Salesforce Mobile App Generation (Developer Preview)

The Mobile App Generation Ecosystem (MAGE) is a suite of pro-code tools designed to automate the creation and editing of Salesforce native mobile applications. By using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it currently allows developers to generate production-ready iOS and Android project scaffolds directly through a chat interface. This suite of tools bridges the gap between natural language requirements and complex mobile development configurations, specifically handling the Salesforce Mobile SDK and Agentforce Mobile SDK integrations.

Mobile App Generation Ecosystem (MAGE) is available as a developer preview. Feature isn’t generally available unless or until Salesforce announces its general availability in documentation or in press releases or public statements. All commands, parameters, and other features are subject to change or deprecation at any time, with or without notice. Don't implement functionality developed with these commands or tools.

Note

Developing native mobile apps that integrate with Salesforce often involves complex setup procedures, including authentication configuration, SDK version management, and platform-specific project structures. MAGE simplifies this process by:

  • Accelerating setup by instantly generating a "steel thread" application (a working skeleton) for iOS or Android, saving hours of manual bootstrapping.
  • Automates the implementation of the Salesforce Mobile SDK (authentication, data access) and Agentforce Mobile SDK (embedded AI service agents).
  • Generates code by using modern templates and automatically handles tricky platform-specific tasks, such as correctly adding files to Xcode projects to prevent compilation errors.
