I have installed MAF application (described and available for download here: MAF 2.1 Alta Mobile UI and Oracle Mobile Suite) on iPad device, iOS 8 and would like to share couple of tips and tricks about it. I was installing on iPhone/iPad previous MAF versions (it was called ADF Mobile) - ADF Mobile - Live on iPhone Device. It is always forth to read Oracle Developer guide for MAF - 27.4.2 How to Deploy an Application to an iOS-Powered Device.
You would need to get Apple Development Provisioning Profile (this costs around $100), in order to be able to install MAF application on iPad device for testing. Provisioning Profile creation process is streamlined in iOS 8 and is simple to follow. Here is the example of our Apple Development Provisioning Profile entry, this can be download and installed on Mac OS with one click:
Sample MAF application I'm going to deploy is connecting to the REST service. Make sure to set proper IP address for the REST connection entry in MAF. IP must point to the Service Bus service with published REST connection:
JDeveloper 12c is fetching Provisioning Profile information automatically. You only need to copy paste Common Name from iOS development certificate into Signing Identity field (created and registered during Provisioning Profile creation process):
Make sure to specify the same Application Bundle Id prefix as the one registered in Provisioning Profile. Documentation states you can test MAF application on iPhone/iPad device only in Debug mode, however this is not true - it works fine in Release mode as well:
Thats it with configuration. Choose to deploy MAF application into IPA distribution package:
IPA distribution package file must be generated in deploy folder. Double click on it and it will get installed into iTunes:
Open iPhone/iPad section in iTunes and go to the App category. You should see your new MAF application listed there. Click on Install button and then press Synch - this will install application into the device:
Application is successfully loaded and dashboard screen is displayed. Service Bus provides REST data to the MAF application running on the iPad, data is rendered in Tree Map graph (MAF component):
User could switch to Employees screen:
Alta UI look and feel - we could search for employees and browse through a list with shortcuts:
Switch to cards view, instead of default list view:
Select employee who is a manager:
Pie graph with compensation of managed employees is displayed:
List of managed employees is also present:
I have tested AirPlay and connected iPad with Mac. This is useful to display iPad screen on projector, when you want to demonstrate your app to the audience. AirPlay synchronisation works pretty well, without configuration headache (you may require additional utility application for this). You must enable mirroring on your iPad device:
We are getting iPad screen view on the Mac. This is pretty useful for the presentations and demos:

Hi Andrejus, thanks for your post and helpfull. I did a project in ADF and you help me a lot, I'm introducing in MAF now.
I have a question, but it is not related as this post. In MAF, it's possible doing the screen is always on when the application is run? or need a third application?
Thanks!
Regards,
Alfre.
Hi Andrejus,
To deploy the MAF application on test devices, the device IDs have to be registered with the provisioning profile?
Thanks,
Ashok
