Ionic Native 3.x, released by Max Lynch and the Ionic team, introduces significant enhancements for developing mobile applications with over 130 native mobile SDK features using JavaScript interfaces across major platforms, including the web. This version notably reduces the code bundle size by allowing developers to install only the necessary plugins, resulting in up to a 15% improvement in code size. It also supports full plugin mocking, enabling developers to test and build entire applications in the browser without relying on device or emulator testing, thereby increasing development speed and flexibility. However, Ionic Native 3.x does not support Ionic/Angular 1.x, requiring those users to continue with version 2.x. The team is exploring further improvements, such as facilitating work with plugins that have browser APIs, and invites feedback from users to enhance browser development capabilities.
