Install button

For iOS, you need to choose checkboxes before installation.

Checkboxes (iOS only)

When you click on Install for an iOS application, the following modal appears:

App Re-singing and Image Injection checkboxes for iOS

Here you need to choose the checkboxes:

App-Resigning: adds the Mobitru provisioning profile into the application.

Image Injection: required when you work with QR/Barcode or Biometric Authentication features.

Please note that App Re-signing influences the features based on iOS entitlements (Push notifications, Login via Apple Id, etc.). To avoid it, you can add the Mobitru devices UDIDs to your developer program, re-build the application and install the app without the Re-signing checkbox on the added devices. The Image injection feature can be added to your test build. To find out how to do it, contact support@mobitru.com.
