SDK is the abbreviation for software development kit. It is a set of development tools that make it easier to develop applications for a particular platform. Apple and Google, for example, offer a development kit for iOS and Android.
What is an SDK?
What are examples of an SDK?
A development kit contains several tools for software developers. In the kit for iOS, for example, you will find Xcode, in which a programmer can develop apps. There is also an iOS Simulator to test apps for iPhone or iPad, as well as an interface builder to design the UI with a simple drag and drop system.
These companies also offer one or more development kits:
- Java;
- Android;
- Mac OS X;
- Windows 10.
An SDK should not be confused with an API: an API is a functionality that lets one application communicate with another. An SDK gives you tools to develop software for a particular platform.
