Tizen Development Environment Focused on VSCode
Tizen 9.0 Features – VSCode
A New VSCode-Centered Tizen Development Environment
The Tizen SDK now offers a modernized development environment centered around Visual Studio Code (VSCode). This setup is lightweight, fast, and supports a flexible workflow that aligns with today’s development trends. Compared to the Eclipse-based Tizen Studio, it provides a much smoother and more intuitive user experience.
Unified Development for Native, Web, and .NET Apps
By installing the Tizen Plugin in VSCode, developers can build native, web, and .NET applications within a single, unified tool. There’s no need to install separate tools for each platform, enabling efficient development across all application types. This integrated approach brings significant advantages for team collaboration and multi-platform development.
Advanced Development Tools for Greater Productivity
The new Tizen development environment includes a variety of advanced tools. Performance and memory profilers, static and dynamic analysis tools, and powerful debuggers are all integrated within VSCode. These tools help developers quickly detect and resolve performance bottlenecks, enabling the delivery of high-quality software.
Improved User Experience and Streamlined SDK Setup
The Tizen SDK also focuses on improving the user experience. The SDK installation process has been streamlined, and UI/UX enhancements have been made to reduce friction during initial setup. Comprehensive documentation and well-organized example projects make it easy for new developers to get started.
Planned Deprecation of Tizen Studio and Transition Strategy
We are gradually phasing out support for the legacy Eclipse-based Tizen Studio. While maintenance will continue through the end of 2025, all new feature development will focus exclusively on the VSCode environment. This plan is designed to give developers ample time to adjust and minimize disruption.
Migration Tools and Guides for a Smooth Transition
To support a smooth transition, we provide migration guides and detailed tutorials. Existing projects can be continued seamlessly in the new VSCode environment, with familiar flows for certificate management and device connections. This minimizes the learning curve and encourages faster adoption.
The Future of Tizen Development Begins with VSCode
We strongly encourage Tizen developers to adopt the new VSCode-based environment for higher productivity and greater flexibility. The new tools enable faster, smarter development and are closely aligned with the future of the Tizen platform. Now is the perfect time to be part of the next generation of Tizen development.
