Last year, Amazon introduced AppStream a good way to help developers deliver applications to consumers in the course of the cloud. The proposed benefit was that developers could deliver applications to consumers no matter their hardware due to the appliance running on cloud servers. It’s been in beta because it was announced, but now it’s finally ready.

Amazon announced this morning that AppStream is finally out of beta and available to all developers. Going forward, developers would be ready to utilize Amazon Web Services to host applications at the cloud which are then streamed to consumer devices. AppStream can be utilized for nearly anything as Amazon can stream applications off of a desktop PC or a mobile device running FireOS, Android or iOS.

With the general public release, Amazon has also added some new features to AppStream:

  • Automated Version Resolution – AppStream now detects the SDK version that was used to create a shopper and launches compatible backend services automatically. This permits AppStream and the SDK to adapt without the will for a consumer upgrade.
  • Mac Client Support – There’s now an OSX SDK to enable the construction of clients that run at the Mac.
  • Client SDK Improvements – The shopper SDKs was improved and now include support for game controllers. In addition they provided an enhanced input mapping model for keyboard and touch events.
  • Simplified Getting-Started Experience – We’ve improved the documentation and the packaging model so that they can get your first application up and running quickly.
