Running the mobile application in Appeon Workspace

Now that you have successfully deployed the application, you are ready to run the application on a supported mobile device with Appeon Workspace installed.

  1. Install Appeon Workspace (on an Android device for example).

    Step 1: Make sure your Android device can connect to PowerServer.

    Step 2: Enable the Unknown resources option (in Settings > Security) on the Android device so you can install apps that are not downloaded from Google Play.

    Step 3: Visit the Appeon Workspace download center that is posted on PowerServer (http://server_domain:80/AWS), and then click the download button.

  2. Configure the network connection of the mobile device.

    Make sure that the Windows PC and the mobile device are connected to the same Wi-Fi router.

  4. Tap the New icon () to the left of the title bar.

  5. In the App URL text box, enter the application URL for the tutorial application in this format: http://server_domain/appname. For example, if your IIS domain is www.abc.com and you specified tutorial in the PowerServer Toolkit configuration as the Web folder name then the URL would be http://www.abc.com/tutorial/.

  6. Tap the Test Connection button to test the server connections. If successful please proceed to Step 7, otherwise please enter the correct URL.

  7. Tap the Back icon () on the title bar to save the information and return to the main screen of the Appeon Workspace.
