uMobile iOS App

uMobile is the mobilization of uPortal. It brings campus applications, content, and data to mobile devices. For additional information, please refer to the Apereo uMobile page.

This app is a native Objective-C implementation of uMobile for iOS devices—everything from iPod Touch on iOS 6 to iPad Air running iOS 8. This means native iOS idioms, features, UI components, and frameworks are readily available and easily integrated.

Getting Started

Clone this project and open uMobile.xcodeproj in Xcode (available on the Mac app store if you don't already have it).

Then, select an iOS Simulator from the top toolbar and click the Run icon (▶) just to the left of it to compile and run.

That's it!

Customization

This app has been designed from the ground up to be modular and easily customizable. Everything you need to change, other than the launch images and app icon, are found within the Constants.h and Constants.m files.

Constants.h

Global colors are defined here.

• kPrimaryTintColor is used for the portlet section headers and other UI elements
• kSecondayTintColor is mainly used for background colors
• kTextTintColor is for non-button UI text; you may want to set it the same as kPrimaryTintColor

Constants.m

Change the following values to point to your own uPortal instance:

• kBaseURL is the main URL for your uPortal instance, such as https://yourportal.example.edu.
• kCasServer will allow you to log in if you're running CAS

Note: if you use a form of authentication / single sign-on other than CAS, you'll have to subclass the Authenticator class and override its public API (the methods listed in Authenticator.h).

Other constants:

• kTitle is the title of the app displayed throughout
• kForgotPasswordURL can be used to pop the user over to Safari
• kUsernamePlaceholder is the placeholder text for the Username text field on the Login view
