How do I build the iPhone app? Right now I have an app that is delivered in ZFC but it isn't near as cool as the iPhone app. How do you build one of the cool ones?

Thanks
Larry

That's the best part about the new QlikView for iPhone... you don't have to do anything to it. Just download the app to your iPhone (link below), connect to your QlikView Server, and go. The one minor thing to be careful of is that you need to have network access to your QVS from your iPhone. That means either your QVS is available via the Internet, you connect VPN to your network, or you connect via wifi within your network.

Anthony,

Is there any doc available on QVS setup requirements (if any) for the iPhone? My user can get to the demo.qlik.com site but does not get a response from my local QVS. I believe we have the correct network connectivity because the iPhone can contact other (not qvp:// ) servers on the same network).

Thanks,
Rob

I'm having an issue connecting to my QV server via the iphone app. I entered all the connection settings, username and password, but once I click the server to connect, the app crashes going directly back to the home screen.

The same problem also occurs on a second Iphone so I know its not my device. I also tried rebooting and re-installing the app, always the same results though.

I have network access to the server via the iphone. I can connect to the demo server without any problems.

I am running QVS 8.50.6231.0409.10.

Any ideas?

Hi Clifford,

I am the developer for the iPhone app. Would it be possible for me to connect to your server over the web to test out the problem?

Drop me an email - matt@b1te.com

Thanks
Matt

I'm seeing the same thing. I crash back to the home screen everytime I try to connect to our server. I can get to other servers on our network fine and I can use the demo app server in QlikView.

Folks,

once one of you get it resolved - could someone please write a Wiki article about configuring the server for the iPhone app ? Maybe Matt could do it, as the developer of the application ?

Matt - great job, by the way!

Thanks! Its great to see everybody getting involved with feedback.

Ill look into creating a Wiki page.

FYI we currently have a bug in the iPhone app V1.0. If any documents on your server have filenames with non standard characters (ie "&" or international characters) the app will crash when connecting. Not sure how we missed this on testing!

We are looking at pushing an upgrade to Apple asap to fix.

In the mean time you can either

a) Edit the filenames and remove these chars

b) Create another server instance just for mobile apps, and copy only documents with standard filenames there

Fix in release 1.0.1!

Rob,

Have you been able to obtain any documentation. I am having the same problem. I can access the demo, but don't get a response from my local server.

Thanks,

Brenda

Brenda,

I have not made any progress on this. I've ordered an iPhone so I can test it myself. If I make any progress, I'll post here.

We run tests inside our local network (wi-fi connection). It works fine with a QVS 8.5 server, but not yet with a QVS 9 rc server (no application list is shown).

We have a few questions, any help is welcome :

1) How do we set up a Mobile directory in QVS ? Is it a special folder name or location ?

2) How can we test that qvpx protocol is operational on port 80 ? in our case, accessing Ajax thru Iphone Safari is working well on QVS 9, but access point is empty until we log in. Then it works.

3) So we suspect some CAL issue (Our QVS 8 server allows anonymous access with session cals, so we can connect without credentials, our QVS 9 server don't allow this and uses named user CAL). What can go wrong ? User name entered is valid (we use windows syntax "DomainName\UserName") and has a CAL (use for Ajax test). Nothing in QVS log either...

4) Another difference beetween theses systems, the running QVS8.5 is running thru IIS, while QVS9 rc uses only the embedded web server QWS. But documentation says it should work normaly with QWS.

If anybody having ran into theses kind of issues can help, thanks in advance.

QlikView for iPhone 1.1 is now on the app store and will work against QVS 9.

1) Just add a folder named "mobile" under the root of your server

2) Just try deploying a ZFC app

3) This should work fine! Does any error message appear?

4) This shouldnt be an issue.
