Firstly thank you for looking and sorry if i go on a bit.

I am trying to build a system of screens with various select lists(multiple and non multiple) that once filled out will display onscreen a summary contract much like a shopping basket on an online store. The summary screen would display the list of selected items and a value imputed in property fields of each item in the list(value could be inputed by a database as well if easier). I do not require the app to have an internet connection or the summary screen data to be used for actually processing orders. I wish to use this as an interactive sales tool for storefront staff who each will have an iPad with the app installed on it. I do not want this app available through the app store. My questions in this scenario then are:

1. What do i need to do in terms of registration as an apple developer and getting the app distributed? I have been trying to understand how mobi-one works and the long term costs and can’t seem to find a clear answer. I’ve seen info saying that hosted apps only last for 50 days and have a 5mb size limit plus apple web development liscences cost around $100. Is this true for an app completely contained on a local device and is it even possible to have a purely locally contained app? I don’t mind getting mobi-one liscences for each of the front end users.

2. In terms of technically creating the end contract summary screen can this be done via a series of forms or will custom java script cues be required? I don’t mind learning the java script but assume forms would be easier and cleaner.

3. Do you know when the form development guide will be completed as i have found forms very confusing. And have yet to be able to get one to work as in your guides.

I would like to say i have found the design interface to be simple yet intuitive and powerful, generally an excellent piece of software.

I will happily email the app so far over a secure email if this will help.

Please could i get a response particularly regarding question 1 within 8 days as my trial runs out then and i must consider weather to purchase licences or try other solutions.

Hi will,

1. What do i need to do in terms of registration as an apple developer and getting the app distributed? I have been trying to understand how mobi-one works and the long term costs and can’t seem to find a clear answer. I’ve seen info saying that hosted apps only last for 50 days and have a 5mb size limit plus apple web development liscences cost around $100.

How many devices do you plan to install your app on? I would consider an iOS enterprise developer subscription for creating and distributing apps privately to my employees. You can host apps for direct installation off almost any website. There is no need for extra mobione licenses or complex infrastructure. Also this fall we plan to provide portal interface to the App Center and provide long term hosting of apps for individuals and groups.

2. In terms of technically creating the end contract summary screen can this be done via a series of forms or will custom java script cues be required? I don’t mind learning the java script but assume forms would be easier and cleaner.
You can achieve that with custom javascript. Please see the next example to see how to display SelectList selections in a TextArea in differents screens.

The forms guide should be available in the next 1-2 weeks.

thanks for the reply on this i’ve recently purchased the mobi one liscence largly due to the excellent support i have received on this forum. i look forward to the form development guide and more of the excellent javascript/jquery examples.
