Web and PWA Applications

Elipse Mobile Client can be used via browser by using an address in the format http://server_ip:port/, such as http://127.0.0.1:8080/. Users can also access an Application by using the name of a server computer on the network, such as http://localhost:8080/.

 

NOTE

The default TCP/IP port used by Elipse Mobile is 8080. To change this configuration, please check topic Server Settings.

 

Elipse Mobile Client also supports installation as a PWA (Progressive Web App) application. Installing a PWA application is performed directly on a browser, and to do so the server must be HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). The main features of a PWA application are the following:

A PWA application is 100% web, while a client can be hybrid. For example, the QR Code reader of a PWA application is implemented on the web, while the client implements the same functionality using native plugins of the operating system

A PWA application is automatically updated by the browser, because it is linked to a server

A PWA application does not depend on publishing an update to the store to be updated, just update the linked server

The login image, name, and icon of a PWA application can be customized on a mobile device and on desktop

 

The next topics contains examples of procedures to install a PWA application on Windows or on mobile devices.

 

NOTE

The installation procedures described next may vary depending on the operating system and browser version.
