Run the Mobile App

To run the Events mobile app, you need to setup and publish both the Visualizer app and the Kony Fabric app. Once the apps are published, you can preview the Events app using Kony Visualizer App Viewer. In this section we will guide through the steps to accomplish the set up, publish and preview the app.

Set up the Visualizer Project

To use the map and push notification services, you need to configure Google account and Engagement Service, and then provide the required details in the Visualizer Project.

Set up the Fabric App

You need to configure Identity service for the app login and the Engagement service for push notifications to set up the Kony Fabric app. This app comes packaged with sample data. You need to upload the same to Kony Fabric before running the app.

Publish and Preview the App

Once you upload the sample data to the Object Services, you need to publish the Kony Fabric app to a run-time environment. The client app accesses the data from the run-time environment. After publishing you can preview the app in Kony Visualizer App Viewer.

Once you publish the Kony Fabric app, navigate back to Visualizer and make the client app ready for preview. Use the Kony Visualizer App Viewer mobile app to view the published client app.

You now need to publish the application to Kony Cloud to access and view it on App Viewer. This operation reduces the need to build the app multiple times.

Run the Desktop Web App

To run the Desktop Web app, you need to set up the Kony Fabric app, configure Box account and Google account, and then provide the required details to the Kony Fabric app. You must now build and publish the Visualizer app to render the Desktop Web app on a browser.

Set up the Fabric App

You need to configure the user store for gaining access to the Admin Console, Box account for image gallery component and Google account for Google Map services.

Build the Visualizer App

Once you complete all the set up, you need to build the app to render the desktop web app on a browser.

Build the Events Progressive Web App (PWA)

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is an application that feels like a native app, but is available over Web browsers. Users can access a Progressive Web App via any Web browser on a mobile device. The app is responsive and works even when the device is offline or when the device has limited network speed.

Following up closely on the Responsive Web design as part of Kony Visualizer V8 release, Kony Visualizer SP3 GA release provides you with the ability to create a Progressive Web App.

The Events app contains pre-configured PWA settings.

For more information regarding Progressive Web App refer Progressive Web App documentation.

Note: Progressive Web App feature is only available for Events app 1.1.1 and later.

Publishing the Visualizer App

Once the app is built, you need to publish the app to Kony Fabric.

Note: We will now walk you through Kony App platform capabilities and Events app feature coverage using few scenarios.
