do service workers work in the QB mobile app?
I've searched this forum but cannot find any mention on whether service worker work in the QB app. Does anyone know? If they do not I won't invest time with them. thanks J -----------------...
Forum Discussion
I've just started making changes, and the BOL IOL 3QS are ingenious workarounds, but I was looking for something a little more clean like service workers.
The app I am making has 2 parts that will be used on tablets/phone devices that will have non native QB features.
1. form with signature option (without paying for signature extension)
2. form with photo with markups

Well, I'm not sure if you've seen in some of the other posts, but JS is going to be limited in the near future, so just be sure that if you use JS, the script itself is run from a code-page and not on the form.

------------------------------- The JS limitation was really only shared with QSPs but it something QB has talked about ever since Dan introduced IOL from what i remember.

------------------------------ - Hi John,
I just wanted to chime in and say Blake is correct that currently a lot of the work arounds for service workers and other techniques use javascript injected into the fields and forms of Quick Base. This was not an intentional choice on our part and as we work to improve the platform changes can and will happen that will limit the abilities to use Javascript or break existing javascript so we recommend having any code like Blake mentioned instead used in code pages.

- I may have to go with plan C for the 2 special parts I need
1. make responsive website or PWA
2. create user accounts there
3. use api to call QB
More initial work, but on the plus side I don't get charged per user.

------------------------------- Just be careful you dont have a read limit on your QB account. Otherwise you may run into unforseen expenses. API Reads are even more limited than normal reads.

------------------------------- thanks GMacri, I did not know that.
I don't know what is considered 1 read, so I will have to find that out and code accordingly.
