Virtual model support

This feature allows seamless integration with external data sources and custom data handling without being confined to our database structure. Virtual models unlock diverse use-cases and bolster adaptability for modern applications, elevating your project performance to the next level.

New triggers

• WebView onLoadStarted: This new trigger activates as soon as a WebView begins loading a webpage, giving you the ability to monitor and control the loading process, ultimately resulting in a more seamless user experience.
• WebView onLoadFinished: This trigger activates when a WebView has successfully completed loading a webpage. The integration of this trigger allows you to establish actions post-loading, such as displaying notifications or triggering other components within your application.
• WebView onPostMessageReceived: Enhancing your capability to receive messages from a WebView, this trigger becomes active when a post message is received from a webpage. This paves the way for more complex interactions and communication within your application, driving user engagement.
• SCREEN_ON_BACK_BUTTON_PRESSED: The addition of this trigger fosters more intuitive user navigation within your Android app. This trigger activates when the device’s back button is pressed while your app is on the screen, allowing you to customize the behavior, whether to close the current screen, open a different one, or execute any other desired action.

New blocks

• WebView PostMessage: This new block empowers you to send information from your application to an embedded webpage within a WebView component. Leveraging the WebView PostMessage block can enhance the interactivity and complexity of your application, allowing a more dynamic communication between your application and web content, thereby increasing user engagement.
• WebView GoBack: The introduction of this block is a direct response to facilitating better navigation within the WebView component. The WebView GoBack block, when triggered, directs the WebView component to navigate back to the previously loaded webpage. This facilitates a smoother and more intuitive browsing experience within your application, aligning with the familiar back-navigation found in most web browsers.
• System: Press Back Button: In a move to provide a more coherent user experience, we have added the System: Press Back Button block. This block allows your application to respond appropriately when the device's back button is pressed, enabling a more intuitive navigation system that aligns with standard Android behavior.
• Get Properties Block for Screens: This new tool enables you to retrieve the current state and properties of a screen within your application. Whether it's understanding the status of screen visibility, orientation, or other properties, this block will provide real-time information, fostering more dynamic app interactions and decision-making processes based on current screen conditions.
• Update Properties Block for Screens: This block grants you the ability to manipulate screen properties dynamically. Whether you want to modify the visibility, orientation, or other characteristics of a screen, this tool will allow you to adapt and optimize your application's functionality and user experience in response to user actions or other events.

Pinch to Zoom

An update to our Android platform: the inclusion of Pinch to Zoom functionality for images. This new feature enhances user interaction by enabling a closer look or wider view of images through simple finger movements.

Query Params support for the HTTP Request block

This addition allows you to append query parameters to your HTTP requests, facilitating more precise and controlled server interactions. By using Query Params, you can tailor your requests to retrieve specific data, significantly improving your app's functionality and user experience.

Format Number block across all platforms

This feature allows you to manipulate numeric data more efficiently, offering options to customize the display of numbers according to your needs. Whether it's controlling the number of decimal places, defining the decimal separator, or adjusting the thousands separator, the Format Number block enables more precise data presentation. 

Go 1.19 released

We have made a huge leap towards the efficiency of generated server applications. Since August, all server applications use the latest version of the Go programming language — Go 1.19. This brings a lot of optimizations and an overall performance boost of around 22%. And, as always, every user can simply click the "Publish" button and get new and improved applications in less than 20 seconds. No effort, everything is on us!

AWS Graviton3

Over the past few weeks, we moved most of our cloud servers to AWS instances with the latest generation Graviton3 CPUs. Graviton-powered instances offer the best price/performance ratio with approximately 35% cost savings compared to Intel-based instances. The good news is that not only are the internal AppMaster servers running on AWS Graviton3 CPUs, but any user application as well (which is deployed by default on the latest generation of instances).

Decimal on the way

We know that our platform has been missing decimals. Well, the wait is finally over. Now Sum, Subtract, Divide, Multiply, ToFloat, ToString blocks and many others of similar nature accept Decimal. Decimal can already be found in beta version and will be up on production in the first days of September. And Decimal has a different color, so you’ll definitely notice it.

Every second counts

What would happen if applications could build 30% faster? That would mean decreased frustration, increased productivity, and 30% more quality time.⁣ We have updated the application generators, transferred them to the ARM architecture and more powerful hardware. And now production apps build about 30% faster.

Business Process Scheduler for Web Apps

Now you can use our business process scheduler in web applications to launch business processes periodically. You can run the scheduler in three modes — Foreground & Background, Foreground Only, Background Only. This limits the task's operation depending on the application status. Now you can even run your BP in web background mode when a user switches tabs.

