Downloading a mobile app in a binary file

After you build a custom mobile app in Designer Studio, you have an option to download the app binary file that contains the packaged, branded app.

On a desktop or laptop computer:

In Designer Studio, click the name of your Pega 7 Platform application and click Open Mobile Apps.
Click a custom or an SDK mobile app icon.
Click the General tab.
Click the Android or iOS tab.
Right-click and copy the download link.
Send the link in email or distribute otherwise.

On a mobile device:

Tap the link on the publish banner to initiate a download to the mobile device. Make sure that the Publish to users via smart app banner check box is enabled for this app.
After the download finishes, upload the app onto a distribution mechanism that is separate from AMP Manager.

Note: Unique download links are generated for the iOS and Android app builds. Do not share a specific download link across different platforms.
