Package and directory nodes (mobile)

You can add a package node that is set up and organized for creating a package that will be put onto a mobile device.

Genero Studio creates a pre-defined mobile package when you:
  • add a new Android™ or iOS package.
  • create your project using the BAM Mobile Project (.4pw) option.
  • create your project using the Mobile Project (.4pw) option.

The pre-defined structure for a mobile package is shown in Figure 1. The package node defines the packaging instructions for the mobile app. A directory node specifies one or more files to be included in the package.
