Get started with the mobile platform
Important
The finance and operations (Dynamics 365) mobile app and platform are no longer supported. The platform components supporting the mobile app will be removed in a future update. The mobile app has also been removed from app stores. Previously installed instances of the app will continue to work. For more information, see Removed or deprecated platform features.
After you acquire a development environment, complete the following procedures to get started with development.
Get the Fleet Management mobile forms
We have created new, purpose-built forms in the Fleet Management module. These forms are used specifically for the mobile app and aren't meant to be used through the web client.
- Download the file that contains the Fleet Management project (.axpp file).
- Extract the contents of the zip file to a temporary location on the development computer.
- Import the project (.axpp) file by using Microsoft Visual Studio (click Finance and operations > Import Project).
- After you've imported the project file, build the project or module.
Get the sample workspace
We provide a sample workspace for Reservation management. This workspace is based on the Fleet Management module.
- Download the file that contains the sample workspace (.xml file).
- Sign in to your non-production client. (You must sign in as an administrator.)
- In the address bar, add &mode=mobile to the end of the URL, and then press Enter.
- In the client, go to Settings > Mobile app. The mobile app designer will appear docked next to the client.
- Click the Overflow button (…), and then click Import.
- Click the Browse button that appears at the bottom of the page.
- In the file selection dialog box that appears, select one of the XML files that you previously extracted from the zip file.
- After the app has been loaded into the mobile app designer, click Done at the bottom of the page.
- Click Publish workspace.
