What is In App Bridge?​

while you develop apps for both android and ios platform, you will face a stage that you need to use webview for faster development. you can try developing web app for embedding into native app's webview without any tools. but you will relise that that work is not pleasant. iOS/Android will require different interface for communicating to your web app.

Also when you need platform specific logic on your webapp, you will find it annoying.

Inappbridge provides interface between web/android and web/iOS

  • Fully reusable web
  • Faster webview integration
  • Web stays as web. supports both for plain browser & app's page as hybrid
