Steps to setup/install MPOS in an iOS device

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by SnehaS

Hello guys,

Can someone please help me with the steps to start setup and install MPOS on an iOS device.

I did read the MS document.

I've completed the pre-requisites and setups, also created a new device with application type = Retail Modern POS - iOS.

I'm not sure why the download options are disabled.

    Hi Sneha,

    What register settings and application type are set for the device?

    Does the Download button appear if you click Save on the form

    Thank you in advance.

    To use the mpos on ios you have to first make the hybrid app and on this hybrid app you have to register the CPOS url.

    Also required SSL certificate to register this app.

    follow the below steps

    Setup and install Xamarin on iOS

    1. Download and install Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/, and add your Apple ID as described on Adding Your Account to XCode (apple.com).
    2. Download and install Xamarin by following the instructions on Installing and Configuring Xamarin.iOS (xamarin.com).
    3. Once you have completed installing Xamarin on both the Windows and Mac computers, follow the instructions on Connecting to the Mac (xamarin.com) so that you can work with iOS and the Mac from Visual Studio on the Windows computer.
    4. From the Build Take Retail SDK folder and Open SampleExtensions\HybridApp\iOS\ solution.

    After connecting to mac and building the application in Visual Studio, we need to select the iOS device type and deploy the app on selected device.

    1. Launch the MPos app, you should be able to login and activate the device.

    @TodB I know this is an old thread but I am interested whether the "download modern pos" button is intended to be working for iOS at all?? You as a MSTF engineer should know that right? I only know the (quite complex) solution pointed out above.

    If there is a way to donwload an already compiled IPA file like it is written here, I would really love to know: 

    Run the installer on any other device (Windows Phone, Google Android device, or Apple iOS device)

    1. If the application wasn't downloaded directly to the device, transfer the downloaded app file and the associated configuration file to the same folder on the device. Depending on the type of device, the app file will be an APPX, APK, or IPA file.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Michael,

    Incorrect information removed.

    Hi Todd,

    thanks for your answer! Could you please elaborate a little bit more on how you would assign the app to the register? I did not find an upload functionality when I was checking our environment which is on v16.

    Could you maybe also let me know why we have to compile the app ourselves and MSTF is not providing us with the IPA file straight away?


    Thank you!

    Hi Michael,

    Sorry for the confusion.

    I found out that the initial information I received was incorrect.

    In testing, if you set a Device to the "Retail Modern POS - iOS" application type, the package field where you would pick the self service installer to download disappears; and the download option is grayed out.

    Therefore, downloading of the iOS app from D365 is not possible.

    For other devices, the answer would be to upload the installer to LCS and synchronize them to D365, but that doesn't apply to the hybrid app (iOS / Android).

    Set up POS hybrid app on Android and iOS

    docs.microsoft.com/.../hybridApp

    I have no information as to why a built hybrid app is not shipped; and would recommend you enter this as a product suggestion on the Ideas portal:

    experience.dynamics.com/.../

    A similar idea found on the portal is:

    Add CPOS as a Hybrid App in Apple AppStore

    Hi All, 

    Thanks for the post! I could successfully launch the Hybrid App on Android tablet. But stuck with an issue with Hybrid App on iPad.

    I have added the retail server url to the tursted sites, still it does not authenticate,

    Below is the error message,
