Deploy a mobile app package for testing

Follow this procedure to move your package to a connected device or emulator.

Before you begin

This procedure assumes you have packaged an app.

If you are deploying an application generated by the Business Application Modeler (BAM), you must ensure that you include all necessary files. See Packaging for a BAM application for more information.

  1. If deploying to a device, plug the device into a USB port.
    If necessary, update the drivers for your device.
    For Android™, you can check that your computer recognizes your device by selecting Tools > Android Tools > List Devices. See Configure for Genero Mobile for full configuration information.
  2. In Genero Studio, select the correct Genero configuration.
    For example, select Android for Android devices.
  3. Right-click on the package in your project and select Deploy.
    The Deploy action executes the commands in the Deploy rule for the platform specified for the package node. Progress of the deploy action appears in the output panel.

    You can test this with the OfficeStoreMobile project. Open the project and deploy the corresponding package in the Packages group.
