Yes, it’s true that all your Caspio web apps already work on the iPhone, but it’s great to offer mobile users an experience that is optimized for their device. This guide shows you how you can create iPhone web apps that look as close to native iPhone apps as possible. No programming experience other than very basic HTML is required. Note that by iPhone we also mean iPad. The two devices share the same browser and behave the same for our purposes. Additionally, the Android appears to operate iPhone web apps similarly. If you haven’t already seen our sample forms and apps optimized for iPhone, just use your mobile browser to review the forms and try out different demos (inquiry form, CRM app, map mashup). If you like what you see, continue. If you are not a current Caspio user, sign up for a trial account now. We have designed a simple Caspio style that for the most part gets traditional web styles out of the way so that the framework style can take over.
There are two ways to get the style. The first way is quick. In your Caspio Bridge account, go to the Styles section and click on the import button on the top toolbar. Point to the style file and import it into your account. The second way is to open a support ticket and request the iPhone kit to be loaded into your account. The advantage of this option is that you get the style loaded into your Caspio Bridge account. Just make sure you have adequate DataPage slots in your account if you go with this option. The demo currently utilizes 3 DataPages. This is actually very simple. Select your preferred page from the provided HTML sample pages and replace the existing deploy code with your own. Adjust the links if needed, as you’d do with any other web page. Dedicated Mobile DataPages - You will need two versions of your DataPages, one for regular web sites and one for iPhone. This way, you can optimize the iPhone version to achieve the best experience without sacrificing the experience of web users. Apply iPhone Style - Make sure to apply the iPhone style to your iPhone DataPages. List or Grid (No Tabular Results) - Search results in tabular view won’t look good on the iPhone. We suggest using List view, or at most, a two column grid view. Experiment and Share Feedback - We’d love to know how your projects are working out, so please post a link to your apps and share any improvements that you may make to the styles or other parts of the template. We will be adding improvements and more samples to this blog, so check back often. We look forward to sharing real-world examples utilizing this kit. The first of which is Caspio’s long-time valued customer, Diversified Business Communications Canada. They deployed a mobile app for conference session schedules in just 2 hours. See how they did it.
