I was pleasantly surprised when I received this message from Moodle:
https://moodle.com/2017/07/05/introducing-moodle-desktop-now-available-download-windows-store/
But where can I find the docs to set this up? Only message I get when starting the APP and trying to log in is the message that it can not connect to my Moodle site...
by Joris Moodle.
Yes I was so happy to see that message as well! Tested in straight away and it works super nicely! @Richard: are you able to connect using Moodle Mobile on iOS or Android? What version of Moodle are you running? Did you 'Enable web services for mobile devices' ?
by Margaret Matthias.
Did you find out anything yet? Every time I attempt to download I get file not found error?

Douglass, I'm having the same issue: custom moodle app, using the custom Apple Bundle ID, custom app name for GCM, reset the access token on the Airnotifier server- nothing - no love.
It seems that only the "stock" original app id "com.moodle.moodlemobile" works. Its the only id that seems to get entered into the mdl_user_devices table or mdl_message_airnotifier_devices table. Very strange. Anyone have any ideas?

How cool! I just downloaded it and it's fantastic!
Will it be available for customization in the future, like Moodle Mobile?
Awesome work! Congratulations!

Hey John! I got mine to work.
I did it this way:
1 - GCM and Apple Push Notifications
First, I defined what would be the Bundle ID. Lets say: com.douglasrosa.elapp
So, I created a new project in the Google Developer Console, reporting as ID com.douglasrosa.elapp.
After that, I created the application in the Apple developer account again, using the Bundle ID: com.douglasrosa.elapp (later, I generated all the certificates needed to use push notifications, as the installation tutorial for Airnotifier indicates) .
2 - Airnotifier
It is very important that the version of Airnotifier installed is exactly the one indicated by Juan in one of the guides, the branch must be moodle2. If it is not the same installation, you will have problems later.
In Airnotifier, I created a new application. The name was com.douglasrosa.elapp and the shortname comdouglasrosaealpp.
I entered the data for the GCM (ID and API Key I created in the first step). I inserted the certificates generated by Apple and started the server.
Then, I created a token with all the permissions, to use later in the Moodle configuration.
3 - Moodle
In Moodle, in addition to enabling all the necessary Webservice options, I configured the application access for Airnotifier Server (Admin -> Plugins -> Messages Outputs -> Mobile). Server address, port, app unique name (com.douglasrosa.elapp) and the short name (comdouglasrosaelapp). So I used the access key I created on the Airnotifier.
In the database tables: user_devices and message_airnotifier_devices I have removed all the records.
4 - Moodle Mobile
In the application, I've changed the places that uses the application's default name. The changes were in config.json, where app_id: com.douglasrosa.elapp) and config.xml, where I modified the widget_id = "com.douglasrosa.elapp".
I also entered in the settings the new Sender ID for GCM, project that I created in the Google Developer Console in step 1.
Even then it still was not working, so I added the phonegap-plugin-push plugin to the project:
cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push --variable SENDER_ID = "XXXXXXX"
(To install this plugin, you already have to have installed the COCOA in the project for iOS, in case you are planning to launch for both platforms, if you have not added yet, it will give you an error)
For iOS release notifications to work, I followed the steps in the normal installation guide and then linked the project to my Apple developer account via XCODE.
And then, after that, it started working.

Hello!
MY colleague and I use Moodle with great success in our self-directed chemistry class. We make extensive use of quizzes of all sizes for assessment. Our larger topic assessments are all password protected. Every time kids take one of these they bring their iPad to us and we enter the password for them so we control the testing conditions. Anyway, when we try this same idea using the Moodle mobile app once we enter the password it then doesn't need to be entered for their next attempts. Is there a way to make the mobile app require a quiz password every time a student attempts a quiz? If not, no worries. I am just wonderig if I am missing something here. Thanks!

Hi Valery,
the CAS plugin works perfectly but we've seen that some customizations are not working as expected because some times important lines are changed or some values are harcoded.
Can you send me via private message or to mobile@moodle.com the url of your site? If local_mobile is installed there I can do a quick test to check if the cas plugin is working as expected

Hi,
I just added this page in the FAQ https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Moodle_Mobile_FAQ#SSO_is_not_working_with_my_custom_auth_plugin explaining what may be happening.
Juan
by Lewis Miskowicz.
Thanks for the response. At least I know now. If it ever does make the cut that would be great. Otherwise using a web browser still does the trick. Thanks for all your work!

Hi Juan
I will prepare some test data and available test plants.
We were just commenting upon the topic with Martin at last French MoodleMoot.
Our academic deployment is at the moment (for this year) still running moodle 3.1 as we have a big set of plugins to check for upper branches and focussing around 700.000 students upon 510 moodle instances.
Cheers !

Our first deployment in PACA (Nice Aix Marseille) has 170 instances
Our testing instance, fully functionnal is :
https://lgt-atrium-13008-moodle-recette.atrium-paca.fr
I send you typical test user credential in private message.
local_mobile is installed and enabled.
The platform runs an auth/casent CAS based plugin wich changes some details on logout. It keeps the authCAS=CAS / authCAS=NOCAS mechanism and the $SESSION->wantsurl handling.
I will next foward you our second deployment target over 340 intances

Hi,
I would like to add a Menu item, such as "Share with others"
This is a very standard feature in any App.
Which should open Possible Sharing Applications:
-etc
Can we achieve this using - "Custom menu items" features?
If not, please guide me how to implement this.
Thank you
Regards

Many thanks Juan,
I have checked the user quota and it has the default value from the installation entered in. When I imported all the users I did not set a language, just a locale. I will check the database when I'm back in the office.
Again, thanks for your help.
Oliver.

Hello,
Recently I've been experimenting with customizing the language strings for Moodle Mobile. So far I've had mixed results depending on the language string identifier. For example, I was able to customize "Back" in the app header by adding mm.core.back|戻|ja to the custom language strings area of Site administration/Mobile app/Mobile features. However, when I attempted to customize "Submit" in the Lesson module by adding mma.mod_lesson.submit|次|ja it didn't work.
I tried refreshing the page, logging out of the app, and deleting and reinstalling the app. None of these things had any effect.
I got the language string identifier from the list located here. Is there something I've done wrong?

Thanks Dani! you know when is expected in the roadmap?

Hi ysrrael,
Unfortunately our core team do not have the resources here to help people use the open source code version to build custom apps. We provide a service where we can customise the app for anyone who needs it including the Push notifications (Airnotifier) service management. This service helps fund the improvement of the app in general: https://moodle.com/mobileapp/
Cheers,
Berta
