Then click the "Play" button to build the app. mobile-l1-build-app

This might take a minute or two the first time. Ignore all the warnings that show up in xcode. Congrats! You now just ran the demo iOS app in an iPhone 7 simulator. The app running in the simulator is a fully functional app similar to the ones you can install on an iPhone. If your simulator doesn't look like a phone, set the scale to 50% or 75%

If you have the demo app running in the simulator and you are logged in, congrats! You are all set to begin working on your lab objectives.

STEP 5 : Organize your windows and tabs

You will have four windows open during this lab. Here is a recommended approach but feel free to organize your windows based on what you find convenient.

  • Window 1 : This wiki which contains your lab workbook. Keep this window always open on the left so that it is easy to refer and navigate.
  • Window 2 : Adobe Marketing Cloud UI from Step 4. Have this open in a seperate window as we will be opening new tabs to other marketing cloud solutions.
  • Window 3 : Xcode
  • Window 4 : Simulator. You can keep this as a overlay on top of the xcode window or have it minimized.
