Before you build an app for Android, iOS, or Windows platforms, you must have done the following:

•Give your app an App Name, App Icon, App ID and Version number in App Settings.

•Deployed your app through all the deployment stages to the Production stage.

If you plan to distribute your apps through the app stores - Google Play, the App Store, or Microsoft Store - there are requirements that you need to set up and configure before you build the app. For example, for iOS builds, you need to have the provisioning file because it contains the App-ID you need to enter in App Settings.

When you build an app for Android or iOS platforms, the result is a compiled file that contains all the information required for your app to be distributed. In the case of Windows, the result is a zip file.

If you do not want to build apps and distribute the files, you can simply use VertiGIS Studio Go to open and run your app. To do so, you need to download the correct version of VertiGIS Studio Go from the appropriate store to each device and have the appropriate ArcGIS licenses for each user.

Before you can build an app for each of the stores, you must have the following:

•Android: A KeyStore File, a KeyStore File Password, a Private Key Password and a KeyStore Alias.

•iOS: A Provisioning File, a P12 File, and a P12 Password. The provisioning file also contains the App-ID you must use when you enter information in App Settings.

•Windows: A PFX File and a PFX File Password.
