Hello All - wanted to check with you all on this just in case I'm missing something. I know how to format the project size to accommodate for iPhone or Android but what I need to know is how can I create a project that is destined to be an app that we will sell in the App Store and for Androids? Will I need to use another program (Swift, etc.) after it's published in Storyline? Should I bypass Storyline altogether and just use app development software (of which I am not familiar yet)? Thanks so much!
Wanted to thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my question
on E-Learning Heroes. It sounds like it would be best if I used a native
app such as Swift, to do the development as opposed to Storyline, right?
I had used PhoneGap once to turn HTML5-published Storyline content into an Android app (could have done it for iOS as well). See a blog post about it here: http://wp.me/p2BoUf-6Z Technically it works, but you'll have to content with the same limitations and 'hiccups' that you see when running HTML5 output in a mobile browser. I suggest you develop a test case and put it through its paces on as many devices as possible.
Hope I'm not bothering you with my questions. If you don't have the time
please don't worry. But you've piqued my curiosity...Is there a native
program that uses Swift languge to build the apps? I would much rather use
one of them then learn Swift from scratch.
I will definitely try the HTML5 output from SL like you recommended, but I
would be curious if there's a program that would be better than SL to use
and would allow for a little greater complexities.
Would you be interested in working with me to build the app (or a few apps
if the first one is successful)? Or maybe you have a network of developers
that might be interested.
No changes on our end to make creation of a course/project that can be used as a native app. I'm not sure if folks are still subscribed here, as the post is a bit older - but you could always use the "contact me" button on a ELH users' profile to reach out to them directly!
I know that other users have mentioned wanting to do this with their content, so perhaps you could reach out to those users to see if/how they've been successful with this.
Hi, is there an app for IOS and android, like there is the Articulate Mobile Player for the ipad? I need to send responsive elearning courses company wide that they can access via mobile, tablet and desktop. I know you can publish to format all these devices and email/send link to courses but I need the users to have them all grouped together in an app, not just emailed. Hoping this makes sense.
What version of Storyline are you using? With Storyline 3 or Storyline 360, we have an all new responsive player - take a look at the FAQs here.
Storyline 3, 360 and Storyline 2 can still all publish to include the Articulate Mobile player which is available in the Apple App store for iPads, and the Google Play store for Android devices, optimized for tablets. If you're using an iPhone, the content will default to showing in the HTML5 output in the Safari browser.
360. Yes I know I published to phone but want an app so all their courses are organized, is there a way to do that other than sending them the link via email? Want a library of courses on their phones/tablets etc
The Articulate Mobile player has a library function, but since you won't be able to access that on an iOS phone, perhaps there is a custom library you could set up on your own website or Learning Management System (LMS).
Let us know how it works out - I'm sure it's an answer others in the community may be curious about!
Yes, unfortunately our LMS doesn’t support responsive courseware. This is why why I was looking for an app for iOS. Going to be difficult to
roll out responsive courseware without a platform. We will have to look into alternative measures, maybe Allego? Anyone have any experience with this platform?
Is there any updates on this? I've had a few clients ask us to develop storyline courses that they want to be on their app for the Android and IOS. Is this something we should avoid?

Hi Mathew
Thank you, how can I create security certificates and provisioning profile for IOs?
Here is some basic info: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppStoreDistributionTutorial/Introduction/Introduction.html
Thank you I attached the first project that I want to add it to App store.
I am using PC not Mac so I cannot download Xcode to work on it.
Hi
Can anyone advise as to whether any updated information is available vis-à-vis this topic?
Thanks

Hi Max!
That's certainly out of our realm of support.
I know that other users have mentioned wanting to do this with their content, so perhaps you could reach out to those users to see if/how they've been successful with this.

Thanks Mike, can we manipulate app.min to prevent app from panning/zooming using script.?Any help is greatly appreciated.
