mobile app

[chrismccoy]

has anyone here developed anything for mobile, like a mobile wrapper or an app that communicates and posts to the forum via the app? ios

For android theres this app: https://github.com/ReyKoxha/nodebb-webview

And for ios i know that some people were trying little things using swift, but couldn't find any repo with the actual development.

@jarey

Did anyone try with that?

[sharonyue]

Im still wondering if any had tried that mobile APP. I see a booming and fast transfer of users from internet to mobile APP.

We need also mobile app for Android. But don't know how this works. Is it hard to make an app for a NodeBB site?

Here you have a step-by-step tutorial https://github.com/ReyKoxha/nodebb-webview/wiki
I will test it today and I give you know did it works

@gremek thanks

@gremek
Thank you. I found the many users of my site are using Android to log in.

@gremek
How is it going, bro?

[Gremek]

@sharonyue Hey.
Sorry for late reply but i just forgot about that.

Android App from github repo is just web-view wrapper, but works just fine after compiling.
This is the same app of NodeBB Community from Google PlayStore, so you can test it without compiling.

@Gremek I installed the NodeBB app from Google Play and I have noticed, that the notifications about the new reply etc. do not pop up on my mobile ... I need to manually open the app and check for news.

Did you experience similar behavior?

@squre You need to install the SignalOne plugin or something like that I think.

@Tom_Rade Thank you for the reply, however NodeBB app from Google Play is used to view this NodeBB instance (https://community.nodebb.org). On my mobile I do not receive any notification :(.
