I am developing an ionic-4 app, Ionic provides cross platform apps but I am a bit confused and my confusion is can I use a single ionic-4 application for mobiles(e.g. Android and IOS) and desktops browsers(Chrome, firefox etc.) as website. Is it possible by using ionic version 4.
Yes, Ionic 4 provides a single code for the execution of multiple platforms.
Ionic Doc
here is help for you. You can check everything.
Yes, you can use Ionic for Android, IOS and Browser. Once the coding is done, you can add any platform to make its build. For example, if you add Android platform then you can take an Android build(APK).Before that you need to setup an environment for that . For example, you need Android studio for taking Android build and Xcode for taking IOS build. It's all depends on the platform that you use.
Please go through Ionic documentation and Youtube tutorials to get a correct picture.
Thank you

I am trying to start a react native project using the React Native CLI method (https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup). My first question is, if I have a mac and my friend has a windows computer can we both work on the same app? Also, how do I configure one single code base for both ios and android? Do I just follow the installation instructions for both in a single project? Thanks!
Yes, you can work separately on windows and mac for the same app and you don't have to configure any kind of codebase as react native is hybrid app development technology, you just have to write a single code for both the android and ios platforms.
To install react native CLI just follow the official document on your specific platforms because both of them have a slight difference in the installation process, after successful installation, I would suggest you to use some kind of VCS(Version controlling system) like git or svn.
I am also working in the same process as you have described I am developing in windows and my friend is working on the mac.
feel free to contact me I will help you if you have any kind of queries
I have an app made with React Native that is already working on for Android.
I'm working on Debian 10.
For Android I build my app-release.aab file with this command:
bash android/gradlew --project-dir android --project-prop MYAPP_UPLOAD_STORE_FILE=my-key.keystore --project-prop MYAPP_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIAS=my-key --project-prop MYAPP_UPLOAD_STORE_PASSWORD=mypassword --project-prop MYAPP_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD=mypassword clean bundleRelease
I've been creating this bundle for like a year with no problems, but now I have a task that is "now we want the iOS version"
What do I need to create this iOS version? I'm pretty lost, I have never created nothing for iOS, I just have this React Native app that works ok on Android.
I've been reading some mediums, youtube videos, and some questions here in Stackoverflow but they talk about that it's possible to create the app for both Android and iOS but I can't find a source of clear information about what I need for.
Do I need a Mac?
How should I create the bundle for iOS?
First, if you want to publish to the iOS app store, you need to buy a paid Apple Developer Program, regardless if you have a Mac or not.
Okay, if you have a Mac there is a good amount of documentation: https://reactnative.dev/docs/next/publishing-to-app-store and more. The below is if you do not have a Mac, or do not want to develop on it.
No Mac
You cannot build macOS apps locally without a Mac.
That being said, you could look at CI/CD, for example, Github Actions or Travis CI, as running macOS on them is possible. If you are already pushing your code to Github, I recommend Github Actions. If you do not want to use CI/CD, you can use Expo. With Expo, you can build your app on their servers, and all you need is a paid Apple Developer Program (no Mac).
With vanilla react-native for local development/builds you will need a Mac as Xcode (free) is required for iOS builds. It's propriety software to macOS. You will also need an Apple Developer account to setup development/distribution certificates for deployments.
You can then use Xcode and the iOS certificates/provisions to generate a bundle for iOS.
Is it possible guys? As I know I can use the React Native eusing Windows Laptop but I can't build or produce a mobile ios app using Windows laptop?
Also what are the conflicts when developing android app and iOS app using Reactive Native
You can develop your iOS and Android app completely on windows, but it is correct, that you need a Mac to build and deploy it for iOS app. You could use a service like https://www.macstadium.com/ for this step. They offer access to macs on a monthly basis.
I'm working with RN since 2015 and I only found a few "conflicts":
1.) You have to double check styling between iOS and Android, since a few properties behave little different (like overview). But the RN team is constantly working on this and it gets better and better.
2.) If you need access to native device functions like InApp purchase API, you have to find Libraries, which work on iOS and Android.
All in all RN is a very good framework for writing cross platform apps. You should give it a try :-)
I want to test my IOS,Android and hybrid apps on various virtual devices. Please suggest me a good tool that can perform these functions.
We currently use Genymotion for testing with Android and XCode's simulator for iOS. These will allow you test a wide range of iOS/Android devices.
If you are looking for one tool to test both iOS and Android I believe Visual Studio's Xamarin supports both, there is also a browser based solution with appetize.io. I haven't used either of those so can't comment on if they are any good.
You can make use of chrome developer toolbar it has most of the device options like device horizontal/Vertical, Zoom
You get the different versions along with the different screen sizes in the simulator which you are working.
Eg: IOS(xcode) when you build it you get which version to build when running the application. Same for Android and hybrid apps
I have been working on Blackberry 10 Cascades Native SDK. I tried to configure the SDK in Titanium Studio. Though the Titanium Dashboard indicates a green checker and states the SDK installed and configured, when i try to create a new project, the Blackberry SDK check option is still disabled. (Titanium is updated to the latest revisions. Blackberry 10 Native works fine. Simulator is good). Could somebody help?
From Appcelerator site :
To get started developing your app, you can gain access to the public
Titanium Mobile BlackBerry GitHub Repository. Installing the
BlackBerry 10 development tools are straightforward, and instruction
can be found at README. Read the Terms and Conditions for this offer.
Hope this help you..
