Google recently updated the tools available to Chrome App for Mobile developers, who can now add more native-app functionality to their web apps. Chrome App for Mobile, which was launched earlier this year, gives developers a way to package up web apps and make them available in the Play Store or App Store. According to Google, it has added Chrome APIs for managing identity, Google Cloud Messaging, and rich notifications. This means developers will be able to take advantage of these new capabilities and build them into their Chrome-based web apps for Android and iOS devices. Google said it also improved developer workflow and extended the modern WebView capabilities to versions of Android back to Ice Cream Sandwich. Developers are free to access the new tools through Google's Chromium developer portal.
