As 9to5mac managed to get from the iOS 14 version code they received a few months ago, Apple will be working on a new function called Clips. The purpose of Clips to allow users compatibility with the installed version of the application from a link or QR code.
Between working and pushing
Now, when we touch the link, usually, we open with Safari and visit the related page. In addition, links, which can be included in the QR code, can point directly to the application so this is what unlocks the answer. For example, we can touch a specific link and open the package tracking in the app Release or take action Shortcuts.
What the project proposes Clips to do one step further. Do that by touching the link or scanning the QR code, the program downloads an important part of the specific application needed to display the content or perform the action displayed by the link. So, for example, we can find a link and see, in the form of a card, a floating type of home-dining app or app where you can change your flight ticket reservations. All of this, in addition, without having to download the app at any time.
It is understood that this function, in addition to providing attractive assistance to all compatible devices, will serve as a means of promotion and marketing for apps that provide service. In the end, if we are happy with what the app has provided us with this kind of "performance preview", we are likely to get the full app.
Developers will have to indicate which part of their application should be downloaded by the system when a call has been received on a specific link. With it, iOS 14 will take care of everything. According to 9to5mac this performance is tested OpenTable, restaurant booking app, Yelp, DoorDash, Sony & # 39; s PS4 Second Screen and YouTube.
We will definitely see the presentation of this new API at the next developer conference. The opportunities, without a doubt, are numerous and very exciting.
