I am new to IBM Bluemix, I want to create a mobile app using bluemix. I went through many vedios and tutorials but those are based on Mobile Builder which is not part of bluemix catalog anymore. I know I can use MobileFirst service but not sure what are the exact steps. Can someone elaborate step by step to create a mobile app in bluemix.
Thanks in advance!!!
To start building a Mobile application on Bluemix, visit the new Mobile dashboard below:
https://console.bluemix.net/developer/mobile/dashboard
From there, you can either choose a starter kit or services to get started.
If you select a starter kit, you can add services like Mobile Analytics, App ID (security), and Push Notifications to your project after it's created. You can also add other services like Watson or Cloudant too!
After setting it up, you can download the code, read the README, and get started coding in XCode or Android Studio.

We are currently working on a new PWA mobile app using the SAP Spartacus framework, and we would like to package and upload this new mobile app to the Google and Apple app stores. I've found online documentation for using Bubblewrap for deploying PWAs to the Google play store and PWABuilder for deploying PWAs to the Apple app store, but I have not found anything online specifically for Spartacus PWAs.
I have not yet attempted to deploy to either of these stores using either of the packages mentioned (Bubblewrap or PWABuilder), but I'm assuming from experience that the process for packaging and deploying a Spartacus PWA will be more complicated than a simple PWA.
Has anyone done this already and can share tips/tricks on how to make this happen? Is anyone aware of online resources to help make this happen?
I have an ionic app build on my system.
For now, I have been testing my app using Ionic DevAPP (which can be found on the App Store and Google Play).
Prerequisite to run an app on my mobile device using Ionic DevApp is, My app needs to be up and running using the command:
ionic serve
This option looks great when doing development.
But now, I have my app build and I want to share it with the testing team and PO who is located on shore.
I want to know is there any way or free platform where the users can run an app on their mobile devices directly without starting a dev server.
NOTES:
I know about Ionic dashboard, but it is not free when comes to sharing builds.
I don't want to upload my app on Play Store or Google Play.
Any help is recommended as I am really looking for options to share my app.
I use Diawi To share both apk and ipa, bypassing play/app stores.
Where to upload the definition file for a self hosted (managed) app in the Google Play console on a Google developer account?
I'm developing an app for a customer that uses an EMM (XenMobile) for managing their Android devices.
We are using Android Enterprise (former Android for Work) to create a device owner managed profile on the devices and publish apps using the managed Play store together with XenMobile.
The customer wants to keep the APK within their own premises (and on their own COSU devices) and not host apps at Google. According to Google, this is possible - Google calls it Self hosted private apps and also has articles describing everything but the actual publishing process (https://support.google.com/googleplay/work/answer/6145182?hl=en&ref_topic=6145152).
I have the developer account and the json definition file created from the EMM, but when I try to upload the json instead of the apk file to publish the app, I'm prompted to upload the apk file instead.
My question therefore is - Where am I supposed to upload the definition file?
BR Thomas
The owner of the developer account needs to be an admin of the enterprise in order to be able to publish a self-hosted app on Google Play. Therefore you will need to ask your customer to create a developer account using their admin account and upload the self-hosted app with this account.
Then here are the steps in the Google Play Console:
create a new app,
in "Pricing & distribution > Managed Google Play" select "Turn on advanced managed Google Play features",
and then select "Privately target this app to a list of organizations"
The app should now be targeted to one organization:
After that:
go to "App releases > Production track > Manage" and create a new release,
select "I am uploading a configuration for an APK hosted outside of Google Play",
upload your JSON file.
The interface should look like this:
Testing
If you want to test the app before sending it to your customer you can create a test organization using the Android Management Experience. Just make sure to use a different package name for the app since package names must be unique in Play.
We are building a responsive Web App. As it is responsive it has no .apk and .ipa files.
Can I use the AWS Device Farm Built in Explorer tests for my responsive Web App?
If Yes, please let me know how to configure it thru AWS Device Farm
Thanks

I don't believe so. The built-in explorer tests do a depth first search of the views in an Android app. Because we don't have an app and we're testing a website
, this option shouldn't be available to us. We haft to choose from the appium java/python client whilst using Device Farm.

Via the Google app engine Eclipse plugin
If I need to create a web app first, how do I convert the google web app to a play project?
If I need to create a play project first, how do I convert the play project to a google web app?
Via command line and gae-module for play
If I use the this command play gae:deploy --gae=C:/appengine-sdk I get Http connection timeouts. It is not my firewall, because I can deploy a hello world google web app via the google eclipse plugin.
I've tried all three methods, and I still can't deploy my play project to google app engine.
I don't know about the Google App Engine plugin, but i managed to get it working through the command line. Apparently the problem was that although I disabled my firewall, it was still running a process that blocked the deployment without prompting. Fixed that
