Getting Started with Niotron Extension Development: Tips and Resources for Beginners

Discuss
1

Hello Niotron Community!

I’m new to Niotron and extension development, and I’m excited to dive into the world of creating custom features for my mobile apps. I’ve been exploring the platform and its features, but I could use some guidance on how to get started with extension development.

I’m looking for advice from experienced developers and any helpful resources you can recommend. Here are a few questions to kick off the discussion:

  1. What are the essential steps for beginners who want to create their first Niotron extension?
  2. Are there any specific resources, tutorials, or documentation that you found particularly useful when starting out?
  3. What are some common challenges new extension developers may face, and how can they overcome them?
  4. Do you have any best practices or tips to share based on your own experiences with extension development?

I’m eager to learn and connect with the Niotron community. Your insights and guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Happy coding!

Hello,

I’m currently trying to create my first Extension Project in Niotron IDE, but I’m facing an issue.

Whenever I enter the project information and click the “Continue” button, nothing happens. I already tried:

  • Different project names and package names

  • Leaving Icon URL and Help URL empty

  • Refreshing the page

  • Using different browsers

Example:

  • Project Name: SmartExtension

  • Package Name: com.smartextension.project

I would appreciate any help or guidance from the community.
Is there any special permission required for creating Extension Projects, or is this a known issue?

Thank you!
