Kony Fabric console User Guide: Workflow of Kony SDKs

Kony SDKs

SDKs integrate Kony Fabric services with your client applications. You can use your preferred development language or platform to build your apps.

Before using Kony SDKs, Kony Fabric app must be published to an environment.

Note: Kony provides different client SDKs to connect applications to Kony Fabric services. The SDKs are available for Native iOS, Native Android, .NET, Cordova (PhoneGap), JavaScript, and the SDK built into the Kony Visualizer IDE.

Due to differences in the various platforms, the functionality varies for each client SDK. Please refer to the documentation of specific SDKs to view the features supported by each of them and how to use them.
