands copy-and-paste capabilities for your Xojo code. Whether
users are working with LLM AI chats or writing a blog post, sharing Xojo code is
significantly easier with the ability to copy entire project items from Xojo as 
text, plus the ability to paste multiple members at once, including properties. 
Jade, Xojo’s AI assistant, now works with OpenAI, OpenRouter, and local LLMs. When
used with Anthropic Claude or OpenAI, Jade can now request project context, including
source code and compile errors.

"With Release 2, we’ve pushed hard on two fronts: making AI assistance more capable
and more flexible, and delivering real, tangible improvements across every platform
we support," said Geoff Perlman, Founder and CEO of Xojo, Inc. "Jade’s ability to
work with multiple AI providers, including local LLMs, and to pull in project context
like source code and compile errors is excellent for productivity. Combined with
major web performance gains, new Desktop controls, and expanded mobile APIs for 
both iOS and Android, this release truly has something for every Xojo user."
