Summary: It would be highly valuable to have a feature in Mendix Native Mobile apps that allows developers to define and apply conditional secondary or alternate icons—either as overlays (badges) or as entirely different icons—based on runtime logic or user profile.
Problem:
Currently, Mendix Native apps do not support dynamic changes to app icons or visual overlays that reflect a user’s app state or status. This limits UX customization and makes it difficult to create truly personalized or responsive experiences for different user groups or app states. To implement this developer need to add react library and write the custom logic.
Proposed Feature:
Allow developers to define multiple icon assets (primary, secondary, or alternate).
Enable conditional logic (via nanoflow or expression) to switch icons or display overlays dynamically.
Applicable to:
Launcher icon (if technically feasible within OS constraints).
In-app visual indicators (e.g., list items, profile icons, dashboard widgets).
Benefits:
Significantly improves user experience by offering personalized visual feedback.
Adds native-app-style polish to Mendix applications.
Supports better branding and segmentation for multi-tenant or tiered offerings.
Encourages low-code developers to build more context-aware and user-centric apps.
Great Suggestion
