The FeedHenry Mobile App Store provides end-users with the ability to install mobile apps, for iOS and Android, directly onto their mobile devices, via a mobile internet site.
This documentation discusses the Mobile App Store perspective, API access to this functionality is available via the Mobile App Store APIs.
If your domain administrator has configured a Mobile App Store for your domain, they will be able to give you the mobile Internet site address, normally something like: https://your_domain.feedhenry.com/store. Your domain administrator will also be able to give you the access details. They may have allowed access, to the Mobile App Store, using your Google account, an enterprise LDAP directory, or your FeedHenry App Studio user id and password.
When you browse to https://your_domain.feedhenry.com/store on your device, you will be presented with the login screen of the Mobile App Store, an example is shown below:
The login screen lists the name of the Mobile App Store and its icon, as setup by the administrator.
A list of authentication methods will be displayed. In the example Mobile App Store shown above, it's possible to login with Google or FeedHenry credentials, your domain administrator will be able to tell you which authentication method to choose. (If no authentication methods have been setup for the Mobile App Store by the administrator, it will not be possible to login, and the app store will not be available)
After logging in using one of the authentication policies (Google, LDAP, or FeedHenry) selected by your domain administrator, you will be presented with a list of apps appropriate for your
device.
