Spotfire® System Requirements

Spotfire® for Android

This page lists the system requirements for installing and running Spotfire® for Android version 1.4 on your mobile Android device.

Hardware
Device

Any phone or tablet device that can run Android 11 or later.

Software
Operating system Android 11 or later, with Google Play Services installed.
TIBCO Spotfire software Connection(*) to a Spotfire Server, version 12.0.x or 11.4.x (LTS versions) and later. Connection to a node manager running Spotfire® Web Player, version 12.0.x or 11.4.x and later.
Note: Lower LTS versions might still be supported but are no longer updated. For more information about Spotfire LTS support, see Overview of Spotfire Releases - Innovation and LTS (Long-Term Support).
Note: * There are no known restrictions on the type of connection (such as VPN). If the mobile device can connect to the server from a web browser (over HTTP or HTTPS), the Spotfire® for Android app should also be able to connect. Because the app connects using dedicated web services, any security appliances or reverse proxies between the app and the server must be configured properly to allow those requests and responses to work.

  • Basic Database1
  • Web Authentication methods OAuth and OpenID
