Hi, I'm happy to announce that the XWiki Mobile Application has made it to the Apple App Store. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xwiki-mobile/id655769489?l=fr&ls=1&… It requires XWiki Platform 4.x to function (also works with XWiki SAS' XWiki Cloud instances). More information as well as an Android package is available at: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/XWikiMobile For developers more detailed information about the project are available here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/MobileClient and the code is published on GitHub: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-mobile-morpho Any bugs can be reported in the XWiki Morpho bug tracker: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XMMORPHO We need a bit more work to get the Android version ready for Google Play. We have Buddhi, our Google Summer of Code student who will work on this. If there are testers to try it on different Android OS versions and devices you are welcome to help us.

Very interesting. A few "fresh eyes" comments: - you're not using standard UI elements of the iOS set except for the main menu. That makes it much difficult to follow: - the back button - the font is a bit small (I'm on iPad mini) - the text-fields are small - the URL input and username input should deactivate spell suggestion if possible - I had inserted myDomain/xwiki as URL and things were declared successful until I found from the log that it was querying /xwiki/xwiki. I think you may want to "tolerate" the extra /xwiki (or warn or...) - instead of "open" i would write "open in Safari" Finally, could you list the features that are supposed to run? E.g. is editing supposed to work? forms? notifications? And a curiosity question: will you describe a workflow to create derivative apps? thank you Ludovic.

It's hybrid HTML so you are limited in terms of UI elements. I don't think it's that bad though but work is needed to make good elements.

- the back button - the font is a bit small (I'm on iPad mini) - the text-fields are small - the URL input and username input should deactivate spell suggestion if possible - I had inserted myDomain/xwiki as URL and things were declared successful until I found from the log that it was querying /xwiki/xwiki. I think you may want to "tolerate" the extra /xwiki (or warn or...) - instead of "open" i would write "open in Safari"

Please report Jira issues :)

...

Finally, could you list the features that are supposed to run? E.g. is editing supposed to work? forms? notifications?

See on the dev wiki. http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/MobileClient I have notifications working on my own device/account for our intranet, but it's complicated to release. It requires an intermediary server or a server setup + scalability is an issue. See the thread on activity stream experiment to see the notifications that you would get every 5 minutes if there are changes.

...

And a curiosity question: will you describe a workflow to create derivative apps?

That would require some training/documentation. There is a little here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/MobileClient particularly how to add menus from code that is actually in your wiki. I'm pretty happy about that feature, because it allows to add to the application specifically for one xwiki instance. Creating derivative apps could boil down to the same as the "screen" notion described there is the same for all screens in the application. Ludovic
