In these approaches, often implemented as native apps, the local replica database communicates directly with the back-end servers without the app necessarily knowing about the synchronization. As Bricklin explained, alternative approaches to intermittent connectivity typically used with native or hybrid apps involve saving changes to a local on-device database that synchronizes with the back-end database when connectivity is available. The Alpha approach works with HTML5 Web-based mobile apps only, as opposed to native or hybrid apps. As identified by CTO Dan Bricklin, some of the major issues involved in offline mobile apps include persisting local data such as unsynchronized transactions and app state transferring transactions back to the enterprise database managing the "peculiarities of mobile wireless connectivity" and providing information about the app's workings to the user.Ĭontrasting Approaches to Offline Mobile Apps (source:Alpha Software Corp.)
