Good Question Dave,
On the contrary, we do not publish a web site, we are developing for a
closed network of Automotive Shop Owners.
I am emulating how our java Swing application administration management
suite works and operates on a completely private network.
Our Shop Apps are above board and operate in a closed local network.
We require access to Camera, Local Storage (persist properties etc.) Phone
dialing.
It will be required in the future that a Customer (Auto Shops Customer)
would have a mobile app that would require internet access to a published
Server, however that is planned for Q1 of 2021.
Not being able to auto install (user interactive of course) is not a show
stopper, just want to simplify the application administration for our auto
shop users.
Hope this puts your mind at ease regarding the integrity of our apps.
Thoughts?
Regards.
