How the Process Works
Let’s look at the overall process so you know what to expect when creating and distributing your branded Salesforce Mobile app using the Mobile Publisher engine.
Here’s the overall process of branding your Salesforce Mobile app and publishing it to the app stores for distribution.
- Sign up for Mobile Publisher through the Salesforce Mobile App Plus program. Contact your Salesforce sales rep for more information.
- If you’re planning on distributing your app publicly, create a developer account for Apple and Google to publish your app on the respective platforms. You can also plan to distribute your app privately.
- Configure your components for your Salesforce Mobile app and ensure they’re mobile ready.
- Decide on your app distribution method and type..
- Prepare your branded assets.
- Create a Mobile Publisher project and upload your branded assets and app store information.
- Request and install a special managed package for your app.
- Request the beta version of your mobile app so that you can test and verify your branding and component configurations meet your requirements.
- Thoroughly test the beta version of your app and verify that your branding and component configurations meet your requirements.
- Submit the app to Google Play or the App Store for approval. The store approval process can take from one day to two weeks depending on the app.
- See your branded app listed in Google Play and the App Store.
After your app is available to download from Google Play and the App Store maintenance is a breeze. If your app branding changes in the future, you can make an unlimited number of edits to your assets.
