- Navigate to the umobile-ui/config directory.
- Open the config.json file in an editor of your choice.
Set the external property to the path of your root project's www file directory. See the below code snippet for an example. The external property tells the build process where we want to push production-ready code. In this instance, we are telling it to place our production-ready code in the www container provided by the PhoneGap code base. Note: It is important to point out that while we have the capability to push production-ready code to an external source, we do not have the ability to clean or remove previously pushed code that lives outside of the umobile-ui directory. This is a limitation of the grunt libraries being leveraged on this project. Future updates to this code base could improve this functionality.
Code Block { "port": 5000, "environment": "web", "auth": "mock", "mode": "dev", "less": { "dest": "./src/css", "src": "./src/less", "prefix": "/css", "debug": true }, "external": "../../www" }
Run the Build
- In a Terminal window, navigate to the umobile-ui directory.
Execute the below command in the Terminal window.
Code Block grunt prod --environment=ios --auth=local
The above command starts the build process for the uMobile source code. The build process configures the uMobile source code with the necessary dependencies needed to run in a given environment. Currently, the uMobile project supports Android, iOS and Web platforms. Once the build completes a www directory will be added to the umobile-ui directory. The www directory houses the production-ready code base to be used with the PhoneGap wrapper. Please see the documentation on the uMobile HTML5 build for more information on configuring the build script.
Code Block grunt prod --environment=ios --auth=local
Push Once built, execute the below command to push the built code to the PhoneGap www directory.
...Code Block grunt push.prod
- Your project directory should like similar to below graphic:
Creating the Project
- Navigate to umobile-ui/config/js.
- uMobile currently supports three different authentication strategies: CAS, Local & Mock.
- Each strategy has a cooresponding configuration file under the umobile-ui/config/js directory (i.e., cas.js, local.js and mock.js).
- Choose one of the three authentication strategies. For this documentation, we will use cas.js.
- Open cas.js.
- Set config.uMobileServerUrl to http://localhost:8080.
- Set config.loginFn to casLogin.
- Note: There are bugs with the current login functionality. Only view the portal using the guest layout. This is being addressed.
- Set config.uMobileServerUrl to http://localhost:8080.
Run the build process for the uMobile source code. The build process configures the uMobile source code with the necessary dependencies needed to run in a given environment. Currently, the uMobile project supports Android, iOS and Web platforms. Once the build completes a www directory will be added to the umobile-ui directory. The www directory houses the production ready code base to be used with the PhoneGap wrapper. Please see the documentation on the uMobile HTML5 build for more information on configuring the build script.
- Drag the production-ready www directory from your finder window to the XCode uMobile project. When done for the first time, XCode will ask you to create a workspace before including the www directory. For the purpose of this project, we created a umobile workspace.
- Choose options for adding the www directory to the project.
- Configure cordova.plist.
- In XCode, under the Project Navigator, navigate to uMobile > Supporting Files > Cordova.plist.
- Under the Root Key:
- Set OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView to Yes.
- Under the ExternalHosts Key:
- Add the hostname, any authentication servers and any other servers hosting uMobile resources.
- If you're working with the uMobile quickstart, you can just add localhost.
- Under the Plugin Key:
- Plugin: SesssionTracking
- Type: String
- Value: SessionTracking
- Add SessionTracking Plugin files into the Plugins folder:
- Download MainViewController.m
- Navigate to uMobile > Classes > MainViewController.m.
- Replace MainViewController with the downloaded version.
- Set the scheme at the top of the project to iPhone 6.1 Simulator and run the project!
