Toolbox / JS Plugin in Native Mobile Beta

I’ve got the toolbox expression element on my web app that generates a calendar for me, basically.

Upon porting my app to the native mobile version, toolbox no longer works. I tried using another plugin - the ZeroQode native mobile toolbox plugin - but this is unable to pass date objects (or any type other than a string) therefore I cannot reconstruct my calendar still.

My solution has been to just turn my calendar into a webview, which is visible on my mobile version. It works fine, but is super slow to load, and I don’t feel good about it not being natively built for all sorts of reasons.

SO

Does anyone know whether the Toolbox plugin is being developed for mobile, or whether a better solution to this is in the works?

Thanks!

I don’t know if it is possible, just occured me an idea…
Have you ever tried to create a plugin, server side, and run you JS?

I did take a look at the plugin editor, but it seemed super complex and I wasn’t sure it would work natively on mobile after publishing. If anyone knows more about plugin development and can advise, i’d be glad to take a look!

Learn Plugins…
Its very easy and powerfulll
You can sure do BackEnd Processing.
Bacically, you pass variables to Plugin, process JS, return results to you app.

I’ll look into it then, thank you :slight_smile: do plugins automatically work on native mobile or do you have to develop them differently?

I completely agree with you, I ask myself the same questions. :+1:

The team is focused on brining plugin support for the mobile editor as a priority upgrade to the beta. So you should all get plugins in the coming months

Thanks for the clarification. I’ve been doing native mobile development in bubble for the past 2-3 months and noticed just recently that a lot of plugin pages now say “Web & Native mobile” under Platform on the right side of the page. And the plugin search page also allows filtering by platform. I installed some plugins but when I look in the bubble editor elements section in mobile app view, the expected plugins elements do not appear.
