Standalone Mobile Apps Possibility

[Das Goravani]

Thanks Phil. Do you know how much that serverlessclent license is roughly?

Yes in my case I need to install a SQLite database too.. 

I have an App Server Server going already.. if I needed to sync data.. but I don’t need to.. this would be astrology, not business. They would be truly standalone .. I suppose one might want to distribute updates to the app as a sync download type situation.. I don’t know.. 

Curious if there are runtime fees for each copy deployed?

Actually come to think of it I might at times want to sync data, only to provide users with updates to the built in data I provide like atlas of cities worldwide.. and other built in databases..
