Fabric March update

By Jonathan Zazove, Product Manager

Between the holidays and celebrations in March, we haven’t forgotten our mission to build the best developer tools to make your lives easier. During March, we hunkered down and shipped a number of major releases: Fabric for Unity, Nuance Kit and fastlane for Android v1.0, among other upgrades and enhancements.

Doubling down on games with Fabric for Unity

For years, Twitter has helped game developers deliver amazing experiences through rich content and app distribution tools that drive discovery and conversation about your content. Within the Fabric team, we doubled down on that support by releasing Fabric for Unity earlier this month. Now, you can easily build, distribute, and monetize your games with best-in-class tools all readily accessible in one place.

Nuance SpeechKit now available on Fabric

Today, we're thrilled to share that Nuance have made their SpeechKit SDK available via Fabric. Nuance gives you tools to quickly develop a natural speech interface for applications. They offer highly-accurate cloud speech recognition, an extensive portfolio of natural sounding text-to-speech voices, and the flexibility to use their speech with a variety of platforms and languages. Just like all of our kits on Fabric, you can install or update the SpeechKit with just a few clicks. We take care of all the grunt work like provisioning your keys, so if you already have an account with Nuance, you can easily onboard your app.

fastlane for Android: now official

Since we opened beta access to fastlane’s support for Android a few months ago, we’ve been expanding its capabilities and doubling down on serving the mobile ecosystem. Today, we're thrilled to share that we're officially releasing fastlane for Android v1.0. Now, you’ll get the same award-winning app deployment experience as on iOS. We’re really grateful for the strong fastlane community whose contributions helped bring a stable, reliable version for us to release. We're excited to continue helping you build, test and release the best apps and updates to the Google Play Store!
