How to install / run Mobile Suite Demo app?

[Vibhor]

Hello,

Before buying vBulletin Mobile Suite, I would like to test it on my (3.8) board to check how it functions and looks.

I have followed a few threads about testing demo app on this forum (Link 1 and Link 2) but I still cannot figure it out.

I have downloaded the Android package from Link 1 but it doesn't have an .apk file inside.

Please let me know what exactly do I need to do after downloading the Android demo app. Clear step-by-step instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

vB3 doesnt have the mobile api by default. Sorry, the test apps are only inteded for 4.1.3 or newer.

Oops. That means I cannot test vBulletin Mobile Suite on my forum?

Does vBulletin Mobile Suite works on vBulletin 3.8 if I install it after purchasing?

If yes, are there any example of forums running Mobile app. on 3.8 so that I can have a look.

You can see the features and abilities here:

https://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=mobile

It notes that:

vBulletin Forum Classic (supports version 3.7.5+ to 3.8.x & 4.1.2+) and Publishing Suite (supports version 4.1.2+)

I don't know of a vb3.8 forum with a mobile suite personally. However, the application looks and functions the same except that it won't have the publisher suite features that are present in vb4 Suite versions.

You would also need to install the Mobile API for v3 forums that you can get from the members area after you have purchased the Mobile Suite.

Also, as a kind reminder, for iOS you will also need to create and pay for an Apple Developer's account ($99/year) as well as have or have access to a MacOS machine to compile and publish the iOS version of the mobile suite. A lot of people seem to not read the fine print about this part...
