The first Ionic Show of 2023 highlighted the company's focus on cost-saving through web-based solutions and introduced several updates and new features across its product suite. CEO Max emphasized the shift towards cross-platform apps to reduce expenses associated with maintaining native teams, which has increased interest in Capacitor. Key updates include the upcoming release of Ionic 7, featuring improvements such as inline overlays, consistent event emissions, and faster performance in React and Vue, alongside enhanced Vite compatibility. The Stencil v3 update modernizes its codebase and offers a better developer experience, while new plugins for Capacitor, like Auth Connect 4 and SSL Pinning, enhance security and functionality. Appflow now supports traditional native apps, alongside its existing support for Cordova, Capacitor, and React Native, and integrates Trapeze for streamlined project configuration. The Portals team introduced advancements in micro frontends, including asset reuse and the Federated Capacitor approach, offering flexibility for large organizations. The show concluded with a live Q&A session, with the company inviting the community to stay engaged through its blog updates.
