Are there any custom APIs for iBeacon access from mobile web applications? Probably it could be a mobile safari extension.
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, no.
You could write a native iOS app that looks for iBeacons in the background and launches a specific web app URL on mobile Safari. You could even pass ranged beacon info in query parameters.
But you would still need a native app installed on the phone to do this. And once the Safari page is launched, getting further updates is impossible, unless you use a complex web service proxy to the native app.

I understand at the current moment, react-konva is not supported in React Native environment; however, wondering if vue-konva supports mobile app?
Or if you can suggest me a way to migrate konva canvas content to an android app?
Appreciate your response.
Konva, react-konva and vue-konva are designed to work on the web environment. The "web enviroment" usually means just web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
There are platforms to build mobile apps with web technologies. Probably the most popular one is PhoneGap (or Cardova).
To use Konva in the mobile app you have to use such a platform and make a full app with web technologies or just open a web-view (built-in browser) for Konva part.
Does React Native support Web and Desktop targets?
I would like to build the main version of app as mobile.
Would it be possible to compile the same mobile app, maybe with minor modifications for Web and Desktop?
The user experience for the secondary use cases - Web and Desktop doesn't matter much, I need just the app more or less in a working state and it will be enough. Does React Native allows that?
For Web, you can use react-native-web
I am building a language translation flashcard web app. I will have a PWA version on the website and then a native app in the Play Store and Windows Store.. maybe even Apple Store eventually. First time looking to build a native app or pseudo native app.
The app currently uses the Web Speech API and Voice Recognition API in HTML5. These API's have support on Chrome and Android Web Browser. It appears they are in progress for Firefox and some other browsers.
Since the best functionality of the app is built upon these browser based API's..
I am wondering if I choose to use Vue Native instead of Cordova/Phonegap, how is it possible to access these HTML5 APIs natively or is there a native solution?
I have a requirement to open the native version of the hybrid app (.ipa/.apk/.appx) when the hybrid app is requested in a device browser.
I am able to detect the environment using WL.Client.getEnvironment(); method, if it is found to be Android/iPad, I want to launch the respective .apk/.ipa file in the device. Any help is appreciated.
Re-reading this question and the comments several times... I still do not understand the actual scenario... it'd be best to rephrase it.
Scenario: How to open an app from the web browser:
If you have added the following environments to your Worklight application:
Mobile Web
Android
iPhone
And when visiting the Mobile Web version of your app, you want to display a message like "For the full experience, open the full application by clicking here".
Then:
It is implied that the user already has the application installed.
If it is not installed, you need to take care of that somehow
The way to handle this scenario is to use URI schemas:
For Android: How to implement my very own URI scheme on Android
This means that after adding the custom URI schema to AndroidManifest.xml, you could then detect the device OS the Mobile Web app is currently running on and display a custom link: myapp://<the URI schema you've defined>. Tapping it will open the app installed on the device.
For iOS, in a similar fashion: https://coderwall.com/p/mtjaeq
Also see: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes
Alternate solution: If you are not sure if the app will be installed or not, then instead of using URI schemas you can always point to either Google Play or Apple App Store, to the app page; the user will then have either a "Open" or "Install" link.
Scenario: How to open an app from my own app
If you have a Worklight Hybrid application (Mobile Web is not a Hybrid application), and you want to open another application from within it, you can:
Use the same approach of URI schemas, or
Use Cordova plug-ins
I have created this Worklight 6.1.0 project to demonstrate:
Android - How to open, for example, the Android Settings app from your Worklight Hybrid app
iOS - How to check if Waze is installed and open it, and if it is not installed then to open Apple Maps instead.
See instructions.txt in the apps\test folder.
Are you asking that if the user via their device browser hits the webapp version of your app on the internet, the website will ask the user to fire up the native app on their device? kind of like what ebay does?
if that is what you want check out these pages

Does Domino Designer could develop App on IOS or Android? I want to deveop approval workflow with Lotus Domino Designer, and could be installed on iPhone or Android mobilephone. I don't know whether could realize??
If your question is "can I write (on my own) a (native) mobile application and connect to Domino" then the response is yes you will probably use ajax and not Xpages.
If your question is "can I open on my mobile device a Xpage that I wrote on Domino" then the response is yes, but strictly it won't be a mobile app but a mobile web site.
If your question is "can I use my HTML5 web site on Domino to make an hybride application" (many tools can help for this like ionic or other frameset) then the response is yes.
If your question is "is it simple, can I build without special knowledge of the mobile Andoid IOS world an application base on my knowledge of Xpages" the response is really no!
