Welcome to our October 2017 MobileCaddy Trust update, designed to keep you up to speed with all the latest mobile OS releases and versions, cover anything new with the Salesforce platform, and offer a look ahead to important forthcoming changes or issues for you to keep an eye on.
We’re all aware of the thrice-yearly Salesforce releases, and how they’re unstoppable forces. We’re all also aware that bugs exist, and that any bug found post-launch is a lot more expensive than one found during testing. Here’s a quick story on one such bug, and how MobileCaddy helped to get it removed from the Winter ‘18 release.
Whenever Salesforce patches make their way into pre-release orgs our daily test runs kick off and identify the change. These tests run on 15+ org setups and report back any issues that might have been observed. One such observation was reported back during the early days of Summer ‘17 patch rollouts into pre-release. The issue manifested itself initially as the inability to complete the authentication flow on iOS devices built with Salesforce Mobile SDK v4.0.2 and lower.
During the investigations into the issue, we raised a notification on our trust site to keep our partners and customers aware of the risk of the behaviour. We also developed some internal work-arounds. If the issue wasn’t fixed prior to Summer ‘17 making it’s way into our partners’ sandboxes, these would let us unblock them from their development and testing processes.
We also discovered that the bug broke the vanilla experience of browsing standard Visualforce pages on iOS Safari; this could be bad if it got through into production.

The Salesforce Community Cloud allows organisations to bring together employees, partners, third-party workers, B2B customers, and even consumers. This article will explore three different approaches to delivering mobile Salesforce community applications, and will help readers choose the most suitable option.
A Salesforce community is an online platform for organisations to connect employees, partners, and customers, while providing seamless access to the data and records they need to get work done or complete tasks.
Built on the Salesforce Community Cloud, they offer real-time engagement and the ability to share any file, data, or record anytime and from anywhere.
Mobile app testing is a crucial phase within the development process, and throughout the lifecycle, as it has a direct impact on the eventual success or failure of the application itself. This article will detail a number of ways in which technology solutions, such as the MobileCaddy Application Delivery Framework, remove common challenges in this area for Salesforce project teams.
With the MobileCaddy Application Delivery Framework (ADF), code deployment is made simple from a developer’s perspective, thanks to the CodeFlow development environment. CodeFlow enables one-button deployment, from the developer’s local environment up to the Salesforce platform. This bundles up the application logic, UI, and much more into one simple flow.
Following this, an extremely important step in the testing is to ensure that code has deployed successfully. By using the MobileCaddy Platform Emulator, along with the browser’s development console, developers can validate the code immediately after it’s been deployed. This is beneficial because a partially failed deployment, or missing assets, will be picked up for correction before any QA or UAT processes begin.
It’s with great pleasure that we can officially announce the first desktop support for MobileCaddy applications. This expansion is something we’re extremely proud of, as it marks a significant step in our mission to provide seamless mobile working within the global Salesforce ecosystem, free of any limitations.
A new year brings new ideas and new priorities for businesses. With the technology available constantly changing and evolving at such a fast pace, 2017 is also expected to bring a number of trends for the mobile enterprise which will continue to sculpt a new set of standards and expectations for how people work.
As leading IT providers such as Salesforce continue to bolster their offerings, and place even more power in the palms of their enterprise customers’ hands to innovate from within, the mobile technologies being leveraged by modern businesses are becoming more exciting, while having a far greater impact on the daily lives of workers.
Just before Christmas we reflected on 10 important statistics from the past 12 months which shed some interesting light on the current role mobile apps are playing for businesses within the Salesforce community. Now we’ve turned our attention to the year ahead, with five predictions regarding trends for the mobile enterprise we believe will take shape throughout the remainder of 2017.
