App updates

GoNative maintains our common app codebase to ensure compatibility with future iOS and Android updates so you never have to worry about maintaining code.

GoNative’s codebase is available on GitHub. The source code for your individual app can be downloaded at any time should you wish to extend the native code yourself, in which case you can merge our future updates back into your own app.

• GoNative iOS Source Repository
• GoNative Android Source Repository

GoNative App Builder

Use our online App Builder to configure and make adjustments to your app all from the browser. Each time you rebuild your app we automatically email you an appConfig.json file that contains all the configuration details of your app. You may maintain appConfig.json in your own versioning repository to track your changes and/or edit the file directly before uploading back to the online App Builder.

Most configuration parameters for your app can be configured at build-time via the App Builder and appConfig.json. You may also dynamically configure your app at run-time by accessing the GoNative JavaScript Bridge from the website being shown through your app.
