App Home Shortcuts

Enable quick action shortcuts when users long-press your app icon on the home screen. Nativine embeds native iOS UIApplicationShortcutItem (3D Touch / Haptic Touch) and Android ShortcutManager bridges, allowing users to jump directly to specific app features.

1. Overview & Native Capabilities

Home Screen Shortcuts give power users instant 1-tap access to core features. Nativine's App Shortcuts plugin registers native launcher quick action items:

• Long-Press Launcher Menu: Display up to 4 custom quick action menu items on the OS home screen.
• Direct Target Deep Linking: Route users immediately to target web views (e.g. "My Cart", "Scan QR", "Search Products").
• Dynamic Shortcut API: Add or remove shortcut items programmatically based on user login state.
