Setup enterprise simulation mode

Enterprise Simulation mode in the
BlackBerry Dynamics SDK
 facilitates app development work ahead of a full deployment to the
BlackBerry Dynamics
 platform. It runs your app on an emulator (for example, one supplied with the
iOS
 SDK) to efficiently verify new or changing functionality and performance.
Enterprise Simulation mode should be used in development environments only. It is not intended for use in a production environment. In all cases, access to the
BlackBerry Dynamics NOC
 is required.
  1. In the
    Supporting Files
     folder in the
    Xcode
     project-navigator, open the associated
    .plist
     file.
    The prefix of the file you want reflects the project name. Thus, if you named your project
    FirstProject
    , for example, the
    .plist
     file is called
    FirstProject-Info.plist
    . The file consists of a number of key-value pairs, including type.
  2. Add a new row with a two-finger tap (right-click) in the file and select
    Add Row
    .
  3. Enter the following values in the new row:
    • Key:
      GDLibraryMode
    • Type:
      String (default)
    • Value:
      GDEnterpriseSimulation
Enterprise Simulation mode is now enabled for the app. If you need to return to the default authentication mode, simply delete the new row from the
.plist
 file. Its absence means that the application will process default enterprise authentication, which requires a fully deployed
BlackBerry Dynamics
 platform.
