Greg Pierce President, Agile Tortoise @agiletortoise http://agiletortoise.com Indie app development, web consulting agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 What do I do? Drafts Terminology Phraseology agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 What am I talking about? Custom URLs schemes as tool for inter-app communication on iOS. - Limited options in the sandbox. - Consume URLs in other apps. - Provide services with URLs. agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Inter-app whaaa? Integrating with other apps can make your app... - More useful. - Offers great opportunities for cross-promotion. agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Overview Part 1 - What? - Local and Lightweight Part 2 - Why? - Use Cases Part 3 - How? - Implementation Part 4 - X-Callback-URL Q & A agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Part 1 - What? Local and Lightweight agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Anatomy of a URL - URL = Uniform Resource Locator scheme://domain:port/path? query_string#fragment_id - “scheme” or “protocol” is registered with OS. - Safari registers “http” - Phone.app registers “tel” - Mail.app registers “mailto” agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Custom URLs - iOS provides means to register “Custom URL schemes” for apps. - Registering says you know what to do with “scheme:” URLs. - Simple entries in app’s Info.plist. - One app can register many custom URL schemes. agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 URLs - Lightweight Messaging between apps. - No OAuth, Web Services, complex setup. - Local - No network require for locally installed apps. - Few options! agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Custom URL structure - Beyond the scheme and the colon, custom URL can look like anything. scheme:* - Not tied to HTTP (host:port/path) structure, but... - reuse tools/code that already exist to parse. - easier to document/consume. - Must follow escaping/encoding guidelines - Can support 80k characters at least. agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Using URLs - URLs can be triggered like any links - Link embedded on a webpage - Programmatically – two important methods: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:(NSURL *)url]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:(NSURL *)url]; agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 What happens? When a custom URL is opened... - Source app is backgrounded. - Target app is launched (or foregrounded) - Target AppDelegate is notified with a URL, using... - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Part 2 - Why? Use cases agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Testing if app is installed If you register a unique URL scheme, you give other apps a way to test if your app is installed. This includes your own apps...great for cross- promoting apps, without annoying people who have already downloaded. agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Launching Without any additional work, registering a URL scheme gives apps a way to launch your app. See Launch Center Pro from App Cubby... agiletortoise.com Tuesday, September 11, 12 Launching with Context Have the user arrive at a specific place in your app...

  • Firefox Android Reader Mode
    Firefox android reader mode Continue Image: Firefox Development Firefox Preview, Firefox's restored Android app, is moving smoothly together, and this week one of its best features received a substantial update. Mozilla added browser extension support to Firefox Preview back in February, but you can only install one addition: uBlock Origin. Mozilla's latest test builds for Firefox Preview have added five more add- ons to the mobile browser that can be installed from the app settings, and they're all stunning: Screenshot: Brendan HesseDark Reader - automatically includes a dark mode for (most) websites, even if the page usually doesn't have one. HTTPS Everywhere - Adds HTTPS encryption to websites whenever possible. NoScript - Warns you about potentially dangerous web-page scripts and lets you decide whether they will be running or not. Privacy Badger - Blocks internet trackers hidden on the sites you visit. Image Search - Allows you to select and reverse search for images of any images you find while viewing. These new add-ons are available in the latest version of the developer's Firefox Preview. You can try them early by downloading Nightly Build from Google Play. While Night builds are designed for developers and often suffer from stability issues, downloading it so won't re-write any other version of Firefox Preview you've installed. If something doesn't work, you can just delete the browser and swap back for the more stable version of Firefox Preview you used before. New additions should be available in other versions of the app soon anyway. How to install add-onsInstall Firefox Preview Night Assembly from Google Play Store.

    Joel Hietala Natiivisovellusten ja progressiivisten web-sovellusten erot ja yhtäläisyydet sovellustuotannon ja käyttäjän näkökulmista Tietotekniikan kandidaatintutkielma 14. toukokuuta 2021 Jyväskylän yliopisto Informaatioteknologian tiedekunta Tekijä: Joel Hietala Yhteystiedot: [email protected] Ohjaaja: Tuomo Rossi Työn nimi: Natiivisovellusten ja progressiivisten web-sovellusten erot ja yhtäläisyydet so- vellustuotannon ja käyttäjän näkökulmista Title in English: The differences and similarities between native apps and progressive web apps in software development and user experience Työ: Kandidaatintutkielma Sivumäärä: 28+0 Tiivistelmä: Tutkielmassa vertaillaan natiivisovelluksia ja progressiivisia web-sovelluksia sovellustuotannon ja käyttäjän näkökulmista iOS-mobiililaitteilla. Kirjallisuuskatsauksen ta- voitteena on käsitellä erilaisia syitä valita natiivisovelluksen ja web-sovelluksen väliltä so- velluksen suunnitteluvaiheessa. Tutkimuksen pohjalta voidaan todeta, että natiivisovelluk- set ovat pääsääntöisesti tehokkaampia ja monipuolisempia, kun taas progressiiviset web- sovellukset ovat joustavampia ja kustannustehokkaampia. Avainsanat: natiivisovellus, progressiivinen web-sovellus, PWA, sovelluskehitys, käyttöko- kemus Abstract: The thesis examines native applications and progressive web applications on the iOS mobile platform from both the developers’ and the users’ points of view. The literature review aims to explore the various reasons for a developer to decide on one of the aforemen- tioned ways to develop an app.

  • The Symbiotic Relationship Between App Developers and Platforms: a Ten-Year Retrospective Preface
    The Symbiotic Relationship Between App Developers and Platforms: A Ten-Year Retrospective Preface It is often easy to forget the journey once we arrive at the destination. We forget the bumps in the road and often overlook factors that made the trip possible. The app economy’s trajectory is no different. In nearly a decade of existence, the app ecosystem has grown exponentially alongside the rise of the smartphone. Valued at $950 billion,i the app economy is driven by app developers and innovators who depend on platforms like Apple’s App Store to reach consumers around the globe. In 2017 alone, 3.4 billion people spent 1.6 trillion hours using apps across a variety of platforms,ii and the reach of software applications continues to grow. This paper offers a look at the journey and the symbiotic relationship between app developers and platforms that drive the app economy. I. Introduction Much has changed for consumers and developers since the early days of software applications. In the early 1990s, consumers were tasked with the challenge of locating and then traveling to a brick-and-mortar store that happened to sell software. Once internet connectivity became a standard feature in most private residences, consumers began to download applications from the comfort of their homes without having to step foot in a physical store. Still, the golden age of PC software pales in comparison to the size and scale of the mobile app revolution during which software developers evolved into app developers. Today, software titles in Apple’s App Store for iOS and Mac exceed 1.5 million.iii Before the ubiquity of mobile platforms, the software ecosystem ran on personal computers.
