Applications

Applications List

The Applications page displays the applications available on GigaFox, the application's OS (iOS or Android), version, and when the application was last updated.

Additional application details can be displayed for each application, including identifier, filename, file size, provision expiration, Signing Certificate, Signing Certificate expiration, and minimum OS version.

To add or remove an application detail:

  1. On the top right, click the cog button.
  2. Enable the checkbox next to the application detail to display on the applications list.

Applications Access

Application Access allows the uploader of the application to determine which user roles can access the application and any new uploaded instance.

GigaFox admins will have access to all uploaded applications, but any other user must meet one of the following settings:

  1. All users: Available to all GigaFox users.
  2. Uploaders only: Only visible to the user(s) who uploaded the application. If multiple users upload the same application, access will be available to each user.
  3. Only users with same role(s) as uploader: Any GigaFox user that shares at least one role with the uploader.

Admins can set the default Application Access for the system from the System tab.

  • Under User Settings, select the default application for all applications uploaded after the setting change.

Upload an Application

Applications can be uploaded to GigaFox from the Applications main page.

To upload an application to GigaFox from Applications:

  1. On the Applications main page click Upload Application.

Multiple Application Builds

If an application has more than one build available on GigaFox, a counter icon will display the total number of builds available. The counter will increment when an application build is uploaded to GigaFox.

Generated Builds

Generated builds are application builds that have been created by GigaFox, e.g. when a device is resigned to match an available provisioning profile. Generated builds keep the same version number of the application that it was generated from.

Generated builds are available on the application's details page when Show Generated Builds is enabled.
