Mobile applications

Mobile application starter stores are accessed as an app directly installed on smart phones or tablets. They are typically installed onto a device using a storefront provided by the mobile device vendor. Mobile applications provide enhanced functionality over the mobile Web storefront by using device-specific features such as a smart phone's contact list.

The following storefronts are available by default on smart phone and tablet devices:

Madisons starter store

Mobile web storefront available on smart phone (MadisonsMobileEnhancements.sar) and tablet (MadisonsTablet.sar).

Mobile applications available for Android smart phones, and iOS smart phones and tablets.

Aurora starter store

Feature Pack 6 The Aurora mobile web storefront is available by default for smart phone (AuroraMobile.sar) and table (Aurora.sar) devices.

Feature Pack 7 or later Responsive Aurora starter store available on desktop, smart phone, and tablet (Aurora.sar). There are no longer separate SAR files to publish for each device class.

Mobile applications available for Android and iOS smart phones and tablets using the IBM Worklight mobile development platform.
