Hi everyone!

We are thrilled to announce that last weekend, another Appery.io release successfully went live!

Let’s take a minute and look at the introduced features and check out how useful they are.

These include:

• Updated Disabled, Visible and Validation properties for the Ionic 5 UI components set;
• Improvements to working with variables;
• SendGrid and Mailgun Server Code plugins updates. We have also provided you with sample apps instructions for both SendGrid and Mailgun as well as with other relating documents so that you could start testing them yourself;
• Encoding to base64 is widely used for Basic authentication and it is now added to the Appery.io system libraries along with decoding, just in case. Check them out here for more details;
• Downloading file(s) from Media Manager;
• An extension on the set of icons that can be applied for iOS Apps binary:

• A modification to the Reorder component, so it is now easy to move and interact with components immediately after adding them:

That’s all for now, but stay tuned! We have more ideas on how to fulfill all of your Appery.io wish lists!

A new release from the Appery.io team arrived last Sunday, and we’ve introduced quite a few useful features to add to the functionality and versatility of working with our Visual App Builder.

Let’s check out the changes you need to know about!

From now on:

• Our new users will be welcomed with our branded easy-to-start wizard to assist them with creating their first-ever Appery.io mobile application:

• Customers who are confident with configuring config.xml in the app source files will be able to do so right from under the App settings tab;
• The option of validating that the Hot Code Push plug-in will be enabled when running the autoupdate task that will ensure that your app will be auto-updated as expected;
• Working with our sample apps has become as easy as it could possibly be; there’s no need to download the app backup and further install it – just click the needed link and the app is ready to start!
• The ability to work with custom back end has been added through our AppClient library;
• New themes now come with default colors:

• The possibility to create Models from json and/or service response as well as several new actions and plug-ins have been added to make development even more versatile

As a bonus, we have fixed several bugs and made some cosmetic improvements so that you can enjoy your development experience with Appery.io even more!

New to Appery.io? Want to build your first app with Ionic 5? Then we highly recommend that you start with our ready-to-go Ionic 5 Custom UI Components App Template. In this template, you can find all Ionic 5 UI components currently presented by Appery.io. You will be able to review all of them in detail and customize any component according to your needs.
Check out our instructional YouTube video to learn how to work with this sample app:

Bonus: we have also added new library versions: jqm 5.3, ionic 4 1.2 and ionic 5 1.1 so new Cordova Android 10.1.0 and Cordova iOS 6.2.0 are now available to our customers.

In our new video tutorial, you can learn how to format text using the pipes option. Alexander Ancypov from the Appery.io team will guide you through the process of creating pipes from the very beginning of the process till app testing.

You can easily add conditional logic to your Appery.io application without a TypeScript using our new “If Else” plug-in. Watch our new tutorial to learn more about the plug-in’s configuration.

When entering data into fields, sometimes you need to be sure that all fields include information. With our If Exists plug-in, you can quickly add verification of existing values in your Appery.io mobile and web applications. Watch our new tutorial for more details.

Our Appery.io Plug-ins Library simplifies the process of building apps. Our recent update is a confirm dialog box plug-in that you can add to your application to let users confirm or cancel actions.
