The Application Enhancer SDK allows you to create Application Enhancer modules. It provides facilities for everything that is needed to create a fully-functioning APE module. Application Enhancer SDK is used in such well-known products as WindowShade X, FruitMenu, Labels X, and many others.

Includes:

• ApplicationEnhancer.framework containing everything you need to start developing your own APE module.
• Interapplication and intermodule communication facilities.
• Application Enhancer client auto-installing facilities in case you don't want to send user to Application Enhancer homepage.
• Objective-C method and C/C++ function trapping facilities.
• Free technical support. (limited)
• Example extensions with source code, including Metallifizer sources.

Application Enhancer SDK is also available in APE Lite form, which only provides facilities to change Mach-O symbols inside of your running process. APE Lite SDK is now available freely as a part of the SDK for you to use - you can look at the APELite.h file to get an impression what it can do for you. However, even though APELite is free to use, it still requires a license agreement.

Licensing terms in brief:

• A license agreement is required for any software using APE SDK or APE Lite SDK;
• APE SDK is licensed per-product, not per-company;
• Licensing fees depend on the product distribution model:
• • Freeware - no license fees (license agreement is still required);
  • Shareware - $100/product;
  • Commercial - $1000/product;
  • Shareware generating revenue more than $10,000/year is considered commercial.
  • Product has to be re-licensed if you're making an upgrade and charging upgrade fee for it. Free software upgrades are not required to be re-licensed. Please contact us for more detailed information.
• APE Lite is free to use, regardless of the product distribution model. However, a license is required for a fee of $0.
