[More] Applications for the newly released Gear S3 can be developed with Tizen Studio 1.0. The existing Tizen SDK was released in accordance with the Tizen platform version. Since there was 1 SDK program for each platform, you had to install several SDK programs to develop for several platforms. It was difficult to maintain and manage the related updates as well. Accordingly, since Tizen 2.4 SDK, there has been an attempt to integrate the whole. Starting from Tizen Studio 1.0, you can select and install the necessary platforms and profiles with a one-time installation. In addition, the Tizen Studio has been made stable and lightweight through a platform version-up, and its usability has been improved through the overall improvement of UX and UI.
