Native Plugins Overview

Native Plugins are modular code extensions that enable your Median-powered app to access native device features, hardware capabilities, and third-party SDKs on iOS and Android. Launch a full-featured native app quickly and easily with only minimal web development.

These plugins are easily accessed through the Median JavaScript Bridge, a powerful API built into your app that allows your website to communicate with native app functionality.

Getting started with native plugins

Native Plugins may be purchased and added to your app during your initial license purchase or in the future as part of an app update. For pricing and to purchase visit median.co/pricing. To add a Native Plugin to an existing license, use the License Management Link emailed to you during purchase.

📘
Note: Third-Party Plugins
Some plugins require active subscriptions or licenses from third-party providers. Median is not liable for changes or issues related to these external services.

Adding Native Plugins

Median also supports private plugins built for specific customers, whether a third-party vendor SDK, external hardware such as Bluetooth devices, or specific native functionality. Contact our team to learn about options and pricing.

Plugin Trials

Essential and Plus plugins are available for trial prior to purchase. We recommend fully testing that a plugin will meet your needs prior to upgrading your plan.

To start a trial:

Go to the Native Plugins section in App Studio
Click the + button next to the plugin name
The plugin will appear under your Installed Plugins list with a "Trial Active" label if no license is detected

While on a plugin trial there will be a 'This app was developed using Median' popup. You can remove this by purchasing the appropriate license for the plugin to your app.

Custom Plugin Development

The ability to integrate with SDKs from third-party vendors is a differentiating reason to build an app with Median. Our engineering team will integrate the required SDK within our App Studio Build platform for iOS and/or Android so that the SDK is incorporated automatically during each build of your app.

We have extensive experience integrating push notification providers, analytics tools, video and media providers, and more. Contact us for details.

Custom Plugin Implementation

As your needs evolve, Median can enhance your plugin implementation to include new functions or data points from third-party SDKs. We'll work with you to meet your specific requirements. Contact us for details.
