Developing Kapsel Applications

Once your application is developed, create a Cordova project and install the Kapsel plugins.

1. Setting Up the Development Environment
   To build Kapsel applications, you must first set up your development environment, which includes installing both SAP Mobile Platform Server, and the SAP Mobile Platform SDK.
2. Configuring the Application in the Management Cockpit
   Configure the application settings in the Management Cockpit. These settings enable you to monitor and manage your applications.
3. Creating an Apache Cordova Project
   To create projects for use with Kapsel, use the Cordova command line tool.
4. Kapsel Plugins
   Developers use one or more Kapsel plugins in Cordova applications to add SAP Mobile Platform awareness and capabilities to the application. The plugins that you use vary depending on your application’s requirements. As they are standard Cordova plugins, manage Kapsel plugins in a Cordova project using the standard Cordova CLI plugin commands.
5. Running and Testing Kapsel Applications
   Test your Cordova project by opening it in its respective development environment (Eclipse with Android plugins or Xcode), then run it in the corresponding emulator (Android) or simulator (iOS),
6. Package and Deploy Kapsel Applications
   Use the Android IDE or Xcode to package the Kapsel app, then use the Management Cockpit to upload the app to the server.
