Developing an iOS Application

Generate Object API code for the iOS platform, develop a universal iOS device application with code, and test its functionality. The device application communicates with the database MBOs that are deployed to Unwired Server.

Prerequisites
Complete these tasks:
  1. Install Sybase Mobile SDK and Runtime as indicated in Getting Started with Unwired Platform.
  2. Create the mobile business objects (MBOs) that you deploy to Unwired Server using one of these methods:
    • Complete Tutorial: Mobile Business Object Development, which provides the foundation tasks for this tutorial.
    • Download and import the completed example project if you want to bypass performing the MBO tutorial. The associated example project is available on SAP® SDN: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-8803
  3. Open the SUP101 mobile application project. In WorkSpace Navigator, right-click the SUP101 folder and select Open in Diagram Editor.
  4. Be sure you are using the Advanced developer profile.
Task

  2. Setting Up an iOS Client Application in Xcode
    Set up an iOS client application in the Xcode IDE.
  3. Registering the Application Connection in Sybase Control Center
    Register the iPhone Simulator in Sybase Control Center.
  4. Viewing the CallbackHandler File
    In Xcode, view and understand the CallBackHandler file.
  5. Creating the User Interface
    Use Interface Builder to create and configure the user interface for the SUP101 application.
  6. Deploying the Device Application
    Deploy the SUP101 application to the iPhone simulator for testing.
