Deploy the mobile client in Application Center

Deploy the different versions of the client application to Application Center.

The Windows 8 mobile client is not intended to be deployed in Application Center for later distribution. We can choose to distribute the Windows 8 mobile client either by providing users with the client .exe executable file and dynamic link library .dll files directly packaged in an archive, or by creating an executable installer for the Windows 8 mobile client.

The Android, iOS, and Windows Phone versions of the mobile client must be deployed to the Application Center. To do so, we must upload the Android application package (.apk) files, iOS application (.ipa) files, and Windows Phone application (.xap) files, Web directory archive (.zip) files to the Application Center.

Follow the steps described in Add a mobile application to add the mobile client application for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. Make sure that you select the Installer application property to indicate that the application is an installer. Selecting this property enables mobile device users to install the mobile client application easily over the air. To install the mobile client, see the related task that corresponds to the version of the mobile client app determined by the operating system.
