FAQs
What do I need to know to develop apps?
The first thing you'll need are some programming skills. The great news is that you don't have to learn a proprietary language to develop apps for the 4Store. All 4Store applications are based on Adobe Flash ActionScript 2.0. If you know Flash ActionScript, you could be posting your first applications within hours! If your app will access Internet-based services, you'll need to write some PHP (don't worry, we make it easy to get content from the web to your 4Store app). To make some great looking apps, you might need some design skills or input from a graphic designer.
If you know Flash ActionScript but don't know much about Control4, no problem! You can access introductory Control4 online training once you've created a Developers account.
Does it cost money to develop apps?
Yes. Control4 charges a nominal subscription fee to develop apps. The initial fee is $99 with an annual renewal of $99.
