SAP Application for Android/IOS Devices

[#1]

Hello All,

I would like to know the opinion from Community members on building Fiori app for Android/IOS Devices. 

So far, explored the concepts of SAP Mobile Services with SAP Build(MDK Application) and SAP Business Application Studio from #https://developers.sap.com/mission.mobile-dev-kit-get-started.html

SAP Mobile Start - #https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/mobile-start-access-launchpad-site.html

Any other suggestions on building native apps using SAPUI5 library?

Thanks,

Muthu.

To develop a native mobile application using SAP mobile technologies with the SAP Fiori experience, SAP provides the following options:

• Mobile Devleopment Kit (MDK)
• SAP BTP SDK for iOS
• SAP BTP SDK for Android

Depending on your business requirements and technical/programming skills, you can choose the option that best fits your needs. All these are part of the SAP Mobile Services tooling and support enterprise-grade functionalities with Fiori UX. 
I recommend reviewing the decision guidance for creation custom native mobile applications.  

Additional reference:

• Mobile services documentation

Hello Muthu,

In a recent client project, I developed several SAPUI5 web applications designed for both PC and mobile usage (notably on Zebra devices). These applications were designed from the outset to work across both types of devices, with particular attention paid to UX and responsiveness.

The approach was to design, develop, and test each feature on both PC and mobile throughout the development cycle, to ensure a smooth and tailored user experience regardless of screen size or device type.

User feedback was very positive, especially regarding ease of use, quick adoption, and consistency across platforms. Choosing a web application also made deployment and maintenance easier, while allowing for scalability.

Depending on the need for native features (offline access, device sensors, etc.), this approach can be a viable alternative to MDK solutions or native applications.
