Uploading Final Binaries to Mobile Administrator
Use the Upload-Binaries or Upload-Binaries-Last Ant tasks to build a project and upload the final binaries to Mobile Administrator so that the application is available via the Mobile Administrator App Store.
Note: | If you have an existing final binary, you can upload it directly from Mobile Administrator on Build tab for the project. |
To build a project and upload the final binaries to Mobile Administrator
1. In Software AG Designer, open the project you want to build and upload.
2. Click the Project Explorer view, expand the project, and drag the build.xml file to the Ant view.
3. In the Ant view, double-click Upload-Binaries or Upload-Binaries-Last.
If you select
Upload-Binaries,
Mobile Designer opens the Multi-Build dialog. Continue with the next step.
If you select
Upload-Binaries-Last, no further action is required.
Mobile Designer builds the last configuration and uploads it to
Mobile Administrator.
4. If you selected Upload-Binaries, select the device and language combinations that you want to build.
The Multi-Build dialog lists devices and language combinations for all the project’s targets. However, Mobile Designer only uploads the final binaries for the supported platforms. If you select devices that run on unsupported platforms, Mobile Designer performs the build, but does not upload the final binary and logs a notification in the console output.
Important: | Mobile Designer allows you to build the project for multiple devices for a single platform. However, when downloading an application from Mobile Administrator, Mobile Administrator only displays one version per platform. As a result, it is recommended that you select only the universal device for a platform that will be uploaded to Mobile Administrator. If you build for a specific device, a user that is using the same platform, but a different device might download an incompatible application. |
5. Update the Version field, if necessary.
When
Mobile Designer displays the Multi-Build dialog, it sets the version based on the
mobile.admin.upload.version property in the ma.properties file.
6. If you want to retain the code that Mobile Designer generates for each platform, select the Retain output build files check box.
7. Click Multi Build.
After
Mobile Designer successfully uploads a final binary to
Mobile Administrator, if the
mobile.admin.upload.open_browser_on_success property is set to
true, a webpage containing a link you can use to download the mobile application is displayed in the default browser.
