We are proud to announce our March 2021 release: Appery.io is officially the first low code editor upgrading to Ionic 5!

The main focus is to introduce a smooth conversion from Ionic 4 to Ionic 5 and this has become one of our biggest achievements since we moved to Ionic 4. Transferring to this game-changing framework is already a big step but we would also like to share our long-term plans that go far beyond pure conversion.

• With this release, we are introducing Ionic 5 support and enabling all our users to create both Ionic 4 and Ionic 5 apps independently;
• In Q2 2021, the option of upgrading Ionic 4 projects to the Ionic 5 version with keeping both apps active will be offered;
• Yet another milestone will be disabling the possibility of creating Ionic 4 projects (early June);
• With all that being said, we will continue the support of all Ionic 4 projects and their backups until at least 2023.

And now, just in case you are still hesitant about whether you should evaluate the advantages Ionic 5 can bring to your project, we have outlined some of them to consider:

• Ionic 5 applications look very modern, run faster, and are much more reliable;
• The latest Ionic version follows the modern Material Design Guidelines and Human Interface Guidelines from Apple;
• Conversion and adoption rates are extremely favorable;
• With Ionic 5, you are guaranteed to enjoy working with the top-notch framework, efficiently collaborate with the Ionic community, and get access to the latest Ionic and Angular UI components;
• Custom animations, revamped Ionicons, updated Ionic colors, new starter designs, improvements to component customization (including but not limited to iOS 13 design updates), and more are available.

We are happy that our users will now be able to enjoy highly engaging development practices while creating native experiences on the most advanced mobile device versions.

On Sunday, February 28, from 01:00 to 09:00 (EST), we will be releasing new functionality for the Appery.io platform. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but our App builder and Backend services will not be available during the maintenance period. We greatly appreciate your patience.

With the “Segments” plug-in, you can quickly add segment buttons to your application and display fragments of information on one screen. Go and check our new tutorial to learn how to configure the plug-in in 4 minutes.

Last week, we announced the release of a credit card plug-in for the Ionic 4 Framework. To that end, we created a new tutorial where we demonstrate how the plug-in works and showcased two features: type detection and verification.

Dear Appery.io users,

We are pleased to let you know that a new plug-in from Appery.io, Credit Card Component, has just been released and is already available for use.

This plug-in makes creating UI for inputting credit card information really easy and allows adding credit cards to your app in no time at all.

You can find more details on our YouTube channel:

You can easily update your PWA application by installing the “PWA Create and Update” plug-in. Once published, your app will automatically be updated on users’ devices with new UI components. For more details about the process and benefits of updating PWA applications, check out the latest video tutorial on our YouTube channel.

Today we had a small but very important release. We added the auto-update feature for our most progressive framework – Ionic 4. Also, we fixed a few important and annoying bugs.

From now on, you can quickly add the built-in Stripe plug-in to your Appery.io web or PWA application. The plug-in integrates the Stripe payment method to your application and enables users to make purchases. This plug-in works through Appery.io API Express, which ensures the security of your Stripe API key.

In our latest tutorial, we explain how to resize images in your Appery.io app. It’s really simple – find the Resize Image plug-in in the catalog, configure it, and start modifying images’ widths, heights, and sizes according to your needs.
