I recently came across https://experience.sap.com/fiori-design-ios/ and the UI Elements seems to be more of a "native version" in iOS - does anyone have any idea if there is a library / toolkit from SAP to jump-start or this is more of a teaser of something that does not exist?
talking to the SAP/Apple iOS apps team here at Sapphire 2016 the SDK is being worked on along with some initial apps. Current expectation is that SDK will be released for Q4 2016. It will be based on Swift
Are you allowed to talk with them about the main the strategy line? - Why jumping to native again? - What I've read in the Fiori Guidelines website so far means nothing, it's "bla bla bla" talk and exposes no real reasons for the move.
Considering UI5 cannot run and will never run (as it is) on mobile properly, is this the iOS alternative to get some performance? - About Fiori Guidelines, they are sort of defined "device independent" meaning no native control is used but they will break in between iOS & others.. how's that gonna work?
Thanks a lot for your previous reply! (and sorry for all the questions, customers tend to dislike when stuff shift this drastically and I cannot explain the reasons)
I disagree and I find this a major change in direction.. mainly because they are bringing "Fiori" into the play, and customers will ask: "what is that?" - it only makes total sense to go native if the customer is asking "Fiori" and have iOS and totally forget the fact UI5 even exist; who in their sane minds would choose UI5 that can barely hit 15 fps on a device?
It's sad this is "tied" up to HCP, even thou has nothing to do with HCP..
Thanks, that's good.. - still vague, but we can clearly see there is no "launchpad" involved anymore, perhaps the internal app store which is also "shown" in the latest road-map document.
Maybe some more info to come in the next few days..
