Which Development Environments (IDE) for Android and IOS using Lua?

The list is long.

To develop on Lua, you can check out a very extensive but not exhaustive list on the lua-users wiki. . Here is the list if the link falls:

IDE's that work with Lua through the use of plugins:

• Eclipse
• Emacs
• Howl
• IntelliJ IDEA
• Visual Studio

IDE's that work with Lua without needing a plugin:

• Corona SDK
• Decoda
• Glider
• ZeroBrane Studio
• LuaEdit 2010
• wxLua
• Star Editor
• Gideros Studio
• Game Kitchen
• Comet

Publishers only:

• CodeMAX
• SciTE
• Textadept
• I came
• Zeus for Windows

I left out thirteen IDE's that have not been updated for a long time.

As you can see, there are more options than you have teeth. We can not indicate one IDE or another easily - each has its unique characteristics (I leave it to your discretion to study them), and the only ways to find out the most appropriate for your case are:

• Test one by one, or;
• Have enough knowledge about IDE features that you would not have to ask the question anyway.

I was going to put together a list of IDE's for Android, but a quick search made me feel that the list might be even bigger than that of Lua's IDE's. But there are some better known. I'll quote:

• Eclipse
• Android Studio
• Visual Studio (especially if you use Xamarin)

Now for iOS, you have:

• Xcode
• AppCode
• Code Runner
• Visual Studio (again, especially with Xamarin)

Again, I believe that if you look hard enough you will find material to last a lifetime.

The fact is that today, for any language of commercial success, the programmer just does not use an IDE that is convenient if you do not want to.

For IOS, I've already used Codea . It seems to be user friendly, with a built-in game engine. For prototypes and early stages for project evaluation, it can help.
