[aerogear-dev] Ionic Deploy Demo (hot/remote application updates)

Hi folks, This is a neat demo[1] of the Ionic Deploy feature that supports. Some points and thoughts on it: - Facilitates updating the HTML, CSS, and JS of a Cordova application - Probably works best with Cordova applications built using Ionic's tools - Requires a Cordova plugin to fetch updates - Can store X versions in history on device for rollback - Supports "channels" so you can enrol beta testers by subscribing their application to the "beta" instead of "production" channel - Requires you to push code to their Git remote, but according to a webinar they will add webhook support - Can be configured remotely to behave in 3 different patterns: - Always check for and download updates on the splashscreen - Check in the background and apply next time application is launched - Allow developers to define strategy themselves in JS code It's a paid for feature as part of their Ionic Pro platform. I haven't used the Pro platform yet, but looks like it will have/has some features similar to Firebase, e.g static hosting, crash reporting, remote testing and more.
