The Apicloud of IoT app development tool

This article by the embedded Penguin Circle original team member-South China Normal University Internet of Things Innovation Center Mr. Hende_zhu.

As mentioned in the previous article, the Gyeongju IoT system provides two SDKs for app-side development, for native app development and hybrid mode development based on the Apicloud platform, where the main push Apicloud for app development. Through the Apicloud platform, developers can use standard Web technology to complete a high-quality mobile application (including iOS and Android), which has a short development cycle, the features of the powerful modules are the favorite of the IoT developers.

In addition to Gyeongju, the wit cloud also provides a module package for Apicloud Development, Apicloud provides modules to extend various functions. The following describes the use of the Apicloud platform and the local debugging environment.

First, account registration

Now Apicloud official website to complete the account registration login: http://www.apicloud.com/, you can see the account under the automatic creation of a HelloApp project (the following is described in this project example to expand):

Second, the development tool download

Website Link: http://www.apicloud.com/devtools, the application that can open the tool directly after downloading.

Third, the project is mounted, synchronized to the local

After the login is completed, the project is mounted, synchronized to the local for debugging, of course, you can also choose to re-create the local Apicloud project for development.

Four, real-time preview

Five, the local compilation of the installation package, WiFi True machine synchronization debugging

1. Compile the custom loader and install the application after compiling:

2.wifi Real-Computer synchronous debugging: Check the WiFi true sync server address by clicking Help in the menu bar, view the WiFi true sync server address, open the app (connect WiFi, phone must and server on the same LAN) Click on the white Ball of the page, Then enter the server port number and address, just click on the white ball turned green is the connection success:

3. After changing the code, click the WiFi icon in the toolbar to sync your wifi, then preview and test it on the phone.

4. The reader may see a real-time preview on the PC side of the front, why do you want to get the mobile app side? In fact, the PC-side preview is a static preview of the page, the project's JS script is not parsed, but also in reference to the Apicloud provided modules such as two-dimensional code module is not compiled, so only on the PC can not complete the test, Custom loader is apicloud for developers to complete the local compilation and testing tools, WiFi real-time synchronization fast, has a quite good debugging experience.

Six, the app officially released

1. Sync in the cloud, submit your code:

2. End settings: Set app icon, Portrait screen, status bar, and start page

3. Create a certificate with one click

Certificate Creation Completed:

4. Cloud Compilation

Once the compilation is complete, the QR code can be scanned for download and installation:

The above completed the Apicloud environment Setup, commissioning and application compilation and official release of the introduction, hurriedly start your app development test it!
