Let’s look at the overall process so you know what to expect when creating your branded app with Mobile Publisher.
Here are the basic steps:
- Sign up for the Mobile Publisher program. Contact your Salesforce sales rep for more information.
- Choose the Salesforce mobile app to brand (only one app can be branded per org).
- Start a new Mobile Publisher project.
- Design your branded assets and upload them along with your app information to Salesforce.
- Receive and thoroughly test the beta version of your branded app. For example, test the beta version to make sure your branding looks correct on devices with different screen sizes.
- Set up your preferred type of app distribution (Google or Apple).
- Approve your branded app and Salesforce submits it to Google and Apple. The store approval process can take from one day to two weeks depending on the app.
- See your branded app listed in Google Play and the App Store.
After your app is available to download from Google Play and the App Store, maintenance is a breeze. If your branding changes in the future, you can make an unlimited number of edits to your assets with Mobile Publisher. And when Salesforce releases a new version of the mobile app, the updates to your branded app are seamless.
