Developing Applications in the Xcode IDE

After you import Unwired WorkSpace projects (mobile application) and associated libraries into the iOS development environment, use the iOS Client Object API to create or customize your device applications.

• Generating HeaderDoc from Generated Code
  Once you have generated Objective-C code for your mobile business objects, you can generate HeaderDoc (HTML reference information) on the Mac from the generated code. HeaderDoc provides reference information for the MBOs you have designed. The HeaderDoc will help you to programmatically bind your device application to the generated code.
• Configuring an Application to Synchronize and Retrieve MBO Data
  To configure an application to synchronize and retrieve MBO data you must start the client engine, configure the physical device settings, listen for messages from the server, and subscribe to a package.
• Managing the Background State
  To allow your application to continue to safely run when it goes into the background, you must implement code in its AppDelegate class to ensure that the connection to the server shuts down gracefully when going into the background, and starts up when the application becomes active again.
• Referencing the iOS Client Object API
  Here is an example application that references the Client Object API generated for a mobile application project in the Eclipse environment.
• Localizing an iOS Application
  In iOS, you use Interface Builder, which is part of Xcode, to define and layout controls in a view of the user interface. These descriptions are stored in Xcode Interface Builder (XIB) files. Once you have the English version of the layout defined you will need to create an XIB file for each language you want to support in your user interface.
• Preparing Applications for Deployment to the Enterprise
  After you have created your client application, you must sign your application with a certificate from Apple, and deploy it to your enterprise.
• Apple Push Notification Service Configuration
  The Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) notifies users when information on a server is ready to be downloaded.
