Is there any limitation using google apps script for google sheets in chrome OS (chromebook)?


I would like to create a google sheet with some automation using google apps script (e.g. checking text, displaying pop-up, changing tab...), with these functionnalities available on a small & cheap device such as tablet or small computer (chromebook...).

I created the script and it works well on a desktop computer, but when I tried on an android tablet I saw that the functionnality is really limited. As described in a some other posts (e.g. How to get google sheets script working on mobile app? and Display message from onEdit() in "Google Sheets" Android app), I realized that it is quite complicated to make things work on such a device.

My question is: will my problems be solved if I buy a chromebook instead of an android tablet ? I never had one so I do not know if google apps script works the same on a chromebook as on a desktop computer.

If not, what is the simplest solution ?


Solution

  • No, there is no limitation. My main laptop is a cheap Chromebook and I do Apps Script all day.
