Is it worth building a mobile application for 1C using 1C tools?

Question

Mobile development

I heard that 1C has the ability to quickly develop a mobile application. It even has its own form configurator. The output is a ready-made APK for Android.

Is it worth using a generator of such mobile applications or is it recommended to develop a mobile client and the corresponding HTTP service in 1C from scratch?

Answer 1

It is recommended to use the technology that you know how to use!
In terms of file size and speed, it is better than self-written Java. But 1C will be cooler in terms of development speed and the ability to make a user interface rich in functions.

Answer 2

Using one or another development tool, you need to understand the purpose of the application.
1C, which one?
1C:Enterprise https://v8.1c.ru/tekhnologii/mobilnye-tekhnologii-1s/
1C:Bitrix https://www.1c-bitrix.ru/products/mobile/
And you need to use what allows you to solve a business problem. Lego and simple.

Answer 3

To develop a mobile version of the application, a regular configurator is used (on which configurations of applied solutions are created), the configuration has the "Purpose of use" property. If it is set to "Application for a mobile platform", then some typical handlers and the form itself change. That is, it is already adapting to the mobile phone.
To build the original application, there is a special configuration from 1C. But personally, it was more convenient for me just by loading the configuration from the server. That is, there are 2 ways to work: building the APK or installing the platform itself on the phone, and a base is already created in it, the conf for which is loaded from the publication (Apache / IIS)
