How to Update App Icon Branding in Secure Android & iOS Apps

Adding customized mobile app branding and configuring the app to run in a specific environment is a major feature in app development. When deploying third-party applications, this option is mostly unavailable or costly to achieve.

This Knowledge Base article summarizes the steps required to customize mobile app branding and add network configuration to mobile apps using the Context^TM step in the Appdome workflow.

We hope you find this knowledge base useful and enjoy using Appdome!

Appdome Context Enables App Customization, Configuration, and Branding for Secured Apps

Context^TM is an Appdome service allowing a user to customize apps with a custom icon, app name, and private URL.

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites. For example, there is no Appdome SDK, libraries, or plug-ins to implement. Likewise, there are no required infrastructure changes and no dependency on the original apps icon, language or App layout inside the app. The Appdome technology implements Context adaptations, adds frameworks, and more to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.

The App customization divides into three sub-categories:

• App Display Customization – customize the app’s icon, display name or add a favicon
• App Configuration – add a custom configuration.
• App Set-Up – add multi-language support, and scaling support.

Using Appdome, users can change the app’s icon and name, as if it was natively coded to the app. Appdome’s Context is compatible with mobile apps built in any development environment including Native Android and iOS apps, hybrid apps, and non-native apps built-in Xamarin, Cordova, and React Native, Ionic and more. This streamlines implementations, cuts development work, and ensures a guaranteed and consistent customization of any mobile app.

How to Customize Your App Using Appdome Context™

Once you have successfully secured an app on Appdome, follow these step-by-step instructions to customize the secured mobile app:

Navigate to Context™ in the Appdome Workflow

Select the Build Tab. Beneath the Build Tab, select Context^TM. Note: a blue highlight will appear showing the category is active. 

Alternatively, you may be redirected to this step after every App Fusion. Note: Context is not mandatory. If you don’t wish to add any of the Context features you may press Skip.

App Set-Up

Universal App Scaling – only supported for iOS apps. allow apps to be installed and displayed correctly on all device sizes (iPads for example).

After Setting Up the Context for Your App

1. You can Skip the process and you will be redirected to App Signing without any Context features added.
2. Press Add Context to My App to add your selected features. And will redirect you to App Signing.

The technology behind Add Context to My App has two major elements – (1) a microservice architecture filled with 1000s of code sets needed for mobile integrations, and (2) an adaptive code generation engine that can recognize the development environment, frameworks and methods in each app and match the app to the relevant code-sets needed to customize your mobile app in seconds.
