Profiles

Mobile App Development Profiles

Profile file is JSON based configuration file for each mobile application to support the process of generation HTML (views) and JavaScript (controllers) files for given app. It is important for developer working with JForms. Defining the profile they can decide which dispatcher (and thus what metadata) is used to generate the app.

The profile files are placed in /XT/aperio/development/profiles folder.

To add new profile just create JSON file with suitable elements and put it into folder where other profiles reside.
