App Tools

The diagram below shows the process of creating mobile applications using the different Iotize (and third party) tools:

If you are using the App Builder tools as part of IoTize hardware products, we highly recommend that you first create your configuration with IoTize Studio. You will then be able to define your variables, user profiles, associated rights, and even start defining the outline of the user interface. Then, you will use the .IOTZ file as input for the App Tools.

On the other hand, if you use our tools without connecting to Iotize' Duetware firmware, then there is no need to go through the Iotize Studio step. You will then be able to use as a resource, not the IOTZ configuration file, but directly your CSV/ELF/DBC files... in which your variables are defined. The authentication, encryption, etc. aspects will then be managed as low code directly at the Dataflow level in Dashboard Creator.

The diagram above shows the different path for creating your Apps:

  1. With IoTize Tap objects (TapNLink, Tapioca, TapBus,...), start with Iotize Studio to create your configuration file (.IOTZ). This file will allow you to use the Tap managed components in both the UI and the Dataflow Editors.

  2. Then use the Dashboard Creator to create your App. At a first step, you can use Tap Manager as a shell App to test it.

  3. Then App Creator will allow you to create an Ionic Project (or directly an APK to debug first with an Android device). This Ionic project will be then compiled either by XCode for iOS, or by Android Studio.
