If you are developing a mobile app, you’re likely to need some kind of a menu to easily show when needed and to hide otherwise for conserving screen space. There is a really cool native-like Ionic component to do this that is available out-of-the-box in Appery.io. Simply turn it on by toggling the Is Enabled option and adjust for your needs. Then, in the app, swipe the content left or right to open this side menu.
Like standard UI elements, such as buttons, input and text areas, the Appery.io App Builder also provides a convenient and ready-to-use Google Maps component for your AngularJS apps. This component contains a large set of visually configurable properties and entities like markers and windows.
There is a lot of help available for you to get the most out of this component. We’ve got detailed guides, a modularly organized tutorial, and our always helpful support team.
Being able to share an app with a customer, a colleague, or a friend so they can test and run an app is a core benefit in a mobile platform. Since the beginning, the Appery.io platform has made it very simple to test and run you mobile app in the browser or as a hybrid app via the Appery.io Mobile Tester app for iOS and for Android. With the tester app, you can run and test your hybrid app, including any native APIs, without having to install the app on a device each time.
We are happy to announce today that anyone can test and run your mobile app via the Appery.io Tester app—even without an Appery.io account. This means after installing the tester app, anyone can try your app!
Most mobile apps include user registration and login, but most users don’t want to remember yet another password. One way of easing this burden is to allow signing in via a social network (via OAuth). Now, Appery.io developers can quickly incorporate this feature in their apps with a few steps. Set up your app with the social networks you want to use, configure the Appery,io database by providing information you get from the social network, and use the Appery.io Social Login API in your app. We’ve spelled out all the details in this handy doc.
The new update has a lot of new features. These features include:

Collaboration is a really powerful and convenient feature in Appery.io making it easy to develop and test mobile apps with your own team. Your team members can be anywhere, and you can all work and collaborate on the app at the same time. When using this feature, there are a number of standard roles right out of the box, such as Admin, Team Lead, Developer, and Tester, which can be assigned to your teammates. Each role contains specific default permissions for different resources, but these permissions can easily be reconfigured for any of the roles.
Do you need non-technical people or the app owner to manage app data and send push messages without the help of developers? The Appery.io Customer Console allows you to manage app data (database) such as adding, editing and removing data. Any changes will be automatically reflected in the app. You can also send (and schedule) push notifications. All this can be done without involving developers or using the developer console.
One of the core benefits Appery.io platforms provides is the ability to customize any app with custom code. While the visual builder offers speed and simplicity, being able to write code, add 3rd party libraries gives you the flexibility you need to customize the app as much as you need. In this example we are going to show you how to build an app with infinite scroll feature — as you scroll down, list data will be automatically loaded.
You will create an app that loads a list of dog breads. As you scroll in the app, the data will be loaded automatically. The app looks like this:

You can make your existing SQL database RESTful via API Express in just minutes. By exposing your SQL database via REST APIs, you can quickly build a mobile app (or web app) that talks to the database. This is a very common requirement when building enterprise mobile apps. API Express is a very powerful tool, so we’ve created several guides to help you get started. You can watch the video, try the step-by-step tutorial or read more about API Express here.
