3 Administering MicroStrategy Mobile Mobile Design and Administration Guide To set up the Xcode projects 11 In the MicroStrategyMobile folder copied from the disk image, double-click MicroStrategyMobile.xcodeproj. The MicroStrategy Mobile project opens in Xcode. 12 Choose the MicroStrategyMobileIPhone or MicroStrategyMobileIPad scheme, as applicable. 13 Open the property list file for the scheme you are building the application for. The file names are Info_IPhone.plist or Info_IPad.plist for iPhone and iPad respectively. 14 Change the Bundle Identifier property to your organization’s Bundle Identifier. The Bundle Identifier is of the form com.YourCompanyName.YourApplicationName, and is part of the application ID you created in the iOS Provisioning Portal. 15 For the scheme you selected, in the Build Settings section, under Code Signing, ensure that your distribution provisioning profile is selected. To build the application for distribution 16 From the Build menu, select Build and Archive. An archived version of the application is built, with a .ipa extension. 17 Open Xcode’s Organizer window, select the archived application, and click Share Application. The Share Archived Application dialog opens. 18 Click Distribute for Enterprise. The archive is built, and you are prompted to enter the information for the application’s manifest file, which contains the information that users’ devices need to download the application. 19 Enter the information for the manifest file. In the URL field, enter the web address for the network location from which users can download the application. For example, http://YourNetworkLocation/ MicroStrategyMobile.ipa. Uploading and distributing the application 20 Upload the following files to your network location above: • The application archive. For example, MicroStrategyMobile.ipa. 126 Deploying and configuring the MicroStrategy Mobile application © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.

For example, manifest.plist. 21 To distribute the application, provide users with a URL to the manifest file, using the following syntax: itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http:// YourServerLocation/?manifest.plist You can provide this URL in an email, or by using a basic HTML page that users can connect to. Configuring MicroStrategy Mobile for iPhone or iPad Before a user can view reports and documents in MicroStrategy Mobile for iPhone/iPad, the application must be configured to communicate with Mobile Server and Intelligence Server. Manually configuring each device can be time-consuming and difficult. Instead, you can create a configuration, that is, an XML file containing mobile device configuration instructions, in Mobile Server. You can create a URL for a configuration and then email that URL to your mobile users. When a user opens the URL on her mobile device, the application is automatically configured using the settings in the configuration. A single configuration can configure devices to connect to multiple Mobile Servers. Users can manually connect to any available Mobile Server, if the configuration allows them to configure the application from the mobile device. For instructions on how to configure the application from the mobile device, see Configuring the application from the device, page 157. You can create and save multiple configurations. Each configuration can have its own login credentials, list of projects, and Home screen design. For example, you can create one configuration for regional sales managers, providing access to only those projects that report on sales data. You can then create another configuration for executives, which gives them access to all projects currently in production and also provides a Home screen with buttons for several high-level dashboards. User logins and passwords included with a configuration should be used only for demonstration purposes, as the configuration is not transmitted or stored securely. © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
