What's New?

LocalDB for Android

We have added a Local Database (LDB) for Android applications. Every Android application has a local SQLite relational database enabled by default. It supports all modern features for offline data storage on users' devices. A separate data model editor will be available for each mobile application in future platform versions for developers.

DeepLink support in Android apps

Now, developers can create DeepLinks, using which they can run applications with the necessary logic on users' devices. The DeepLink mechanism is available for the AppMaster Developer application and in published applications. The onDeepLink application-level trigger is used to process DeepLinks.

Updated UI designer for mobile apps

We've updated the layout of elements in the mobile app designer to make it easier to work with the element tree. We've also grouped menu items logically. The setting of triggers at the mobile application level has been moved to the application settings and aligned with the overall design.

Screen auto-generation in mobile applications

Screen auto-generation is now available on the platform. Developers can use auto-generation of screens, triggers, and field validation when creating mobile applications. It is also possible to create a template for a quick start of the project, which you can easily customize later.

Updated reactive changes to elements

The method of reactive modification of elements has been updated. It allows changing elements’ properties: color, size, and other parameters. These changes have greatly improved element rendering performance and almost doubled it in some scenarios.
