4D for iOS: Go fully offline

Automatically translated from English

Nowadays, mobile users expect apps to work even when they’re offline. Otherwise, a poor network connection can give a poor user experience. Offline mode is no longer just an extra feature you can choose to add to your app, it’s something many users expect, especially for delivery apps with GPS navigation, apps for urgent medical assistance, construction businesses, and banking apps.

As you may already know, since v17 R2, 4D for iOS already allows users of the application to view data offline. But something was missing.

What about offline tasks?

Push notification with data synchronisation

Automatically translated from English

As of 4D v18 R4, you can send notifications to your application users. Now with 4D v18 R6, you can start data synchronization with a push notification.

This could be useful, for example, in the case of delivery tracking applications. First, the delivery information is updated in the database, then a notification is sent to the customer. The notification contains a request to synchronize the data, so when the customer consults the record on their smartphone, the data is up to date.

4D for iOS: Improved UX (& more) with deep Linking

Automatically translated from English

4D v18 R5 includes a new great feature: Deep linking. That’s cool, but what the heck is it?

Here’s an example:

Have you ever gotten an email from Netflix asking if you want to continue watching a movie that you stopped halfway through? You click the link, but it doesn’t take you to the Netflix home page or launch the application on your phone. Instead, clicking the link opens the player, and resumes the movie exactly where you stopped. 

That’s deep linking! It allows users to open a specific view in their app just by clicking on a URL (significantly improving the user experience and increasing user retention and engagement).
