Fall is here, at least in Norway, and our latest release is out! This time, it is loaded with bugfixes and improvements. Here are the feature highlights.
Push notifications to everyone
Everyone loves notifications - they are all around us all day. Why not another one from an Appfarm App?
Push notifications have been around for a while, but only on Android. iOS has (finally) accepted the PWA push notifications. Read more about the Push Notifications and Request Permissions action nodes here.
A few noteworthy improvements
- Copy/Paste Conditional Styles, Transitions, Transforms and Motions
- Translations: Search is now enabled for this (potentially huge) table
- New settings available for Tooltip, allowing for line breaking!
- Container with Iterate data source: You may now change the iterating data source with another data source of the same type, with automatic replacing all usage on child levels.
- Have an object class with Random Identifier? You may now generate this identifier for all existing records as well. Read more here.
- Responsive Images: Enabling this serves up images in a size that matches the browserâs viewport, decreasing page load times and reducing bandwidth. Read more here.
âŚand one deprecated feature
Built-in support for logging to Google Analytics is now deprecated in Appfarm Create. The previous built-in support for Google Analytics Universal has already been deprecated by Google, as they are transitioning to GA4. We now offer a guide on how to integrate with GA4 instead. Read more here.
