We are happy to announce that our new App Builder release is live now! And this time it comes with a handful of new features, cool enhancements, and platform updates.

We hope you will enjoy all the new features, improvements, and updates listed below:

• Appery.io Educational Video Guide where you will learn how to create a stunning UI for your first mobile app, get help on adding the needed features, debugging and testing it, and much more…

• In conformity with the regulation from Google Play requiring that all apps meet target API level 31 (Android 12), all Android-built apps were successfully migrated to Android 12. No additional actions on your part are required.
• Also, uploading custom launch images was discontinued in Android 12 as the system will always apply the new Android system default splash screen on cold and warm starts for all apps. Please check here for more details.
• Auto Generation of iOS certificates was added to our platform which will significantly simplify building your apps for iOS.

• A brand new FilePicker core component that allows you to quickly add file selection to your app.

• Creating new app themes is now made more accessible and more user-friendly.

• Please be informed that support of the projects created with Ionic 4 was discontinued. In this regard, we recommend that you consider effortless migrating your Ionic 4 project(s) to their Ionic 5 version. You are welcome to check out this page to learn how to do it.
• And, finally, we would like to remind you that many of the 3rd party custom Cordova plug-ins that were previously released, but not timeously updated by their creators, can be broken or outdated and therefore not work as expected. Therefore, please be aware that every app created in Appery.io comes with Apache Cordova library installed and our users are free to add both plug-in types to their app(s):

  – Preconfigured Appery.io Cordova plug-ins (Core Cordova Plug-ins) that are verified to be up-to-date;

  – Custom Cordova plug-ins installed independently. Unfortunately, some of these may not be compatible with the latest technologies which is an issue beyond our control and may require additional troubleshooting. You may consider purchasing one of our Support Pack services if you need help with integrating custom Cordova plug-in(s) into your app.

Thank you for using Appery.io and Happy Developing!

Your Appery.io Team

We at Appery.io, have been working hard to fulfill our promise of a consistently updated and well-running platform and are thrilled to announce that the option of a free upgrade for Ionic 4 projects to their Ionic 5 version is available for all our customers!

The best news is that from now on, you are free not only to create separate Ionic 4 and Ionic 5 apps but also to migrate your Ionic 4 project(s) to their Ionic 5 version while keeping both apps active. All you need to do is accept the offer to upgrade from under your Apps page and then confirm:

Not sure how this move can benefit your development practice? Then we recommend that you check out our blog post here to learn about the main advantages of the Ionic 4 > Ionic 5 upgrade.

If you can’t wait to migrate to Ionic 5 but still have some questions about the upgrade process, please visit this page for more details.

And last but not least, with this release, we are also introducing a new feature that you, our users, have suggested to us: our Theme Generator for Ionic 4/5 apps. Creating custom themes and reusing them is now much simpler and more visual.

We’re so excited for you to start using this upgrade! Our goal is always to provide a highly usable low-code app builder, and your feedback helps us get there. As always, please let us know if you have any ideas or questions, and stay tuned for more updates coming soon!

Happy developing!

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.

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.

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.
