  2. Choose the action you wish to perform - either editing an existing app or building a new one. If you are building a new app click on the "+ Create New" button on the top

  3. Or if you editing one please click on the pen icon under the actions section.

Creation and Editing Interface​

Essential App Information​
  • App Name: Choose a name that resonates with the app's purpose.
  • Icon: Upload the icon. Ensure it is clear and recognizable (Size should be 1024*1024 for best quality, And must be .jpeg).
  • BaseURL: Set the BaseURL (e.g., https://develop.gauniv.com/HelloNavigation/login). This directs users to the intended page upon application start.
  • Email: Enter the email address where the notification is sent.
  • Identifier: An automatically generated wildcard app ID (e.g., com.gauniv.DevsyApp).
