What MobiOne action are you using that sends a url to your phone?
1) If you are building an app then click the link to start a the installer process that will install the app?
2)If you are creating a webapp then click the link to load the webapp version of your mobione project in the device’s browser. Then
2a) If you are on ios then choose the Save to Home Screen action the browser.
2b) If you are on android choose Add to Home Screen action from the browser.If none of this works for you please describe the problem in more details and include screenshot or any other info to help us understand the problem.
Hi Michael:
I haven’t been on here in awhile (maybe a year). I developed and app for and iphone through this site. Previously, I could “Publish the target in a Mobile Web App”, at least I think that’s how I did it. Then, it would send a link to my email address and I could SAVE the icon on my iphone or ipod touch and access the app through the icon.
Now, it sends the url to my email and only lets you open the app through the url link.
How do I get it to send the link and then save it to my iphone?
Do I instead “Build the IOS app” and go an purchase a digital certificate, etc…? I don’t remember purchasing a digital certificate previously and I know it is for 1 year. If I purchase a certificate and use the “Build” option will it send the link to my email and then it will ask me if I want to save it as an app?
I sent a message to App Developers and asked when I last purchase a certificate–so I will know if this is how I did it before.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Celeste,
This tutorial explains how to add your web app to the home screen, note that it requires an update (I’ve opened a bug for this) since there are not screenshots for ios7 but it’s basically the same.
