Supported browsers and screen resolutions
Supported browsers
App Studio works best on browsers based on Chromium or Webkit, such as the latest versions of Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
Supported screen resolutions
App Studio requires a minimum screen width of at least 1200px so that the UI can be rendered effectively. Choosing a smaller screen resolution could impair the app building experience and the overall accessibility.
