Native app generation

Mobile applications can be generated for different types of distribution and for different purposes.

We can generate them for iOS and Android. Furthermore, they can be generated for testing purposes, for small groups of users, or on a massive scale. This gives us an interesting set of scenarios and possible alternatives for generating our applications.

In addition, we can distribute mobile applications as PWAs without the need for them to be generated. They are distributed by a URL or QR code and opened on our devices.

PWAs also allow these 'mobile applications' to be opened in web browsers and 'installed' locally on computers as apps.

Note: On iOS devices, this is only possible via the Safari browser.
