Customize the app string, image resources, and settings

Begin the actual app customization by changing its most visible identifiers.

Perform this task in the copy of the DeploymentKitApp in Xcode on your computer.

Prerequisites

Before you customize the app, we recommend that you make a copy of the DeploymentKitApp and keep it in a safe place.
  • Modifying the app identifier
    The app identifier (also known as a bundle identifier) is a combination of the reverse domain name of your company and the app name. Change this string to uniquely identify your version of the app from that of TIBCO or any other enterprise version.
  • Setting team and developer account options
    You can associate your Apple Developer account with Xcode and set the Team box in the General tab of the project settings to your Apple Developer Team account.
  • Modifying the app icon
    The Spotfire Deployment Kit for Apple iPad app uses image asset catalogs for the app icon. You can change the app icon that appears in the home screen on the iPad.
  • Editing the launch screen storyboard
    The Spotfire Deployment Kit for Apple iPad app uses a storyboard resource file for the startup (launch screen) image. You can change the launch screen that displays when the app opens. The LaunchScreen.storyboard is an interface builder storyboard file that uses auto-layout and some basic constraints on the controls to adjust the display for all the supported devices.
  • Adding optional content to the Settings view footer area
    If you want to provide an image or other content in the Settings view, you can provide the HTML file in the app bundle.
  • Changing the app title
    You can change the name of the app as it appears on the Home screen and in the Settings app.
  • Modifying the app iTunes store picture
    When your app appears in the iTunes store, the image that it uses is obtained from your app package with an image file called iTunesArtwork. You can customize this image file.
  • Modifying the app version number
    By default, the version number of the app is set to 1.0 and the build number is also set to 1.0. You can change these numbers. We recommend you increment the app version number with each release of your app.
  • Modifying the app end user license agreement
    The Settings view includes an end user license agreement (EULA). You can customize this EULA.
  • The app strings
    The app strings contained in the file Localizable.strings are used by the app to display user interface elements and information to the user during an operation. You can have multiple copies of this file—one for each language you translate for—each in a folder specifying a target language.
  • Modifying the app images
    Nearly all of the images used in the user interface of the app can be customized. Override the default image with one you create that has the same dimensions, file name, and extension as the default.
  • The app settings
    The DeploymentKitApp comes with a Settings bundle that is a duplicate of the default Settings bundle in the Spotfire for Apple iPad app.
