Users sideload TPKs onto their devices using the file system in the case of Windows and Android, or iTunes in the case of iOS devices. It is essential that users add the TPK file to the correct folder on each type of device because Mobile apps look for TPKs in those specific folders.

Windows Devices

Use the file manager on a computer to transfer the TPK to the following folder on the device:

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\[GeocortexMobileViewerAppName]\LocalState

Android Devices

Use the file manager on the computer to transfer the TPK to the following equivalent folder on the device:

[Root Path]/Android/data/geocortex.mobile.viewer.custom/files

On Android devices, the first part of this path varies according to the device.

iOS Devices

To sideload a file onto an iOS device:

1.Open iTunes.

2.Plug the device into a computer, and then in iTunes click the device icon in the top left corner.

The panel on the left displays the Settings for the device.

3.Click File Sharing, and then click one of the following:

•For VertiGIS Studio Go, click VertiGIS Studio Go in the Apps box.

A list of the VertiGIS Studio Go Documents displays in the right-hand box.

•For Custom apps, click the [app name] in the Apps box.

A list documents for your custom app displays.

4.From your file system, drag the .TPK file and drop it into the Documents box.

The status bar at the top of the window indicates that iTunes is copying the TPK file to the device.

Once the file is copied, it appears in the list of Documents.

The TPK is now sideloaded onto the device.
