Study Notes

Mobile App Branding

The process of creating a branded mobile app involves reviewing and optimizing the Salesforce mobile app and mobile Experience Cloud Sites.
The branded app is a duplicate of the Salesforce app and mobile Experience Cloud Sites, with customized branding and packaging.
Before creating a branded app, evaluate the organization's current mobile usage and optimize the Salesforce app and mobile Experience Cloud Sites implementation.

Preparing Branded Assets

Preparing branded assets is the most important part of the process and involves designing visual elements for the app.
The branded assets include visual elements such as logos, icons, and graphics.
Work with a professional designer to create visual assets that align with the company's brand.

Creating a Mobile Publisher Project

One Mobile Publisher project can create two apps, one for iOS and one for Android.
The project requires branded assets, and the distribution type needs to be chosen.
The distribution type can be public or private, depending on the organization's needs and guidelines from Apple and Google.

Distribution Types

Public distribution: The branded app is listed publicly on the App Store and Google Play.
Private distribution: The branded app is listed privately, not accessible publicly on the App Store or Google Play.
Customer Delegated Distribution: The branded app is published via the organization's developer account, either publicly or privately.

Entering Information About the App

Enter information about the iOS and Android versions of the app.
The information includes branded assets and distribution type.
The same steps can be repeated for multiple apps, or the apps can be launched one at a time.

Next Steps

After entering information about the app, the next step is to request a beta version of the app for testing.
The bulk of the work is done, and the baton is passed to Salesforce for further processing.
