Google is killing Instant Apps, they’ll cease to exist in December this year. This is the latest Google product to join the Google Graveyard, which is

Google va mettre un terme aux Instant Apps sur Android en décembre prochain. Lancées en 2016, ces « apps instantanées » permettent de tester des apps sans les installer en entier depuis Google Play, ce qui facilite leur découverte. Un Instant App sur Android. Image Google/iGeneration. Des services comme Wish ou Vimeo s’en sont servis pour proposer un avant-goût de leurs apps aux internautes : en touchant un lien sur le web l’utilisateur voit apparaitre une mini-app (la taille est limitée à 15 Mo pour un chargement rapide) avec laquelle il peut faire quelques actions, avant de télécharger éventuellement l’application complète. L’idée est intéressante, sauf qu’elle ne semble pas avoir vraiment pris. Un message dans une bêta d’Android Studio indique que toutes les API liées aux Instant Apps ne fonctionneront plus à la fin de l’année, comme le relève Android Authority. Cet abandon pose la question de la pérennité des App Clips, la solution équivalente d’Apple. Ces « extraits d’apps » réalisables depuis 2020 ne semblent pas rencontrer un gros succès et la Pomme n’en a pas reparlé depuis 2023. À l’époque, elle les avait fait évoluer pour qu’ils puissent être plus volumineux (50 Mo au lieu de 15) et intégrables dans les applications. Un App Clip sur iOS. Image iGeneration. Là où les App Clips jouent leur rôle le plus important, c’est certainement dans la découverte des commerces aux alentours. Vous avez peut-être vu apparaitre sur l’écran de votre iPhone une suggestion pour un salon de coiffure ou un lieu touristique à proximité : un appui dessus ouvre un App Clip de Mapstr ou d’un autre service de bonnes adresses. Mais voulez-vous vraiment ce type de suggestion qui ressemble à de la pub ? De la pub sur l'écran d'accueil de l'iPhone ? Non, des App Clips

Let us include the Swipe tool in a Basic InstantApp without it being toggled on by default. We need more basic toggles for stuff like this in InstantApps in general.

User that is in out AGOL account that has Viewer License and Role cannot access an Instant App that has been published.

I am creating a Parks map using URL parameters so that the map can be embedded on several web pages and then each one can zoom to each specific park.  (Using &Name=Park%20Name).

I am using the Sidebar InstantApps template and have enabled the 'Export' function within 'Interactivity' -> 'Share'.

I'm working on doing accessibility assessments for some of our public-facing Instant Apps.

Would it make sense ...

Sometimes Instant apps is about 80% of what I need an application to do.  I also find (admittedly because of my own lack of experience) that Experience Builder is time-consuming to set up. It would be fantastic to be able to start in Instant Apps, then export or save into Experience Builder to furth...

I'm sorry you are suffering. I felt the same way, I loved web app builder. For me experience builder has been cumbersome and glitchy so I have been using instant apps instead.
