PWA to Native Xcode App
If you want an app on the Apple AppStore we have the solution for you. Wizard’s Toolkit builds responsive design web pages. That makes a page look good on any sized device. A "Progressive Web App" (or PWA) really is not good enough. Users want a true "App" from the AppStore so we have constructed advanced JavaScript libraries to give your WTK website the ability to seamlessly become a true App.
For most companies when they want both a website and a mobile app, they need to hire two different development teams. One with the expertise to handle the website and a separate team to handle the iPhone development. With Wizard’s Toolkit, your website developers are making pages which will work perfectly for a mobile app without even trying. When you are ready to make the mobile app they may want to add a little code so pages look a little better on a small phone, but those modifications are easy and relatively quick.
The HTML and CSS already looks good on phones but we made customizations to make it look even better. The Wizard’s Toolkit CSS enhancements make your pages look like a native app. Margins around containers and modal windows are reduced to give phones maximum width possible. Special attention was given to the login page, account registration, forgot password and feature request pages.
Even more important than the UI, our JavaScript library has functions which call Xcode ReactNative JS to provide a seamless interaction between your website and the mobile app. This gives you full access to the native features like camera and photo album, dialing, and microphone access. The WTK JavaScript recognizes whether it is called via iOS mobile app or on a web browser. The developer does not need to make any changes to their code but our JavaScript will process regular web access one way and iOS requests differently so the user has a native-app experience. We have done all the quality assurance testing and hours of perfecting so you do not have to.
When you purchase the Wizard’s Toolkit subscription you receive access to our GIT repository with our Xcode project. Download and modify for your own needs. Generally all you will need to do is the following:
If you do not have staff comfortable with Xcode, or would just like it done as quickly as possible, we have an Xcode expert who will do the above steps for you for a flat fee of $250. They will send you a zip file with your final Xcode source code and an yourProject.xarchive file so you can upload it to TestFlight or the AppStore when you are ready.
See our Demo for how it looks on the web. Then download our App from the AppStore to see how it looks and responds as a native App.
One of the greatest advantages of a PWA design is ease of upgrades. The App is pointing to your website. When you deploying to your website the App automatically accesses the new pages. No need for users to download a new "App" from the AppStore.
Any alteration to your database, HTML, or PHP is instantaneously accessible to all users, maintaining a consistent experience. If there is a mandatory change to a JavaScript or CSS file, you have the ability to require the user to "upgrade" their App. The Toolkit keeps track of user versions, allowing you to prompt upgrades effortlessly through your administration website by updating the version number. This gives the user a link which takes them out of the SPA so they receive the updated JS and CSS files and can re-login.
Elevate your digital presence with a toolkit that ensures both immediate impact and future adaptability.
