Features & enhancements

Item Description
Enhancement AppSheet uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send notifications to branded mobile apps. FCM is migrating to a new protocol that will take effect on June 21, 2024. For more information, see the Firebase FAQ https://firebase.google.com/support/faq#fcm-depr-service.

Starting on May 1st, app creators who send notifications through a branded mobile app need to make the configuration changes. For more information, see the community announcement.

Bug fixes

Item Description
Bug For desktop UI, more aspects of inline views will be persisted after expanding them.

With this change, user modifications to an inline view (such as a dashboard entry or a table in a detail view) will be kept upon expanding the view on the desktop, as they would be on mobile.

For example, if a user toggles the column sort order of a table in a dashboard view and then expands that entry, the table rows will now stay in the same order. This also applies in the opposite direction: if the user makes further changes to the expanded table then collapses the view, those changes will still be seen upon returning to the dashboard view.

This update will be rolled out gradually. It is deployed to 100% of free users.

Bug For desktop UI, for onboarding views AppSheet now sets image max height to contain image sizes.

Item Description
Feature AppSheet apps for desktop users (Preview)

The new desktop design, currently in preview, is optimized for desktop browsers, presenting a more complete view of information with a consistent organization and structure. The new desktop design lets users navigate their apps more easily and access information in context, and provides an efficient way to edit existing records without losing context. The legacy desktop design, enabled by default, provides an experience similar to the mobile and tablet device.
