Custom Shell plugin in Mobile start not visible

[thomas-bruckner]

I have developed a simple shell plugin to open an app using semantic/action. Its is visible in WZ standard edition Desktop browser and works as expected, but not in mobile device. is it limitation or do I miss any configuration ?

Component.js

 oRenderer.addHeaderEndItem({

                        icon: "sap-icon://manager",

                        tooltip: "My Substitutes",

                        target: "#ZMANAGE-create"

                    }, true, false);

Manifest

  "hideLauncher": true,

  "semanticObject": "Shell",

  "action": "plugin"

....

"sap.flp": {

    "type": "plugin"

  },

.....

 "deviceTypes": {

      "desktop": true,

      "tablet": true,

      "phone": true

    }

Desktop:

 Mobile Device (Mobile Start app)

Any pointers would help

Thanks,

Vijay

Dear @jaivijay,

SAP Mobile Start is a mobile native app, whereas shell plugins added to SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition are based on the web technology SAP UI5. Shell plugins won't appear on the native screens of SAP Mobile Start – your expectation that it would appear and work in the mobile app is not matching the supported features by SAP Mobile Start.

Alternatives you may have to offer a navigation to the configured IBN to your endusers:
As an enduser you may use the "Favorites" functionality of SAP Mobile Start to pin apps that are relevant to you to the "Start" tab. As an admin you may instead create an app tile in SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition Site Manager in order to put it onto the Site (e.g. using "Groups") and make it visible on the "Apps" tab of Mobile Start to all the users in possession of the matching role. Please note that by this second approach the app would also be visible in the web as tile on the Site.
