4D for iOS – Building your first, offline-ready iOS app

4D for iOS – Building your first, offline-ready iOS app

• Duration: 60 minutes
• Level: Beginner
• Language: English

This training is divided in two stages.

First, you’ll discover how and when to use 4D for iOS to expand your business application through a presentation of use cases. The presentation focuses on how 4D for iOS:

• allows you to create several mobile apps, highly task centric, connected to one business application
• gives access to specific features, none of which are available from desktop or even web applications
• is natively capable of managing data offline and thus solves the problem of running applications in areas where no connection is available

Then, during the second stage, you’ll learn how to build a 4D for iOS app, step by step, by building the mobile app showcased during the 4D World Tour live 2021.

Benefits

At the end of this session, you'll be able to:

• Create several mobile applications with a single 4D application
• Specify only the necessary tables of your application
• Interact with 4D server to execute 4D code on the server side
• Easily customize the interface of your mobile application
• Manage the unpacking of an application for testing purposes, or to put it into production
