Ionic has launched an early access program aimed at enhancing collaboration between web and native development teams by integrating web functionality into existing native mobile apps through an embedded WebView, powered by their Capacitor native runtime. This initiative enables web developers to safely extend native iOS and Android apps by adding new features, while native developers retain control over the project by managing which functionalities and data are accessible. The program allows teams to work in parallel, with web teams developing features like expense management screens, while native teams handle other aspects, potentially increasing efficiency and productivity. Ionic is seeking evaluation customers to participate in the program and provide feedback to shape the product's future direction.
