Custom Web Parts on SharePoint Mobile App

Question

When migrating an existing SP 2013 On-Prem to SP Online using SPMT or ShareGate and given there are a number of custom Wb Parts and other customizations done mostly with SharePoint designer.

I know that maybe we will need to recreate some web parts as Add-Ins or Hosted Apps. But my question for this post is about the SharePoint Mobile App.

Should we allocate dev and QA time for validating and fixing issues in the Mobile Apps for iOS and Android?

Thanks

Answer 1

Actually there is no need for a mobile devs since Microsoft has provided as a SharePoint App

QA I would say yes, and Web developers that knows Microsoft platforms for Modern SharePoint (SPFX, React, TypeScript, SPPnp, Javascript). SharePoint online (I could say O365 as a whole) has followed Fabric UI design, if it works in Web, it will and should also work in SharePoint app.

OOTB functionalities should work well while custom webparts will work depends on the compatibility of the services that modern sharepoint supports, anyhow leave that issues to the web devs :) .

Hope the concept contributes, Good Day!

Answer 2

Quote from Microsoft, modern pages (and in fact all modern features) are designed to be responsive and look great on mobile devices.

So SharePoint add-in in modern page will work well in mobile app.
