A:

As many as you want, iBuildApp supports multiple app management. This means you can create specialized apps for specific purposes then make real-time changes to any of them from one centralized location.

A:

Yes, the iBuildApp online control panel allows you to make real-time, instant changes to your application – even after it’s published and in use. However if you change the template it will go through the App Store approval first. End users will see changes the next time your app is launched on their device.

A:

NO, you can change the content in your application real-time using the Content Management System from web-interface. Just log into your control panel and update the app. You can also change your color scheme and modify the layout, fonts, colors, headers, etc. Once you save your application the changes are life. However, changing the name of your application, loading image, and icon require new submission to App Store.

A:

At any time after publishing an application on Android Market, you can upload and publish an update to the same application package. When you publish an update to an application, users who have already installed the application may receive a notification that an update is available for the application. They can then choose to update the application to the latest version.

On the Publishing page, enter the version number you’d like to appear with your app build on the app store (Android Market or Amazon).

Examples: 1, 1.0, 1.1.2, 2.0

The build version number identifies a particular build of the application. The format of the build version string is largely up to you though it should be larger than the previous version and you should still make it one or more dot-separated integers.

We tend to just use a single integer (1, 2, 3, 4…) but you can also use 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc. if you have need for it.

QR or Quick Response Codes are a type of two-dimensional barcode that can be read using smartphones, tablets and dedicated QR reading devices.

QR Code is just an image that contains encoded information – it may contain any URL, text, email address, phone number and more. QR reading software will automatically detect a QR code and launch an application based on it’s type: a browser for encoded URL, text viewer for a text, initiate a phone call for encoded phone number.

You can put your QR code anywhere: on billboards, walls, products packaging or labels, even on your website.

You can generate QR Codes using one of 2D barcode generator services. Some of them are listed below:

• https://qrcode.littleidiot.be/
• https://www.qurify.com/
• https://www.unitaglive.com/qrcode
• https://quikqr.com/
• https://qrcode.kaywa.com/
• https://zxing.appspot.com/generator/
• https://delivr.com/QR-Code-Generator

Launch the barcode scanner module in your app.

The module immediately opens up the phone’s camera and takes you to a screen that allows for the scanning of barcodes:

The scanner will automatically detect which type of code it is scanning and, upon completion of the scan, it will display the content so you can view the scanned URL/text/product code before the module launches the phone’s browser:

You may view the scanned content in a web browser: it will search for scanned text on the web or open a website for scanned URL:

The module offers sharing feature that allows users to share scanned content via SMS or email:

We support the following video formats:

• mpeg4 .H264 (iPhone and iPad);
• mpeg4.H263 (Android devices);
• 3gp;

You may also use your videos hosted on YouTube and Vimeo servers.

How can I embed video files into my app?

If you have your video hosted on external server (Vimeo, YouTube, or any other hosting server), add a link for that video file.

• Make sure that you files are in mpeg4.H264 (iphone), mpeg4.H263 (android) or 3gp format. Your files should have the “.mp4” or “.3gp” extension. If you do not know how to check your files extension, then you should refer to your OS documentation.
• If your file isn’t an mpeg4.H264 (iphone), mpeg4.H263 (android) or 3gp then you need to convert it to mpeg4.H264 (iphone), mpeg4.H263 (android) or 3gp . There are plenty of special software and online services for converting video files from one format to another.
  https://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/ is an example of the software.
  https://www.online-convert.com/ is an example of the online service.
• Host your file on your site, if you’ve got one, or you can use any file hosting service.
  There is no matter where you store your video files on your site or with the help of a hosting service, while it’s available directly. You can’t store your files on a server with a restricted access (for example the server demands login and pass to access the files). In this case you should open access to your files (or refer to the support of the service, if you do not know how to do that) or, if that’s impossible, change the hosting server.
  If you use a hosting service then you should chose the one that provides the direct access to your files. These are the examples of file hosting services:
  https://www.upload-mp3.com/
  https://www.webfilehost.com/
• Copy the direct link on your file. To embed your files into your app you’ve got to provide a direct link on your video files on your hosting server or on your site. The term “direct link” means that the link you provide should point on you file directly. Your link should look like the following:
  https://www. your_site_name/you_folder/file_name.mp3
• Embed the copied link to your app:
  • Create a “Video stream” type page in your app.
  • Click the “Add” button to create a new item:
  • In the popup window fill the “URL” field with the link you’ve copied on youtube.com and click the “Save” button

NOTE: you can add only one video from vimeo.com.

I’ve got my videos under my socialnet account, can I use that?

Unfortunately you can not use a video created for socialnet.

I’ve got an internet page with my videos, I past the address of the page and it says “Invalid URL”, why can’t I use my page?

To embed video to your app you’ve got to provide a direct link to an “.mp4” or “.3gp” file, youtube link or vimeo code.

If you copy the link from the address bar of your browser then you won’t get a direct link to a media file, playlist or streaming server. You’ll get the link on your webpage.

If you do not know how to obtain a proper link you should refer to the support team of the service you use.

I’m sure that I use a proper link to embed the video, but it still doesn’t work.

If you are sure, that you use a proper link then check the following:

• Your media is still available on the Internet and you can access it vie player or browser
• Your media file isn’t too big. It takes time to buffer your media files.

I’ve got a player (Flash player) on my page can I use that in my app?

No, you can not use a flash player in your app.
