How to create an IOS/Android app using php code created by PHPRunner?

PHPRunner is for building web apps, not native mobile apps. However, by using Bootstrap or mobile template you can use the PHPRunner generated web app on a hand held device [Smartphone].

Phprunner is a Web apps generator/ide. The best thing about web app is flexibility. Once installed on web server, than it can be accessed from any devices such as ios, android, windows or linux laptops.... And the best thing about phprunner is: You don't have to think about how it works,..... it just works. Knowing php and javascript basics is important if you want to customize your app to meet certain business rules. But trust me...good friends in this forum are always here to help <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=82851&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Hi Jerry, thanks for you reply.
In fact my first option is to use in "web app" mode (bootstrap) but I would like to have a native mobile app too.
At this moment I would like to be able to evaluate the complexity to build it.

Hi Romaldus, thanks for the tips. I love to work with PHPRunner.

I´ve been working with business intelligence projects for years (IBM Cognos, Microsoft SQL, etc) and this year I decided to do something diferent... and, here I am, learning html, php e etc. I must confess that It´s been an interesting jouney.
Regards,

PHPR already generates mobile friendly website with bootstrap.
If PHPRunner can also generate API calls to read data and write data from database tables,

it will also be able to provide data via the APIs for native mobile apps. This will make PHPR

event more userful and probably first in the market.
I had suggested earlier to have that ability perhaps in future version. i.e. PHPRUNNER can pick tables and generate APIs for read and write

with the events to manupilate data before and after api calls. I don't know if it will be taken into considertation tho'.

As others have suggested the mobile versions of the bootstrap templates work perfectly. If you were keen to develop something that could be downloaded from an app store then you could create a hybrid app and wrap your PHPR app inside it. There are lots of app makers out there who use this approach. Essentially you'd be running your app from a personalised downloadable browser (your iOS/Android/Windows app). I have this working with one of my applications and functions fine. The drawback of course is that it won't function offline.

Thanks Hudster,

Could you tell me wich solutin you are adopting?
Thanks,

This is a great post and should be noted by admin. As if an API with tutorial even to call with ( in hybrid the post to login and use the rest of the application online with security ) , it would be an incredible plugin to xlinesoft .

Just to note a couple of things.

1. This is the way the market is going , unless this get's done we will be behind the times.
   
2. Hybrid applications use html,css and javascript. So why then? There are plenty of web to hybrid builders out there / one is phonegap / titanium / eclipse thym and others.
   
3. The problem is this is a templated application ( PHPrunner ) Hybrid apps need one page to start and to include all the pages would be like writing a new program , so It would be tedious to even start that way ( solution is to incorporate the api into the source code )
   
4. You need a REST service to first attempt to do this with php backend server mysqli.
   
5. Bottom line this cannot be done easily with the way phprunner generates code. I hope this can be incorporated in the future as for those who are experienced in phprunner this can turn into major advances in application design.
   
6. Other wise a simple solution is to just use a service that converts your whole website into WEBVIEWS . I have tried it but ajax suggest does not work that great . here it the link . Convert / Android Only . And ads are included so maybe not a good solution you can also get into cordova/phonegap . Time consuming and not for major corporate projects

It all depends how complex you want to make things. You could try using solutions like phonegap etc. A straightforward solution is to use something like one of the app builders. You would essentially be inserting HTML/weblinks in to the apps so you phprunner pages open in the app.
A few app builders:

• Mobincube
  
• AppyPie
  
• Goodbabrer
  
• tigerappcreator (cheap solution to start something easy)
  
  to name a few --- google will help you out on that
  An open source solution would be something like siberiancms or keosu. You'll have the complications of having to host these yourself. I own a siberian platform and its quite a pain to install and look after....
  These solutions are literally just "wrappers for your app" - they won't add any additionally functionality other than being able to download from an app store.

Many thanks hudster.
