At the time of releasing an app, you must store the following details about the app in the CT_MOBILE_APP_MASTER table in the database.
Screen shot of the CT_MOBILE_APP_MASTER table:
Note Separate records must be created in the CT_MOBILE_APP_MASTER table for each of the following conditions:
- When the app is registered for multiple platforms.
- When a new version of the app is released. The APP_STATUS for the previous version must be changed to INACTIVE to disable that version. You can delete the previous version entry from the table, if required. If the older version is inactive or the entry is not found, the customer is forced to update the app.
The details of each column in the CT_MOBILE_APP_MASTER table are as follows:
Column Name
