Can we use Code Studio Widgets in the Mobile App?

Hello there,

Question as above, is it possible to run custom widgets in the mobile app? The documentation doesn’t rule this out however we can’t get it going.

Some background: We’re currently doing exploratory work with the mobile app and we’re looking into the feasibility of using custom widgets to add a little functionality that the lowcode doesn’t offer. Thus far we’ve no luck getting our simple test code to function, having tried both vue and static blueprints.

When testing on an iOS device we can see in detective that main.js code runs, and script placed within main.htm runs, however frontend.js code does not seem to run and with no access to a frontend console for the app we can’t see what is going on there (if anything). We’ve only tested the app on iOS thus far. The code runs fine in the web browser.

Clearly most widget and presenter use cases are a no go without being able to pass data to and from the backend. Are we missing something or is this just not possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

They should be running as far as I remember.

You can use an Andriod device connected to a PC to view the browser console for any issues.
For iOS you would need a mac and could do the same with safari browser.

I would probably start from there.

Thanks Gediminas,

We’re using the Create Mobile App so the browser consoles are no use unfortunately.

We need to use the mobile app rather than the browser as it can cache record data for the user to interact with when they’re out of signal. We’d expect custom widgets not to work in those instances, however we’d also like our users to have full functionality through the app whilst they’re connected to the web.
