Appilix v2, Popup Navigation Bar & Google Sign-In Bridge

A major new version of Appilix has been released alongside two new feature additions.

Jun, 2026

This update introduces Appilix v2 with a completely refreshed brand and dashboard experience, a new floating navigation bar for popup windows, and a JavaScript Bridge for triggering native Google Sign-In directly from your website.

Added
  • Popup windows now feature a floating pill-shaped navigation bar at the bottom — giving users quick access to back, close, and forward controls right where they need them.
  • Google In-App Purchase — sell digital products in your Android app by triggering Google Play Billing directly from your website JavaScript, with the purchase result returned back to your website.

  • Google Sign-In JS Bridge — trigger native Google authentication directly from your website JavaScript and receive the signed-in user's profile and auth token back, without any redirect or PKCE flow.

Performance & Architecture Upgrade

App building machines upgraded and a fresh new Appilix Dashboard development has begun.

Jan, 2026

This update focuses on improving app build performance and lays the groundwork for the next generation of Appilix with a brand-new dashboard, expected by end of May 2026.

Improved
  • App builder machines upgraded with incremental build technology for faster and smoother app building.
  • New Appilix Dashboard development started — will include up-to-date documentation, tutorials, and a bunch of new features and modules.

Dark & Light Mode Color Controls

New improvements in existing features to offer finer control over app appearance.

Sep, 2025

This update brings improved color customization for apps, allowing different color schemes based on the device's active color mode.

Improved
  • All color field settings now support Dark & Light mode specific values to dynamically change native UI appearance based on the device color scheme.

Major App Architecture Overhaul

Almost 99% of the app architecture has been rebuilt for greater efficiency, customizability, and future extensibility.

Aug, 2025

This is a sweeping architectural update. The core of how apps are built and how settings are managed has been redesigned from the ground up, opening new possibilities for future Appilix development.

Improved
  • Splash screen loading mechanism redesigned — the website now begins loading behind the splash screen, making app launch feel significantly faster.
  • Appilix shortcodes have been migrated to a unified postMessage architecture. All previous shortcodes — including appilix-navigation://, appilix-share://, and appilix-launch:// — now use a standardized JavaScript postMessage call. These can be used directly from your webpage or in native navigation settings using a javascript: prefix.
  • Every app setting is now changeable at runtime via postMessage — no dashboard rebuild required. Native UI elements such as the App Bar and Bottom Navigation Bar background colors can be updated dynamically from your webpage. Contact Appilix support for specific setting keys and codes.
  • Prebuilt JavaScript functions for In-App Purchase, AppsFlyer Log Event, and Facebook Meta Log Event have been updated to match the new unified architecture. Please check the specific module page in your Appilix Dashboard to see the updated codes.

Loader & iOS Code Signing Improvements

New improvements in existing features to provide additional controls.

Jun, 2025

This update brings more control over the app loading experience and significantly simplifies iOS app code signing.

Improved
  • Circle loader can now be hidden for specific URLs, domains, or partial URL patterns to prevent unnecessary loading indicators on certain pages.
  • iOS App Code Signing is now more streamlined — complete the process without manually creating Certificates, Identifiers, or Provisioning Profiles in the Apple Developer Portal.

QR Scanner & Secure App Switcher

New integration modules released for enhanced user security and convenience.

May, 2025

This update introduces two new integration modules to expand the native capabilities of your app.

Added
  • QR Scanner module — lets users instantly scan QR codes to access links, text, or other info using the device camera.
  • Secure App Switcher module — protects app content when viewed in the App Switcher by replacing the screen with a custom image.

Splash Screen, Audio & Loader Enhancements

New improvements made in existing features for better visual and audio customization.

  • AppsFlyer module — connects your app to AppsFlyer, a leading mobile marketing analytics and attribution platform.
