How it works
Backend-Driven UI
Abstract all visual information and data on the server-side and update them anytime without the constraint of app stores’ release, and also reduce inconsistencies between mobile platforms.
The backend dictates how data should be presented.- The client knows how to render predefined UI elements.
- No issues when rendering complex widgets.
- More flexibility when it comes to running UI experiments.

Triggers, actions & conditions for the interactive experienceTriggers and Actions implement interactivity and react to the user's actions in your mobile app applications. Every component inside the Mobile App has a set of triggers that fired during some actions from the user's input or component status changes.
Access to device hardware features and sensorsA native mobile application can use all of the device’s resources, such as internal memory, camera, microphone, accelerometer, compass, light sensor, GPS, biometric authentication hardware, access photo and video files, address book, geolocation, player, calendar, etc.

Run app in Background mode in Android and iOSA foreground app transitions to the background when another app is launched or when the user returns to the Home screen to improve user experience and extend battery life. Your app is only allowed to keep running in the background in very specific cases: playing audio, getting location updates, fetching the latest content from a server, etc.
Create an incredible offline apps experienceOffline mode is a feature that allows users to access mobile apps without the Internet. Offline mode limits a user’s inconvenience when the internet connection is lost or intermittent.
Brotli vs GZIP: Pick the One That’s Right For YouBrotli and GZIP compression for server communication of your mobile application’s files is a great way to shrink your page sizes, speed up your application, and improve its performance.
Aggressively caching to minimize latency, screen and data prefetchBy caching the data from API calls in Realm, the data is always available to your app. This leads to higher availability, faster response times, and reduced network and battery consumption.

Applications are written in SwiftUI for iOS, and Kotlin/JetPack Compose for Android. We are using a server-driven UI. The interface is created according to the principle similar to the creation of pages on the Internet: elements are positioned using flexbox, all parameters such as margin, padding, and many others are set for them. At the same time, the applications are entirely native. You can use all hardware features: camera, Bluetooth, wi-fi, and various specific features, for example, special gestures for control.
AppMaster.io supports several triggers and actions: offer level, screen level, widget level, and module level. All triggers and actions are developed using mobile business processes. They are implemented as simple blocks with which you can create screen navigation, send notifications to mail, and fully manage the properties of widgets/components. In addition, AppMaster.io has such blocks of business processes: type conversion, mathematical operations, string processing, working with arrays, local and global variables, loops, and checking if-else conditions. All this helps carry out the entire processing of many cases on the client-side without the server's participation.
The time of publication is determined by its verification. It depends not on AppMaster.io, but the Apple Store and Play Market moderators. But we made sure to speed up the process of publishing updates. Applications made on AppMaster.io need only be published once, and after verification and publication, AppMaster.io can deliver updates instantly via the cloud. The user does not even need to download a new version of the application; he will receive updates automatically.
