SAP, Apple to release IoS tools

apple and SAP took another step toward courting millions of developers who write applications for SAP’s systems, saying they’ll release a software development kit for iPhones and iPads on March 30.

The tools, which the companies said they’d build last May, lets the 2.5 million developers who customise SAP’s financial and logistics programmes tap into building blocks of Apple’s iOS operating system, including fingerprint sign-on and location awareness.

The companies announced the release on Monday.
