My team will make an application for business solution. We need a way for deployment because we have customers more than 5, but we want to use just one build for our app. And we have a problem, because we don't want to publish our app to appstore or playstore, we want to serve directly our customer's clients. And there is a handicap, because our customer's networks are restricted. We have searched for a lot of ways, but none of us can take us to the conclusion.
Can you guide us if anyone live in a similar situation?
Thank you,
Mert
Try this, use just one build for your app, upload and share it.

I work for a company that generates calendars for professionals and we'd like our users to synchronize their calendar on their phone for simplicity's sake. We initially had an ICS file, but we started hitting issues out of our control and we're looking to switch to a full CalDav support.
However, the steps necessary to create a CalDav account can be a bit tedious
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfPtH8fOLfw ) especially since in our mobile app, we already have an authentified user, we were wondering if there was any way we could do the setup for the user, so he/she doesn't have to switch back and forth to copy/paste the CalDav Account Credentials.
Surprisingly, we've found nothing. No NPM package, no way to simplify this. We did found a way to generate a configuration profile with the data, but we were told to steer clear this idea since some of our customers may be using a company-provided phone and it was possible to prevent any sort of installation through configuration profiles.
Anyone has an idea on how we can make it simple for our users and give them the best UX as possible ?
Thanks :)
I am so curious about how companies make their own marketplace within an application? I am trying to achieve a marketplace where individuals can sell products on a mobile application. So when a user logs into the app they are met with a live feed of various products. Something similar to the GOAT app, eBay, or Etsy. Usually, I know where to start, however, I have never dealt with an idea so complex. I know it can be done because it has been done multiple times over. However, I am asking if someone could provide me with some guidance. I did some Googling but came out empty-handed. Is there a video tutorial or a step-by-step guide on something like this? I also do not mind buying a course if I can achieve this effect!
Currently, what I have now are three pages! A working signup and login screen with a firebase backend that authenticates a user's email and password. It leads to my home page which is very basic. Just a header with tab navigation! I know it is very barebones... however I came here to see if I can be provided with some steps from here. Maybe even a proper technology stack.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Here are some examples of apps with live marketplaces:

Hey research marketplaces with ready app react-native template like this template e-commerce . But you need some knowledge about react-native or you can ask a freelancers.
Anyone having trouble building API's with the new Kimono Desktop app. When I click create API the browser just stays on create API screen loading but nothing happens.
I even tried building an API that is the same as one I built when Kimono was still in business and no luck.
My existing api's still run and pull data fine.
Working just fine here.
Just a shot in the blue...did you install the new extension specifically for the desktop app? The old one can't work anymore since Kimono disabled the online service.
You can't build new APIs I think - only existing ones. :( Said something like it was not the acquiring company's policy to provide this publiclu available service but since they did not know how many businesses depended on their APIs they decided to allow existing APis to run.
You can also use their software for replace the online API. But it's an abandonware.
It's working great but on some website I can create new API because of an error.
I just find a possible (free) product that can replace Kimono : Datascraping.co.
They will include an REST FULL API within few days / weeks, as they said here.
It's a good software, but comparing to Kimono Desktop it's a little much more complicated.
Kimono got bought out and it's not working anymore.
Import.io is good but it kinda expensive for me. I've tried the free trial before but see the price starts from $249, so... https://www.import.io/standard-plans/
I don't have any progamming skills so I know very little about some web scraping frameworks like Scrapy.
You may want to look at this new web scraping software called Octoparse.
In case you want to know, here is the link:http://www.octoparse.com/
It takes a little time to begin. But they have rich tutorials on the website. Plus it doesn't require programming skills.
They provide cloud-based scraping service and API access.
You can use it to create API but you have to pay for the service. Free version doesn't have the API and cloud service.
I've been using it for 2 month with the Standard plan $89, which a lot cheaper than import.io. So far so good.
Hope it would be helpful for you.
I need to ask my clients to send me the udid of their iOS devices in order to add them to an adhoc distribution profile. The main problem is that they are used to iOS but not much to computers. Anyway, it would be a pain for me to explain them how to install iTunes (or even Xcode) to get the udid. Most of the tutorials which describe the iTunes process are in english, I don't want to loose time to translate one of them. And even if I do it, I fear that they will not appreciate loosing their time following it. Any suggestion ?
I use a web online tool at http://www.easy-udid.com to get my customers UDID, I think it's the easiest way for them.
Also you can use service http://udid.io
It is easier because you don't need to ask your clients to write your email address. You just send them link “http://get.udid.io/?mail=your#mail.com” and they will need only 5 taps to send UDID on "your#mail.com"
This is a problem that every developer will face when building their apps: how to contact the reviewer of your app to notify them of an update, new release, help topics, etc?
Some things I am thinking:
Include an RSS feed in your app which you can update to notify the users of the app.
Include a twitter feed regarding your app. How to go about this?
Include a way for the users to subscribe to a mailing list. This way, I can send a mass-email to the users who opted-in? Any suggestions here?
Any other ways that you think this can/should be done? Any existing solutions you can point me to will be great. Thanks in advance.
One way, for contacting a specific user who created a review of an application is to go to Zune Social (at http://social.zune.net/home) and create a new message. You can then enter the Zune Tag of the user who created a review.
Personally, I'd try to do all three - have a web page/site, with an RSS feed, and a subscription link (so they can subscribe to the RSS feed via email) and then post any updates to your twitter account as well.
You can't really force a user to do any of these, but having the options available, and linked from inside your app on the about page is probably good practise.
You could also include some kind of "Update Available" feature inside the application. Try to make this as unobtrusive as possible obviously. Obviously if they've still got the app installed they'll get an update notification from the marketplace anyway.

Besides the suggestions made by samjudson, I'll also recommend having a support-page with a direct option to send a email to you. Here's a example of a support-page from one of my applications. I've received lot of emails with suggestions for improvements, or complains about bugs. And since it's by email, it gives you the option to respond directly to people.
Another thing about reviews. Don't take them to serious. Most people only rate negatively (since humans like to complain), and by such a lot of reviews are often misinformed, outdated, or the users just been plain ignorant.
