hp prime sdk for app development

[Insoft]

You can use Xcode or Visual Studio Code to write PPL code and then test it in the HP Prime emulator. To do this, drag and drop the UTF-16LE `.hpprgm` file into the HP Connectivity Kit to load it into the emulator.

If you drop a plain UTF-16LE file without the `.hpprgm` header and footer into the HP Prime emulator’s `Calculators/Prime` directory, it will not appear. If documentation were available on the `.hpprgm` file structure, you could create a command-line tool to add the necessary header and footer, allowing you to build a valid `.hpprgm` file directly. This would enable you to write PPL code in Xcode, generate the correct `.hpprgm` file, and test it in the emulator without using the HP Connectivity Kit.
