Mobile enterprise applications can be delivered through virtualization, mobile app platforms, or ISV apps. Non-coding methods include Citrix Mobility Pack, which provides touch optimizations and native widgets. Coding methods involve various platforms and languages like iOS/Objective-C and Android/Java. The Citrix Mobile Application SDK provides over 50 APIs for mobilizing Windows apps on XenApp with touch interfaces and device detection. Debugging can be done remotely with tools like Visual Studio. Resources include code and blogs on these mobile enterprise application development topics.
![Detection of a Mobile Device
How to detect if a mobile device is accessing a Server Based Application?
The following is an example command script:
usrlogon.cmd
------------
@ECHO OFF
:start
CTXCliOS.exe
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 goto noOS
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 goto winOS
IF ERRORLEVEL 82 goto macOS
IF ERRORLEVEL 83 goto iOS
IF ERRORLEVEL 84 goto androidOS
goto noOS
:winOS
rem Client OS successfully matched to windows
echo Client OS is Windows.
echo put other commands here for this client.
goto end
:macOS
rem Client OS successfully matched to mac
echo Client OS is Mac.
echo put other commands here for this client.
goto end
:iOS
rem Client OS successfully matched to iOS
echo Client OS is iOS.
echo put other commands here for this client.
goto end
:androidOS
rem Client OS successfully matched to android
echo Client OS is Android.
echo put other commands here for this client.
goto end
:noOS
echo NO CLient OS match.
:end
CTXCliOS is a command-line tool for Citrix Servers to check the type
of Operating System that is being run from the Client Machine that is
running the Citrix Receiver or Plugin.
Usage:
CTXCliOS [/?]

Editor's Notes
- #4: Traditional applications and websites were meant to be run on a full desktops. These desktops are mainly corporate owned. We know the capabilities and types of these devices. We also know how to deliver applications to these desktops via AD, System Center, XenApp, RDP, App-V, etc.
- #5: BYOD breaks the model.These devices are not mainly corporate owned. We often do not know the capabilities and types of these devices. There are limited capabilities to deliver applications to these devices.
- #12: We are going to talk about 2 strategies to mobilize enterprise applications.Mobilize existing applications (no coding)Create (or modify) application code tailored to mobile devices
- #13: First, we’ll look at non-coding methods
- #14: There are many ways to remote a desktop to a mobile device. Unfortunately, remoting the desktop can be clunky. Vendors have made some progress by making keyboard pop-up and supporting pan-and-zoom, but the user experience still isn’t the greatest.
- #15: When your finger is your primary input device, application interfaces can be too small. Making things bigger via registry can help in this aspect. Some sample registry modifications are attached to the slide.
- #16: Laying out applications to mimic mobile devices is another strategy sometime used. This is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet optimized for an iPhone.
- #17: Using your mobile device as a viewer.
- #26: First, we’ll look at non-coding methods
- #28: Technologies like PhoneGap and HTML5 can be used to get closer to the device, but there are still limitations.PhoneGap gives you access to a lot of the phone’s features, but PhoneGap still isn’t a build-once deploy-anywhere reality. Also, you are remote to the data.HTML5 can give you location, but lot of the device’s features are still inaccessible.
- #30: The Citrix Mobile Application SDK is going to get you as close to the device as possible without a multitude of native code.
