Migrate OData Applications to REST API in 2.2 SP03

Migrate messaging-based (iMO) OData applications to REST API based, to take advantage of the REST services capabilities available in 2.2 SP03. This enables you to run mobile applications on-premise and in the cloud.

1. In your development environment, modify the messaging-based (iMO) application logic to use REST-based services.
   Some areas you may need to address:

   • Registration
   • Settings exchange
   • Request response
   • End-to-end tracing
   • Native push notifications
   • For the cloud, the application must include CAPTCHA support

   For API information for all of the above, which are different for the REST SDK, see Developer Guide: OData SDK:

   • Development Task Flow Using REST SDK (HTTP Channel) - iOS section
   • Development Task Flow Using REST SDK (HTTP Channel) - Android section

   For new API information, see OData SDK API Changes in Version 2.2.

2. Recompile the application.
3. Test the application in a device simulator or emulator, and in the test environment (both on-premise and cloud configurations). Make modifications as needed.
