AppMaster No-Code Platform Latest Updates | December 2023
Explore AppMaster's December 2023 updates! Learn about new features available to elevate your development process.
The latest AppMaster updates have arrived! In December, we focused on making your app development process on our no-code platform even more efficient.
Let’s find out what’s new on AppMaster!
Passkey for AppMaster Studio
One significant update is that AppMaster Studio now offers an additional secure login option by implementing Passkey. This new feature allows users to swiftly access the studio with security, that aligns with the latest authentication standards for convenience and protection.
The update shows our commitment to providing a safe and user-friendly experience for all AppMaster platform users.
Improved Launch Reports
We’ve also made some substantial backend development enhancements that will definitely optimize your workflows and enhance your application's performance.
In our latest update, we optimized the launch reports for backend application startups. AppMaster users will now notice a reduction in average startup time by 3-4 seconds, and further studio optimization will reduce it by about another 3 seconds.
This increase in startup efficiency leads to quicker publishing and, as a result, a more agile environment for testing application updates. All in all, the feature allows developers to iterate and improve their projects easily.
New Block for Backend Applications
The DB: Create Bulk block is now available in the Business Process Designer for backend applications. This new feature allows you to simultaneously add several records from an array of models without using loops.
Using the DB: Create Bulk block will significantly speed up the creation of a large number of records, which will have a positive impact on the performance of your application.
iOS Updates
Put maps into your app
Use the Mapbox module to bring location and maps into your mobile app.
AppMaster’s December iOS updates were all about improving speed and broadening functionality:
- UI Elements Rendering Speed: We’ve accelerated the rendering speed for UI elements to enhance the responsiveness of your iOS applications.
- Mapbox Module: The new Mapbox module was added, so you can incorporate Mapbox geolocation and maps into your mobile apps.
- Trigonometry Blocks: Now, AppMaster users can expand their app's capabilities with new trigonometry blocks for more sophisticated mathematical operations.
- Cryptography Blocks: We’ve also added new blocks to facilitate the implementation of cryptographic functions, ensuring better security for app data.
- Navigation Rework: Our team has conducted a comprehensive rework of the navigation system, and now it ensures proper functioning of all cases with 'use_container', 'add', and more.
Stay tuned for further updates! We'll continue working on our platform so your app development can be easier and even more effective.
FAQ
What is Passkey in AppMaster Studio?Passkey lets you sign in to AppMaster Studio with a secure credential stored on your device, rather than typing a password. It offers a faster login option while following current authentication practices.
Do I still need to use a password after enabling Passkey?You can use Passkey as an additional way to access AppMaster Studio. Set it up on a supported device, then use that device's sign-in prompt when you return to the studio.
How much faster do backend applications start after this update?The updated reports reduce the average backend application startup time by about 3 to 4 seconds. Planned Studio optimizations aim to remove roughly another 3 seconds.
How do improved launch reports help when testing changes?Faster startup means you spend less time waiting when you publish or test backend changes. That makes short test-and-adjust cycles easier during active development.
What does the DB: Create Bulk block do?DB: Create Bulk creates multiple database records from an array of models in one Business Process step. You do not need to build a loop that creates each record separately.
When should I use DB: Create Bulk instead of a loop?Use it when your process already has an array of models and needs to save all of them. It suits imports, form batches, and other flows that create many similar records at once.
Why can bulk record creation improve app performance?The bulk block avoids repeated record-creation steps in your Business Process. For large batches, that can shorten the process and reduce unnecessary workflow complexity.
What changed for iOS apps in the December update?iOS apps now render UI elements faster, which can make screens feel more responsive. The update also includes Mapbox support, math blocks, cryptography blocks, and navigation fixes.
What can I build with the new Mapbox module?The Mapbox module lets you add Mapbox maps and geolocation features to an AppMaster mobile app. You can use it when your app needs location-aware screens or interactive maps.
What do the new iOS logic and navigation updates add?The new blocks let you perform trigonometric calculations and add cryptographic functions in your app logic. The navigation rework also improves behavior in cases that use options such as use_container and add.
