This is how to develop a Google Instant app in 7 steps with Hilt
An instant app is a functionality that allows users to use your app without having to install it. This is part 2 of the Instant app series. Do you want more information about Instant apps? Then read the article here.
How do you start? That’s the question we asked ourselves last year when we decided to add an Instant app to our existing EcoScan app (www.EcoScanApp.eu). This is an app that helps users to sort waste their waste. Users simply take a photo or scan the barcode and we will tell them in which container it belongs based on their location.
Do I need an Instant app?
The most important thing is that you should first ask yourself whether it has added value for the user, otherwise it is better not to invest time in it. For EcoScan there was added value for the user. We enable manufacturers to provide location-based advice for their customers. Their customers could scan a QR code, which then opens the Instant app. The user can therefore quickly see in which container the waste belongs without having to download the app first.
There are already various tutorials that you can use for developing an Instant app, but things have been modified in recent years in terms of development, so that it often worked differently now.
