STRATEGYMobile Apps are Hybrid

Uniface Mobile StrategyHybrid Apps – based on HTML/JavaScript Fits well with Uniface

Productivity Technology independence

Accepted in the market place Covers most mobile requirements Native vs Hybrid is an industry debate

Challenge on productivity to deliver and maintain. Challenge on requirements and capability

95% of the functionality for 50% of the delivery cost.Jeffery Hammond, Forrester Analyst.

Uniface Mobile StrategyWhy Hybrid Apps Same business logic Multiple client types Close connection to the Web Responsive

The Uniface approach Database connection Business Logic in services

Uniface Mobile RoadmapContinuing our 3-phase delivery approach Phase 1 - Responsive Web GUI

Delivered Uniface 9.6/9.7 Enables browser access from any device

Phase 2 – Installable (Hybrid) Mobile Apps Delivered in Uniface 9.7.02 Enables the installation in a mobile device Enables distribution via app store

Phase 3 – offline storage Delivery TBD Potentially a phased delivery Enable offline execution of apps - FaceBook Enable offline storage and synchronization of application data

Uniface 9.7.02 Installable (Hybrid) Mobile AppsOur Solution Uniface generates the required output and uploads it to a

3rd party build service (Buildozer) Apps are uploaded to the app store(s) for distribution

Customers require Uniface 9.7.02 An account with Buildozer

The API enables the addressing and manipulation of Uniface objects, data, and components to:

• implement a trigger or operation in JavaScript

• call a trigger or operation from JavaScript• inspect and change a value, property, field

syntax or valrep from JavaScript• add occurrences or mark them for deletion• create and delete instances of DSP

components• implement a new widget

JavaScript API Uniface

Browser Based Debuggers

Emulations for Mobile applications

Test your mobile application, the Previewer app

DEPLOYMENTBuild Your Mobile App

Generate a mobile application start-up shell

Send the mobile shell to Buildozer to be built

Monitor the build status (if needed)

Build process gives 2 outputs per OS, test and production (to be sent to the app store)

Download to test or send to the app store

Intention is that this will automatically be sent to the app store, currently the developer has to upload to Apple and/or Google

Final ‘admin steps’ for app publication

App stores require administration before an app is made available

• Pricing details

• Description

• Release notes to be displayed

• Etc

Apps have an approval process

• Relatively straightforward for a Hybrid app

• Release takes hours for Google and days for Apple

• Process is outlined on the Apple/Google websites.
