Magento announced yesterday that Magento Mobile native applications will be shutting down on November 1, 2015. This gives Magento and merchants the opportunity to focus on responsive design and the Software Development Kit for mobile needs. These options are more efficient ways of building a better mobile experience through Magento.
Magento stated, “Magento Mobile applications will continue to operate as they do currently, and merchants and developers can continue to make standard modifications (color, logo, naming, etc.) to applications as normal,” until the following shutdowns take place:
September 1, 2015
October 1, 2015
November 1, 2015
Going forward, Magento will offer the responsive design template found in Community 1.9.1 or later and Enterprise 1.14.1 or later, as using responsive design and starting with a mobile display when building an eCommerce site is a great strategy to avoid pitfalls in the future.
Another mobile offering from Magento is the Software Development Kit that was announced with the release of Enterprise 1.14.2. The new SDK looks to improve the process of creating iOS apps, as it allows for communication between Magento and iOS devices. It also has a library of resources that make development both easier and quicker.
