WaveMaker 11.13.0 - Release date: 29 September 2025

WaveMaker 11.13.0 introduces major enhancements across Web, Studio, and React Native, including improved preview and debugging experiences, secure storage support in React Native, and updated tech stack for better performance and stability.

Enhancements

Web

Support for ng serve in Web Apps

WaveMaker web apps can now be run and debugged locally using ng serve, just like standard Angular applications. This makes it easier for developers to test, debug, and extend their apps outside of Studio by running the frontend independently and connecting it to backend services via a proxy configuration.

Improved Calendar widget date range handling

In Calendar widget, months and years outside the defined minimum and maximum date range are now not only greyed out but also show a block icon (🚫) cursor on hover. This provides clearer feedback to users when attempting to select unavailable options.

Customizable AM/PM labels in Date/Datetime widget

The Date and Datetime widgets now support customizable AM/PM labels. Developers can override the default text by adding LABEL_AM and LABEL_PM entries in Localized Messages (i18n). Once defined, these labels will be applied in the Time and Datetime widgets to match project requirements.

Studio

Improved inspection panel refresh flow

The inspection panel now provides clear feedback while results are being refreshed. When a refresh is triggered, the Refresh and Download buttons are disabled until the process completes, and a loading indicator (“Inspection in progress…”) is displayed. Once results are updated, the buttons are re-enabled and a notification confirms the update. This prevents repeated clicks, avoids confusion with old results, and ensures a smoother inspection experience.

Removed Document API Warning in Prefabs

The warning about using the document API in prefab scripts has been removed. Developers can now use the API without seeing unnecessary warnings.

Alphanumeric Support for OpenID Provider ID

OpenID provider IDs now support alphanumeric values, allowing identifiers such as IDP1, IDP2, etc. This enhancement makes it easier to manage multiple OpenID providers with clear and flexible naming.

React Native

Major enhancements to Studio web preview experience

We’ve significantly upgraded the Studio web preview experience to streamline development and enable faster debugging.

Key Enhancements

Build Progress Indicators

• Provides visual step-by-step indicators during the build process
• Displays the number of completed steps and time taken for each step, offering better visibility into loading progress

Improved Error Display in Preview

• Build errors now appear directly within the preview, removing the need to manually check Studio logs
• Error messages are descriptive and contextual, clearly indicating the useful information like stage, file location, line number where the issue occurred

Clean Preview

Introduced a Clean Preview option in the Studio, that clears cached builds and generates a fresh build for preview.

Enhanced Device Preview & Layout Testing

• Preview now supports a broader range of devices, including popular phones and tablets.
• Easily switch between portrait and landscape modes to validate responsiveness.
• Adjustable zoom controls for fine-tuning layouts across various screen sizes.

WavePulse Integration

• Integrated debugging inside Studio Preview:
  • Console logs
  • Network activity
  • UI element tree with properties and applied styles

Before vs After

Before	After
Generic spinner only	Visual step-by-step loader
Blank screen on error	Error display with exact failure step
No inbuilt debugging tools	WavePulse is now integrated into web preview

These upgrades make Studio Preview more developer friendly, helping you easily build, test, and debug your apps.

Support for disabling screen capture

A new option is available to protect sensitive data by preventing screenshots in apps. When enabled, this feature blocks both direct screenshots and cached screenshots that appear in the recent apps screen.

To enable, add the following in wm_rn_config.json:

"screenCaptureProtection": {
  "enabled": true
}

Note: This requires a development build and may not work in Expo Go.

Secure Storage Service

Introducing SecureStorageService, a newly added service in WaveMaker React Native, to store sensitive data such as authentication tokens, passwords, or API keys in an encrypted way. This service leverages platform-specific secure storage (via Expo Secure Store), so developers no longer need to manually import or configure libraries.

Example usage:

async function manageAccessToken() {
  try {
    // Set the AccessToken
    await App.getDependency("SecureStorageService").setItem("AccessToken3", "Wavemaker3");

    // Get the AccessToken
    const accessToken = await App.getDependency("SecureStorageService").getItem("AccessToken3");
    Page.Widgets.label2.caption = await App.getDependency("SecureStorageService").getItem("AccessToken3");

    // Log the result
    console.log(accessToken); // Should log "Wavemaker3" if successful
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("An error occurred:", error);
  }
}

Supported methods:

Method	Description
getItem(key)	Retrieves a securely stored value for the given key.
setItem(key, value)	Stores the value securely under the given key.
removeItem(key)	Removes a securely stored value.

Note : SecureStorageService supports a maximum of 4KB per key and is not intended for large datasets.

Bottom Sheet Enhancements

The Bottom Sheet widget has been enhanced with new properties for greater control over its behavior:

• Enable Drag Settle – Keeps the Bottom Sheet at the position where the user releases it after swiping down, instead of auto-closing.
• Disable Swipe Down Close – Prevents the Bottom Sheet from fully closing when swiped down. When enabled, the sheet collapses to a minimum height, which can be configured using the Bottom Sheet Minimum Height property (as a percentage of the screen height). For example, 0.3 means the Bottom Sheet will occupy 30% of the screen height when collapsed.

These properties deliver a smoother, more flexible bottom sheet interaction.

Bugs

React Native

Splash Screen Fix

Resolved an issue where the developer configured splash screen was not displayed, and the WaveMaker default splash screen appeared instead. Splash screens now render correctly as configured by the developer.
