Does sharepoint 2013 support iPad?

Question

there are more and more users start to use iPad, so does sharepoint 2013 support iPad? I know there are some issues on SharePoint 2010.

Answer 1

SharePoint 2013 renders properly in all major browsers including Safari (hence Ipad); there might be some issues in the preview that will be ironed out in the final release.  Regards

Answer 2

so, finally, SharePoint 2013 will suport iPad, is it true?

if true, do we need to design specific pages for iPad or same pages as viewing by PC?

Thanks.

Answer 3

Note that there could be some differences. For example, PCs running Microsoft Office had a richer upload experience in 2010 and there were differences even amongst the most popular browsers. (I'll be testing that soon on the 2013 preview.) This is why some ISVs (e.g., Colligo) put out iPad apps for SharePoint.

Thanks, I know if I want to create or edit on iPad, I need to install specific Apps, but is it true that iPad safari browser could demonstrate SharePoint 2013 pages normally  . I think there are some problems of SharePoint 2010. 

Answer 5

I have tried it already and it displayed as if it is a mobile and not full page, unless you switch to PC View

I will try to post here a screen shot once I go home.

Mai, please send screenshots also please check with different site templates

It should work with SP15 if Safari is the latest version.

Answer 8

As mentioned by others on here, Colligo Networks, a Microsoft Partner, provides an application for iOS that allows users to access SharePoint 2013 (or 2010 or 2007) from their iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.  This also includes offline capability, as many users want to access their content from their device without having to connect to the network every time.  SkyDrive Pro provides this on Windows with SharePoint 2013, and this is a great companion app for providing that on iOS devices.

The other problem with just accessing SharePoint from iPad native in the browser is you don't get the true "native" iOS touch experience.

Answer 9

Hi TravorAtColligo,

I just saw it on apps, I will install and try it.

I don't know but it might be wrong place to ask this question, but I don't know another way to tell you.

Could I blog about Colligo app for SharePoint after I try it?

Regards.
