I've been hosting my Angular2 app with Firebase.
Then every time I deploy my app on Firebase, I cannot see my changes soon, and seems it takes a long time to update my app.
Is it usual for firebase hosting not to reflect the differences of source code? Now I'm planning to upgrade my firebase plan. If anyone knows about this, I hope to know. Thanks.

If I make changes to the HTML/CSS/JS code of my ionic code, will the customer have to update the app or will it be updated dynamically?
As far as I know, we just push a website into an app and deploy it. When we change the code of your website and deploy it, the website changes show up automatically.
I wonder if Ionic runs the same way? Some people suggest that it is just running the app in a web view. So the app is intact, I change the website, what will it do?
I really want to know about this because we are trying to modernise our application. Our application depends on the server too much for view rendering and for all the logic. I want to make the client a little independent but at the same time keep the changes dynamic like they are right now.
Thank you so much.
So in some apps, I noticed that there is a new button, feature etc without me updating on the play store how can I do it on an app developed using flutter
In case you want something like expo OTA update, that is currently neither possible, nor on the roadmap, accourding to Flutter. :(
You can pull information from a database that will update your app, so basically for example
var backgroundColor = firebaseColor
firebaseColor can be edited in firebase(or another backend), so whenever you set it in firebase it will update in the app and change the appearance of the app without actually pushing an update. this is an over simplistic explanation but the concept works with anything.
Does flutter allows us to push live updates without updating the app through play store or app store?
I have a built flutter application and I frequently do to it changes by adding new announcements and pictures. However, when i do these changes they don’t appear on the app that has been already launched on the play store and nothing appears to the users. So what can I do to change this and to make any change I do to directly go live. Other than pushing a new version update everytime as this isn’t reliable at all.
You need to get the data from a backend instead of uploading new assets to the app every time. If you do that you will need to release updates for the app all the time + the app bundle size will be much bigger. It's basically just not how it is supposed to be done.
A backend is something like an online "storage" for your app's data.
If you don't already know how to build APIs you can also use Fireabse which is more beginner-friendly. If you do know python for example you could use Flask or Django. More on backends here
hey few weeks backs I decided I wanted to learn to write code and understand the basics of it. The reason behind it is that I want to create an iOS app for my current online business. My business is all digital and I run my website through Wix. So as as I was dabbling with Xcode and learning the swift language, I though I found a way to create a super simple app, that would just display my mobile website using a simple WebKit View. It looked pretty good to me and it worked perfectly.
However when I sent the app for review to the App Store they rejected it because since I was selling digital content I was not allowed "to provide access to external payment mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app".
So as I continue to learn more and more I found out that you can use Google's Firebase databases to create a log in method within your app. However, since my business is all through wix, I was wondering if there is a way that you can connect Wix's data bases to Xcode the same way that you can connect Firebase to Xcode? or is there a way that I can connect the Wix's database to Firebase and then have them interact directly through my Xcode project?
I apologize in advance If I am using wrong terminology. I have been working on this for a few weeks but I am eager to learn more. I would really appreciate some guidance. thank you.
I want to know if there is a method or library to use in checking my app's version-number on Google PlayStore? Want to advise users to update to the latest version if their apk's version number is behind
There is no official API at the moment. And using the solutions you find on the web are bad. Most of them involve scraping the Play Store website and will break whenever the Play store re-designs their web page.
Right now I would recommend using Firebase Remote Config. That way you can store in the Firebase server whatever you want the minimum version for your app to be, and them when you want users to update you can increase the value. This lets you control when you need to force an update and is much more flexible, and very easy to update.
