    Hello,

    You can enable your entity by editing following option in entity setting

    If you are using Dynamics 365 app for Phone then you will be able to see Main form, but if you are using mobile express then you will be able to see mobile express form.

    I will suggest you to check this KB to see what will work or what won't work in Mobile app

    Hello,

    what is the difference between phone express and mobile.

    - Mobile express is the limited functionality, you don't have control on the form fields, you are accessing it from the mobile browser, mobile for Phone is app for Dynamics 365, which provides more flexibility and control . This should help you: community.dynamics.com/.../mobile-express-features-and-limitations

    and also in my queries i am concerned about the custom JavaScript code with alert messages.

    - If you will go through the link which I shared in my earlier response you will see:

    "If you use window.alert in your form scripts, the message you set will automatically be displayed using Xrm.Utility.alertDialog without a callback function specified, but this is temporary and is already considered deprecated. You should move any code using window.alert to use Xrm.Utility.alertDialog instead."

    also , will my plugin gets triggered from custom JavaScript code as usual from within the CRM - If you want to execute your plugin using javascript you can utilize Actions (technet.microsoft.com/.../dn531060.aspx) or you can apply a work around by creating a custom entity , here is the example: community.dynamics.com/.../how-to-trigger-a-plug-in-from-jscript-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm

    Hope it will help you.

    For IFrame & Web Resources, you can check this document. I remember there was a limitation to display HTML web resources but it seem sit is not the case any more with V9.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../iframe-web-resource-support-dynamics-365-phones-tablets

    Hope this helps.
