Native Plugins Overview

Supercharge your app with native SDKs and integrations

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. 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.

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 https://median.co/pricing. To add a Native Plugin to an existing license, use the License Management Link emailed to you during purchase.

❗️

Third-Party Disclaimer

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

For support of SDKs not listed in our Native Plugin Library contact us for custom development.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I integrate my app with a third-party SDK?

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 will work with you to define specifications for accessing the functionality offered by the SDK through the Median JavaScript Bridge. We have extensive experience integrating push notification providers, analytics tools, video and media providers, and more. Contact us for details.

Median's current plugin implementation is missing data or SDK methods - can additional functions be added?

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.

Can I add Native Plugins to my app after publishing?

Yes! Native Plugins can be purchased either initially with your app license via a Custom Package or added to your license in the future via your Native Plugins page.

Median also offers additional services, such as Full-Service App Configuration service, App Store Publishing Service or Solutions Architecture workshops on the License page of your app.
