App Sharing

When you're working on an app, you may want to let other people see or even work on the app but you don't want to share your ViziApps login information. The solution is app sharing.

App sharing lets you easily give another ViziApps developer access to the app. Why share an app? Many reasons, such as

• Share your app with another developer for evaluation and/or testing. You control whether the other developer has full ViziApps capabilities or can only test the app.
• Share your app with a UI designer for consultation. 
• Share your app with a contractor for the duration of the project, then revoke the sharing when the project ends.
• Share your app with the client to let them approve and test the design and functionality.

Note: Although you can share an app, only the original developer (the app's "owner") can publish it.

To invoke app sharing, click the Share This App button on the canvas, shown below.

This opens the Share An App dialog box, shown below.

In the Share with Username field, enter the desired user's ViziApps user name.

In the Message From You field, enter any instructions or notes for the recipient. ViziApps will automatically add your message to an email and send it to the recipient.

The App Sharing Type options let you specify whether the other developer can open the app and modify it in ViziApps (the Developer option) or open the app in the ViziApps simulator app on their mobile device but not be able to modify it (the Tester option).

To unshare an app, select it in the Shared Apps field list box and click Remove.
