AppSheet compatible data sources include:
B. GLIDE
Glide gives you a lot of components to work with, such as a map view, calendar view, user list, and even advanced things like a chat interface. It really does cover a lot of the basic components you would find in most apps. Glide aims to fix that by allowing anybody to build an app with no code by combining an easy-to-use builder with Google Sheets. Glide lets you add information to a Google sheet, spreadsheet, and then very quickly create an app from the contents without coding. Glide offers a lot of templates to showcase the components you can build with and give you a starting point if you aren't sure where to begin.
Ease of Deployment
A. APPSHEET
AppSheet supports both Instant Deployment and Traditional Deployment for ios and Android devices.
1.Instant Deployment
Invite other users to test your app. Simply send them a personalized email invitation directly from the AppSheet editor. Users will get instructions on how to load the app on their mobile device or browser. Right after the app is created, and install email will arrive at your inbox.
After you are done with changes to the app, mark it as deployed so all the services in the app are activated. Your app is now live! You can share it through the share tab in the editor, and you can now track usage of the app in the Manage tab.
2.Traditional Deployment
Traditional Deployment model is to create and submit each app separately to an app store (iTunes Store for iOS and Google Play Store for Android). Your users then find and download the app from the app store.
You should consider this model if:
i) The app store discovery and distribution model is important to you.
ii) You're aiming for large-scale consumer adoption of your app.
Once you have created and tested your app using instant deployment, you can generate a "white label" version of the app. This creates the app package you must submit to the appropriate app store. Be aware that you must go through the approval process mandated by the Google Play Store or iTunes App Store, and your app must conform to the policies of that store.
In order to get your apps onto your device, you must first download the AppSheet app from your device's app store. Any subsequent apps you create essentially run through the AppSheet app.
If you are an app creator, it's a good idea to install the AppSheet mobile app on your mobile device even if you won't be a user of the app. You may want to test your app on your own device before launching to your users. You can find the AppSheet app by searching for AppSheet in the iTunes store (for iOS devices) or Google Play store (for Android devices).
When you launch the AppSheet app, it asks you to sign in, after which it starts an App Gallery (itself an app created by AppSheet). The App Gallery lets you browse and run your apps, apps that have been shared with you, or public samples on your mobile device.
B. GLIDE
Glide supports only Instant Deployment. Glide apps are shared as simple links rather than the App Store.
In order to share the app and allow people to add it to their phone, click the Share App button in Glide, then click the Publish App button. Once you publish, you can now configure your App URL. This allows you to pick an easy-to-remember URL for your app.
Finally, share your app link so others can click Copy this app to make their own copy. There are 3 versions for this application that is Glide Free Version, Glide Pro Version monthly charge $29/month, and Glide Pro Version annually charge $228/year. this software is best suited when we want to build applications that will fetch data from spreadsheets, and therefore an application with more dynamic features cannot be built with this application. Glideapps can easily be used by companies that want to build inventory management, attendance, and other database related apps.
