AppClient Apperyio Database

The AppClient Apperyio Database plugin can store the data response received from the Appery.io Database making it possible to load it from cash if the app goes offline.
Please check out this document to learn how to use it in an app.

Autoupdate

Add the Autoupdate plugin to the app if you want to allow your end users to manually control the processes of managing available app updates.
On the app start, the plugin automatically checks if there is a new update and allows the end user to make decisions on whether to download it from the server and then install it on their device or postpone this action.

This approach is different from the default Automatic app update feature as it provides app users with more flexibility in applying updates to their clients (checking app updates, downloading from the server, and installing them on the device).

Working with Autoupdate Plugin: Example

1. First, add the plugin to the app (click CREATE NEW > From plugin) and select it (you can also use filtering) on the list:

2. Under Project > Routing, set the AutoupdateStatusScreen as the default route:

3. Under Project > App settings > Android binary/iOS binary and disable the Auto-download update and Auto-install update options. This way, you can make sure the client will not receive the updates unless this action is authorized by the end user:

🚧

Important!

Make sure the Hot Code Push Plugin is enabled under App settings > Cordova plugins > Core Cordova plugins tab:

4. Now, you can proceed with exporting your app for Android or iOS with further installation on a device:

5. After the app is built, install and run it on the device.
   The Info window appears on the app start informing that there are no app updates on the server:

6. Now, let's go back to the App Builder and make some changes to the app. When ready, save the app, go to EXPORT > Auto update, and confirm you want to publish the app update:

7. When ready, you will get notified and can check the app on the device.
   On the app start, the plug-in performs checks if there are updates on the server and offers to install them, if any.
   To accept, click INSTALL UPDATE and wait until it is installed. When ready, the information on the current client and server versions will be shown. The update is successfully installed and you can see that the update version corresponds with the server version:

reCAPTCHA

Developing your web app and need to add a trusted service to protect your website from spam and abuse?

Then consider adding our reCAPTCHA plugin to your project. Owned by Google, this service is a CAPTCHA system that allows website hosts to differentiate between human and automated access to websites.

Google reCAPTCHA is offered in two versions – version 2 and version 3 – each catering to specific security needs. Version 2 typically involves interactive challenges, such as image selection tasks, while version 3 operates in the background, assessing user behavior to assign a risk score.

To make it as simple as possible, Appery.io offers two different plugins so that you can choose between version 2 and version 3, depending on your preferences. Two sample pages currently utilize both versions and you are free to select either or integrate both.

You can check out this Appery.io YouTube How-To Video video to learn how to add the needed version to your web application:
