Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
loccom Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 Hi Guys Is there any ideas when the mobile app will be back up and running, or am i missing something?? SeNioR- 1
loccom Posted November 5, 2021 Author Posted November 5, 2021 wish i knew this before asking members to start using it. Looking at how many communities jumped on board I dont understand why it was shelved Nebthtet and NorfolkBroadsNetwork 1 1
Nebthtet Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 We're thinking about a new community and researching solutions. All was fine and dandy and everyone liked what Invision offers until we learned that the mobile app was canceled. This is really bad as we need a good way to receive notifications on mobile and web push ones don't cut it as most people block that stuff anyway. Well, back to the drawing board 😞
Joey_M Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 @Jon Erickson: Your window of oppatunity has opened even more with this. From time to time, I still get asked about the webview apps and notifications. It's worth throwing your crown into the area as a solution I think. 👍 Jon Erickson and GazzaGarratt 2
Max Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Oh damn I didn't know this. Was about to get rid of Tapatalk. I thought IPB had an app that all sites could use? What happened?
Randy Calvert Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 The experiment did not end up working out and was indefinitely shelved. It may be revisited later but it’s references were actually removed in 4.6.11 so I would not realistically expect a true stand alone native app.
HappyNewUser Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Why? We need mobile app, the world needs mobike app 😞

We need mobile app, the world needs mobike app 😞 It’s nearly impossible to properly distribute native mobile apps due to needing to be signed and the release/management process. Instead IPS is using Progressive Web Apps which can provide the same sort of functionality. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_application If that is not enough and you want a true native app, it would be best to explore building one leveraging the API.
