Which Azure App Service to use for iOS App Creation?

Question

Microsoft Azure's Mobile App creation will be removed from the Azure Platform on November 11th 2019, and it is now advising to use Web App instead. But, does the "Web App" support all the functionalities of "Mobile App"? What configuration changes are necessary in "Web App" to make it usable for Mobile App development? What is the best method/module/service to use for iOS app creation on Azure?

Answer 1

Thanks for asking question! Yes, you are right as mentioned here Mobile menu in the Azure portal will be removed on November 11, 2019. Kindly go through this link https://azure.github.io/AppService/2019/07/25/Removing-Easy-Tables-and-Easy-APIs-from-Azure-App-Services.html for alternate ways of managing Easy tables and easy APIs.

Hey,

Just checking in if you have had a chance to see the previous response. Let me know if you have any other question on this.

Answer 3

Hi, Thank you for your response. But, we are not using Node.js as backend. The backend is in ASP.NET MVC. Will that still work?

Answer 4

Thanks for the reply! As its mentioned in the above link only Easy table and Easy API will be removed along with Mobile menu, which is used if using Node.js as backend but if using .NET as backend then it is not used.

Thank You! As suggested by you, we have configured the app following the documentation. But, we are getting following error when trying to connect to the database;

Answer 7

Reason for this could be a wrong config. Appname seems wrong and based on Cookie it should be polyintegrated.
