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. |
