Hey Everyone!
We're excited to share more about the new Draftbit Preview app today. While we've had an alpha version in the works, we're now moving this app into open beta for use by anyone.
You can get the app from the app stores using the links below:
- Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/draftbit-preview/id1605807667
- Google Play Console: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.draftbit.livepreview
You can use this Draftbit Preview app as a replacement for the Expo Go app -- use this app to preview your Draftbit apps while you build on your local device.
Why would you want to do this? For one main reason: to access a larger set of libraries and features. First, using this app allows you to test and preview Deep Linking in your app. Second, when using this app, you can add the following libraries to your app and test/preview your progress while you build:
- Amplitude
- Apple Auth
- Expo Authentication
- Expo Sharing
- Expo Sensors
- Expo Task Manager
- Lottie
- Stripe
- Segment
- Sentry
- Sqlite
- Stream Chat
- Shopify Flashlist
- Revenuecat (via Expo Purchases)
- Victory Charts
To utilize these libraries in your app, you'll still need to add them as custom packages. And package versions definitely matter, so we've our docs to include recommended package versions. You can check it out here.
And once you've added the packages, you'll still need to do the work to implement the features and functionality you need, likely via custom code or custom functions, for now. We hope to bring these types of functionality into Draftbit in the future -- but for now they are available via custom code. And like everything custom code, the nuances of your particular implementation may not be something we can support.
This new app is available in the app stores -- but we consider this an Open Beta! If you have issues using this app, please let us know. If you would like additional libraries or SDKs to be considered for inclusion, we'd love to hear what you're looking for (both the library and the use case, please).
Cheers!
CourseCast features a dark theme that's a perfect starting place for a video platform.
Or, you could just use it to get a better understanding of how UIs are built in Draftbit.
We'll have Example Screens available for each of the screens in this new app coming soon.
You can check it out, along with our other Starter Apps, from the Dashboard.
