Salesforce App Developer Guide
jIntroducing the Salesforce App
The Salesforce apps are Salesforce on the go! These enterprise-class mobile apps give your users real-time access to the same information that they see in the office, but organized for getting work done in those precious free moments when they’re between customer meetings, waiting for a flight—even when they’re in line for coffee.
- As an app for iOS from the App Store or an app for Android from Google Play.
- As mobile web experience that runs in supported mobile browsers. This option doesn’t require anything to be installed.
In this book, we’ll be working exclusively with the downloadable apps.
Requirements for Using Salesforce
The Salesforce app is available for most Salesforce editions and user license types. The app is supported on a variety of mobile platforms, with some minimum operating system and mobile browser requirements.
For current mobile platform requirements and the list of devices that Salesforce uses for testing, see Requirements for the Salesforce App in the Salesforce Help.
On most devices, Salesforce is supported in portrait orientation only. The one exception is when using the Salesforce for iOS on iPad tablets, where both portrait and landscape orientation are supported.
