Apperian’s Publishing Partner Program delivers a number of benefits for anyone building mobile apps for the enterprise, including 1-Click app publishing for testing and rollout: whether for 5 or 50,000 users, Seamless integration with an 'enterprise app catalog' platform that hundreds of enterprises are already using and a consumer-like way of reaching users, Access to rich mobile app management capabilities that enable enterprises to manage and track app updates, apply security policies, manage testing, and track user feedback, Increased exposure for published apps to drive adoption with new users, which provides faster time-to-deployment and higher ROI, Integrated app signing that allows organizations to sign or re-sign iOS and Android apps for full enterprise distribution, or update existing apps with new credentials, User feedback capabilities that lets users post comments, ideas and report bugs quickly and easily, allowing development teams to manage beta cycles, proof of concepts and full app roll-outs.

AnyPresence Inc. launched its latest release with the industry's first auto-generation of iOS Storyboard and Android XML Layout, further reducing the time to bring mobile apps to market, and allowing developers to leverage official native tools for advanced customization. AnyPresence now enables users to quickly assemble a mobile app using common user interface patterns and widgets, driven by data from backend services, and generates pure native iOS and Android code from a single app definition. Unlike most mobile app development platforms, the code produced by AnyPresence is human-readable and editable in the development toolkits provided by Apple and Google. Coupled with existing support for HTML5 and a rich set of backend capabilities, AnyPresence provides a powerful accelerant to organizations looking to build enterprise mobile apps.
