App Installer

If the App Installer option is available fSeries makes it possible to create an app that may be installed by the user to run on their device. Not all device will be capable but Windows desktop and Android devices, and possibly IOS devices can.

The best way to offer this facility is to add an "App Installer" Menu Member to your application start page menu. Alternatively you can provide users with a link to the App Installer (https://.../AppInstaller/[App Id or App Alias]). note that you can use either the App's Id number or its Alias to identify it.

The page will show your app's icon and a button to start the installation. There may also be a button in the browser's address bar which you can click to start the installation. Follow the instructions on screen. When completed, the page will will open in the newly installed app.

Note that if the user has already installed the app, the install button will not appear, instead a warning will be displayed about the status. There will be a “Open in App” button in the browser's address bar; the user may click this to be taken to the app, but they will then need to click the “Click here” link to get the the app itself.
