Creating Apps

Post by Devonnije »

Hi - I'm a newbie.

Looking at SB to create an app (Apple and Google) to control remote electronic equipment.

The App and Remote Equipment linked over MQTT. App therefore is an MQTT client, and needs to subscribe and publish such that data on the equipment can be inspected and modified by the App - using a 'normal' touchscreen user interface to display lists, open input boxes and the like.

My question - Is SB likely to allow me to be able to do this, and (crucially) publish my apps in the usual online stores - or at least in a manner than allows users to install them by visiting a webpage?

Also - Can anyone point me at a published phone app (any purpose) that's been generated with SB?

TIA

Hi,


Thanks for the reply.

We may now bypass MQTT and TCP direct to the remote device using our own protocol, and a DDNS service to track & resolve the remote IP.


Cheers!
