NativePHP Mobile 4.3.0#

NativePHP for Mobile 4.3.0 is out. This is a shell-and-chrome release: the bundle is a little cleaner, watch mode seeds the Vite hot file into the simulator, and a couple of insets that were painting in the wrong place are fixed.

Upgrade with:

composer update nativephp/mobile
php artisan native:install
php artisan native:run

native:install has to run after the composer update and before native:run so the native shell picks up the new package.

Bundle and watch#

• The bundle no longer registers view paths it never ships.
• Zip entry names are decoded as UTF-8 when extracting the app bundle, so emoji-named files survive the copy.
• native:watch seeds the Vite hot file into the simulator container on start, so HMR can find the app.

Chrome that stays out of the system UI#

• On iOS, UI.SetBackground no longer paints the keyboard's helper windows.
• On Android, the bottom bar no longer draws under the system navigation bar.
