History

Appery.io is a product of Exadel and was launched in 2012 under the name Tiggzi. [7] [8]

In 2013, at the TechCrunch Disrupt event in New York City, the platform formally relaunched as Appery.io. [9] After the relaunch, Appery.io continued focusing on enterprise and business apps and began to support Salesforce and other similar enterprise systems. [10] In 2013, Appery.io partnered with Heroku (a Salesforce.com subsidiary) to allow developers to use Heroku’s approach to provision their apps directly in the cloud. [11] The integrated Appery.io features were meant to ease rapid development within Salesforce's back end and allowed customers with less extensive technical backgrounds to build mobile apps. [12] [13]

In 2014, Appery.io upgraded the platform and introduced new features: a new visual builder UI, an event-oriented mapping editor, and updates to the REST service editor. [14]

Over the course of 2015:

In 2021, Appery.io added Ionic 5 support to the platform, [23] which supports JavaScript frameworks (Angular, React, and Vue.js). The platform started to support the development of Progressive Web Applications (PWA). [24]

In 2021, Appery.io won the 2021 Devies Award in the "Best Innovation in Mobile Development" category. The award is given annually as a part of the DeveloperWeek trade show. [25]

Platform

The platform comprises an app builder, back-end services, API Express, and plug-ins. The app builder provides cross-platform development with a common API running across iOS and Android. [26] UX is built with Ionic, jQuery Mobile and HTML5 components by using drag-and-drop functionality. [19] The Appery.io back-end services provide hosting, a MongoDB NoSQL database, push notifications, JavaScript server code, and a secure proxy. [27] API Express helps sync Appery.io apps with back-end systems. The plug-ins connect the app to prepackaged REST API services, pages, and data binding. [28]

Apache Cordova Free software framework for multiplatform hybrid mobile apps

Apache Cordova is a mobile application development framework created by Nitobi. Adobe Systems purchased Nitobi in 2011, rebranded it as PhoneGap, and later released an open-source version of the software called Apache Cordova. Apache Cordova enables software programmers to build hybrid web applications for mobile devices using CSS3, HTML5, and JavaScript, instead of relying on platform-specific APIs like those in Android, iOS, or Windows Phone. It enables wrapping up of CSS, HTML, and JavaScript code depending upon the platform of the device. It extends the features of HTML and JavaScript to work with the device. The resulting applications are hybrid, meaning that they are neither truly native mobile application nor purely Web-based. They are not native because all layout rendering is done via Web views instead of the platform's native UI framework. They are not Web apps because they are packaged as apps for distribution and have access to native device APIs. Mixing native and hybrid code snippets has been possible since version 1.9.

RhoMobile Suite

RhoMobile Suite, based on the Rhodes open source framework, is a set of development tools for creating data-centric, cross-platform, native mobile consumer and enterprise applications.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">No-code development platform</span> Software development services

No-code development platforms (NCDPs) allow programmers and non-programmers to create application software through graphical user interfaces and configuration instead of traditional computer programming. No-code development platforms are closely related to low-code development platforms as both are designed to expedite the application development process. However, unlike low-code, no-code development platforms require no code writing at all, generally offering prebuilt templates that businesses can build apps with. These platforms have both increased in popularity as companies deal with the parallel trends of an increasingly mobile workforce and a limited supply of competent software developers.
