Mendix Mobile App Release Notes

Last modified: September 10, 2024

Android 4.7.1 / iOS 4.7.1

Release date: March 26, 2018

Fixes

  • We fixed an issue where hybrid apps were stuck in either offline or online mode.

Limitations

  • The Mendix feedback widget does not always load properly on iOS.
  • Mendix hybrid apps (loaded using, for example, the QR scanner or the manual app loading screen) are not able to use the barcode scanning widget. Using the barcode scanning functionality from within an app-specific hybrid app (meaning, one built using the mobile app flow from the Mendix Developer Portal) should not pose any problems.

Android 4.7.0 / iOS 4.7.0

Release date: March 23, 2018

New Functionality

  • We added support for opening offline-capable hybrid apps. To open an offline-capable app through the QR scanner, enable the offline toggle in the Modeler’s View App dialog. To open an offline-capable app by entering a URL manually, enable the offline toggle within the app.

Improvements

  • Hybrid apps now use the newly styled loading screen, login screen, and error screen.

Fixes

  • Deep links (for example, links to your Mendix app) opened using the Mendix Mobile app are now properly sanitized.

Limitations

  • The Mendix feedback widget does not always load properly on iOS.

iOS 4.4.1

Release date: October 2, 2017

Bug Fixes

  • We fixed support for iOS 11: loading a Mendix hybrid app (for example, by using the QR scanner or from the Apps page) caused the Mendix Mobile app to crash. This issue has been resolved.
