Ionic's 2017-18 roadmap outlines several key developments aimed at enhancing the framework's compatibility, functionality, and accessibility for developers. The team released updates to ensure compatibility with iOS 11 and the iPhone X, transitioning to WKWebView for improved performance in new apps. They introduced Ionic Pro, a platform designed to streamline Ionic development with features like automated error tracking and upcoming Progressive Web App (PWA) hosting. The Ionic View app was split into two, focusing on beta testing and local development through the new Ionic DevApp. Looking ahead, the release of Ionic 4 will introduce framework-agnostic components built with Stencil, supporting various frameworks beyond Angular, and offering performance boosts for PWAs. Ionic is also investing in the Cordova plugin ecosystem and emphasizes its commitment to web technology, advocating for a strategy that leverages web standards to deliver versatile app experiences across platforms.