Referral program in workspaces

We have renewed our referral program and now you can find it in your workspace. Invite someone to try AppMaster for free by using your referral link!⁣⁣ After joining, your friends will receive a discount, and you will receive a reward for all their payments for up to 12 months! There is no limit to how much you can earn. 

Google and Apple Wallet for mobile apps

We have added support for Google Wallet and Apple Wallet for non-financial entities: event tickets, discount cards, boarding passes, and more. You can find the necessary blocks in our business processes. At the first stage, the functionality works only with the Generic Pass. But in the future we will add more entities.

Cryptography in mobile applications

We have added cryptography support to the BP editor of mobile applications and to the Android mobile app. And IOS is going to be ready in the near future. Now if the cryptography module is connected, you’ll have the cryptography blocks available in the business process editor in a separate group in the left pane.

Workspace

The concept of workspaces has been introduced to the platform, within which teams or companies can work. 

• Unlimited and unified: The workspace now has an unlimited number of projects and participants/users, unified billing, payment options and balance.
• Division of users: We have added division of users by roles at the workspace level, as well as at the project level. Now, if you work in a company or a team, you can put all your employees in a workspace and then assign projects to them. For ease of understanding, each workspace is your individual company or team.
• At the start, we have 3 types of workspaces: Business for companies, Freelance and Personal. Technically now they are no different, but in the future the functionality and perks will be different.

Billing

We have changed the billing model in the platform from a subscription for an account to a subscription for a project, completely eliminating the additional purchase of resources. Now 1 project - 1 subscription. 

Unlimited trials

Our new trial subscription policy: There can only be one 14-day trial per workspace, but if you delete a project with a trial plan, you can create a new project with a new trial for another 14 days.

Payments

We have canceled the mandatory presence of an attached payment method if there are enough funds on the balance to pay for the subscription. That is, when activating vouchers or receiving a balance in other ways, you will no longer need to add a bank card.

Credit actions

Earn credit points that can be used to pay for your plan. We are giving out points for posting about AppMaster on social media, writing reviews about our product, making tutorials and more. All the credit actions and their value can be found in your AppMaster Studio account.

Vue3 WebApps

The generated Vue3 WebApps are ready and published to production. This is an important step for the platform on the way to a sophisticated website designer. Visually, everything should remain the same, but we expect many issues to be fixed.

Mobile Apps

We made significant improvements in the work of AppMaster with mobile applications.

The Mobile Application Designer now supports push notification triggers and array fields.

We have added blocks and triggers to work with mobile device sensors.

We also added a scheduler to mobile apps to run business processes on schedule.

Enjoy the improved Mobile App Designer.

Foreground Service

The platform can now create foreground services for Android mobile applications to run the app's background tasks. Foreground services will allow you to display notifications while running background tasks on your apps.

New Video Player

We’ve created a custom video player for our users, which matches the design of the studio.

Grid Widget

We’ve added a grid widget to the web app designer so that you can display any data in a grid view.

LocalDB for Android

We have added a Local Database (LDB) for Android applications. Every Android application has a local SQLite relational database enabled by default. It supports all modern features for offline data storage on users' devices. A separate data model editor will be available for each mobile application in future platform versions for developers.

DeepLink support in Android apps

Now, developers can create DeepLinks, using which they can run applications with the necessary logic on users' devices. The DeepLink mechanism is available for the AppMaster Developer application and in published applications. The onDeepLink application-level trigger is used to process DeepLinks.

Updated UI designer for mobile apps

We've updated the layout of elements in the mobile app designer to make it easier to work with the element tree. We've also grouped menu items logically. The setting of triggers at the mobile application level has been moved to the application settings and aligned with the overall design.

Screen auto-generation in mobile applications

Screen auto-generation is now available on the platform. Developers can use auto-generation of screens, triggers, and field validation when creating mobile applications. It is also possible to create a template for a quick start of the project, which you can easily customize later.

Updated reactive changes to elements

The method of reactive modification of elements has been updated. It allows changing elements’ properties: color, size, and other parameters. These changes have greatly improved element rendering performance and almost doubled it in some scenarios.

• Request content type added: Multipart form data and XML;
• Response content type added: XML, Render file, and Download file.

New deploy options with Docker

We added a centralized repository to store applications packed in docker images. Now you can deploy your applications to any server with docker via a single command - docker pull from our repository. Subscription with access to binary files required for this option to work.

Updated Business Processes organization

We updated the list view of business processes and added folders for more convenient navigation.

Extended Support of Compiling a Project for Various Platforms and Operating Systems
