The Mobile Publisher is the wizard that will allow you to customize your iOS and Android apps when you purchase the Mobile Suite. Care has been taken to make the Mobile Publisher as easy to use and self-explanatory as possible. Here is a quick run through of the Mobile Publisher. When you first enter the Publisher, it will ask you for the URL of your website and your Mobile API key. Both of these need to be exact so that the resulting application can connect to your site and present data to the end user. Once this is done and a connection is made, you cannot change this information. It is important to get this correct. You can obtain your Mobile API key in your Admin CP at the bottom of the left navigation frame. Once the Mobile API is enabled, this key will be available. It is unique to your site. Do not share this with others.
Drafts
As you progress through the Mobile Publisher, you can save drafts. These allow you to pick up on your customization later. However note that once you have submitted your App, you cannot go back and edit drafts anymore.
The following pages will walk you through each step of the Mobile Publisher Wizard.

Once recovered, you will need to either copy and paste them into the JIRA issue report as a comment or attach the resulting file to the JIRA Issue Report.
