good morning everyone,

I'd like to know your point of view regarding the offline APP made with APPEON. I made a small APP (Offline Mobile APP for Telephone and without database) and tried to publish it directly on the devices and subsequently on the stores with negative results on both stores.

I try to explain better:

In Android, in addition to problems related to libraries with security problems, I find myself having strange behaviors related to events related to the keyboard, scrolls and the fact of having to click on the fields several times (only in the datawindows, because in the edit / editmask instead it works) for the device keyboard to appear (Phone only).

The behaviors related to the keyboard and the clicks on the datawindow fields are the same also for iOs, with a very significant difference, however, that the APP does not pass the validation processes of APPLE.
Reason?
Components no longer supported (UIWEBVIEW for example) and behavior not permitted by Apple. This last case is related to the reason that the APP initially starts by going to contact the Powerserver, and the developer who carried out the tests in APPLE starts the APP without any connection.

Result the APP stops immediately after being started and even before executing the first (open) event of the first form, therefore without being able to perform any checks.

I did tests with PB 2017 R3 and Powerserver PB Edition of the same version.

Then I also used PB 2019 and its Powerserver.

I also tried both PB 2019 Beta and Powerserver 2020 but in this case it is even worse since when I publish the Android app (not on the store but only on the device), the splash image opens first and immediately after the APPEON FRAMEWORK container gray and stops there.

I have been programming in PB for 22 years and I think I know the instrument well; I got excited thinking that I can use PB to develop cross-platform APP, since today we use Xcode and Xamarin.
I am however very discouraged, because I do not find feedback on the various forums, which are also very rare and not very popular.
At this point I ask the Community if someone has really published projects on the stores, at least to understand if I am having problems or if the tool is not yet fully mature and therefore I should leave PB for the development of APP.

Thanks to those who want to make a small contribution to my consideration.

PS. However the latest versions of PB (client / server) are awesome!
