Native Mobile

Introduction

Starting October 2025, Mendix 8 will no longer be supported for running native mobile applications. Please upgrade to the most recent MTS or LTS version of Mendix. Outdated apps may stop functioning as expected on newer OS versions. For more information, please see this blog post.

As of Mendix 8, it is possible to build fully native mobile apps. Native mobile apps differ from hybrid apps in that they do not render inside a web view. Instead, they use native UI elements. This enables fast performance, smooth animations, swipe gestures, and improved access to all native device capabilities.
