Start Edition

Does the Devkit also support ArchiCAD Start Edition?

E.g. can an ArchiCAD 19 APX run on ArchiCAD Start Edition 2016 (based on 19)?

I assume that you have to take care not to use methods that call into non-supported functionality (e.g. Publisher, ...).

Yes, I believe they're fully compatible (with the limitations you noted).

I can confirm that we can run the add-in from ArchiCAD 19 on the Start Edition 2016 (without special re-compilation).

There isn't any restriction on the API, but restrictions inside ARCHICAD do apply; and yes, please do not call any unsupported function (though you should get an error code if you do that...)
