The challenge is now over. See our wrap-up blog.
Welcome to the SAP Build Apps Community Challenge, a set of small challenges to help you get to know SAP Build Apps a little better, whether you’re a beginner or experienced user.
The challenges so far:
If you do all the challenges – each taking the time of your lunch hour (but don’t skip eating lunch 🍜) – you will learn a lot:
For every one of the challenges, you will be asked to provide:
For these challenges, we will use the hashing service introduced by @qmacro (DJ Adams) for his API challenge back in August. The service lets you take a text string, hash it to a GUID so that we can tell if you were correct but prevent others from seeing the correct answer.
GOOD NEWS: In the skeleton app we will give you, we have taken care of the connection to the service, providing an easy way for you to provide your answer.
Let’s get started.
At the end, make sure you can open the SAP Build lobby.
Installing the app is simple – just search for SAP Build Apps Preview. But for more help watch this 2-minute video:
Make sure to give this app permission to use your device's camera.
REMINDER: With the trial, you will be on the US10 landscape and must log in on the preview app using Other login options.
Next, you will have some fun and make sure everything is connected, and get a little preview of some of the capabilities of SAP Build Apps.
If you want to review the basics of building apps with SAP Build Apps works, feel free to watch the SAP Build Apps playlist (new videos all the time).
Upload the project to SAP Build Apps and open it (you can import projects in the lobby).
Here, the secret phrase and your community ID were already entered (though you can always enter them manually).
The post with a screenshot should look something like this:
If you're looking for more to do and learn:
Share your innovation.
Feel free to look inside the app to see how we put it all together – how we made it so it will store your community ID, how you could have entered your community ID in the app instead of hard-coding it, how we created a circle with your image, how we played music, how we ran the hashing function – all without coding.

The app is not allowing me to take screenshot.🙁 I am on Andriod 13.
I will poke around with the app and try to learn some more.

I have the same problem on Android. I've seen a question mentioning that this is disabled on Android. I'm attaching the link in case it's helpful: link
Correct me if I'm wrong @Dan_Wroblewski .
Thanks and regards.

I also tried the camera and audio features to handle the bonus tasks and worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing these tips.

Clever approach to take photo of the screen from another mobile 🙂

We slightly revised the process so that for Android users you can run the app in the Web Preview and upload an existing image instead of taking a new image. Then take a screenshot of the web version.
I'M learning a lot from this challenge.

What does it mean?
Go to the Launch tab:
Why do I have to go to Launch tab in SAP Build, but then run the app in the SAP Build Apps Preview App on your device – not on your laptop?
The next further steps are really confusing, isn't?!
The more easy using AppGyver the more complicate using SAP Build & Co. to create a Mickey-mice-app.

For this challenge we wanted people to get used to native capabilities. But if you want to run on your laptop you can, that’s ok. Just on laptop you can’t access camera so you need to select an existing image.
Or you can just do part 1.
please make sure you have the latest skeleton app we provided.

Unfortunately, I still don't see that the hash is correct. Did you click the button with the secret phrase, and is your community ID (what appears for you in this post) entered correctly (I do see it in the screenshot correctly)

Hash: 251e03e4de499dcb01c2cd7e95569ec9d11f068847b37121874341e80aa6f435

What is that thing? 😉
The hash unfortunately does not seem correct. Can you do it again and make sure you have your community ID and the secret phrase entered correctly. You will have to click a button somewhere to get the phrase displayed and it will be entered automatically in the hashing UI.

@Dan_Wroblewski the image is of heart shape pillow. 🙂
