October 14, 2015

The release of iOS 9 has caused a mess of problems in the Apache Cordova, Ionic Framework, and PhoneGap communities. Problems spanning from styling issues, to permission issues, and even stricter security requirements that Apache Cordova wasn’t ready to handle.

Here I’m going to discuss App Transport Security (ATS) an issue that is rapidly appearing amongst app developers.

In case you’re in the area and are interested, I will be in Atlanta, Georgia on October 16 and October 17 speaking at ConnectJS. This is a conference focusing on JavaScript development and mobile application development.

I will be giving two presentations titled Quick and Easy Development with Node.js and Couchbase Server and Developing For Offline Mobile Experiences.

So after a lot of thinking about it I finally dedicated some time to creating my first ever Ionic Framework course! The title of the course is Ionic Framework 101: A Quickstart to Building Mobile Apps and it can be found on the learning service Udemy.

A little background on what I hoped to accomplish in this quickstart course.

Previously I wrote about using the device camera in your React Native mobile application. However, what if we wanted to go a step further and start scanning barcodes?

This is not a problem because the react-native-camera component we used in the last tutorial also supports barcode scanning.

Keeping up the trend of React Native coolness, I figured it would be a good idea to see how to access the native device clipboard. I had already demonstrated the device clipboard with Ionic Framework so it would only be fair to accomplish the same with React Native as well.

Out of the box with React Native you won’t be able to access the clipboard. You’re going to have to install a component, and lucky for us, one such component exists. We are going to check out the react-native-clipboard component by Fishfly.

Out of the box mobile platforms, and even React Native for that matter, don’t ship with a very large selection of icons. If we’ve chosen to use React Native as our development framework then we’re lucky that there is a great component that can be added to give us thousands of icons for use in our application.

Previously I wrote about how to use Font Awesome in an Ionic Framework and native Android applications. This time we’re going to see the same using React Native and the react-native-icons component by Cory Smith.

When creating a mobile application, chances are at some point in time you’re going to want to have more than one application view or screen. In many programming languages this is referred to as application routes.

With React Native, the navigator is used to switch between screens.
