    The download URL for WSO2 IoT Server is configured for HTTP by default. Although you can install Android mobile applications using this default configuration, to install iOS applications, you need to configure it for HTTPS as it's required for the iOS MDM protocol behavior.

    Follow the steps given below to configure WSO2 IoT Server to install iOS mobile applications:

    1. Open the <IoT_HOME>/conf/app-manager.xml file.

    2. Add %https% as the value for the AppDownloadURLHost property.

      Code Block
      <Config name="AppDownloadURLHost">%https%</Config>
      Tip

      To test WSO2 IoT Server App management features on Android devices, please use one of the following options:

      • Change the value of the AppDownloadURLHost property back to HTTP 
      • Continue using HTTPS to install applications on Android devices by Generating a BKS File for Android.

    Chris has now done the configurations needed to allow users to register and monitor their devices with WSO2 IoT Server. Chris then proceeds to configure iOS support in IoT Server.

  • Configuring the IP or hostname

    Thie This script automatically configures the IP and creates the required SSL certificates for the IP or hostname. This method is recommended because manually configuring the IP address includes many steps and if you miss out on a step you will run into errors.

    1. Navigate to the <IOTS_HOME>/scripts directory.

    2. Run the change-ip script.
      Example: Running the script on a Mac or Linux OS.

      Tip: The script will find and replace the IP address given in argument1 (localhost) with the IP address given as argument2 (10.10.10.14), in the necessary configuration files. 

      Code Block
      ./change-ip.sh

      1. Change the current IP address of the IoT Server core, broker, and analytics profile.

      2. Enter the values for IoT Server core SSL certificate.

    Tip

    If you are facing issues while configuring WSO2 IoT Server for iOS in your testing environment, contact us and we will help you out.

    After obtaining a signed CSR, the P2 repository, and the other files via email, Chris can install the specific features in the P2 repository that are required to enable iOS by following the instructions given below. 

    1. Download and extract the ios-feature-deployer that you received via email. 

    2. Copy the ios-feature-deployer folder to the <IOTS_HOME> directory.  

    3. Navigate inside the ios-feature-deployer folder on the terminal and execute the following command to install the iOS features to WSO2 IoT.  Agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) to complete the iOS configurations.

      Code Block
      cd ios-feature-deployer 
mvn clean install -f ios-feature-deployer.xml
      Tip
      titleTip by Chris

      Tip: To verify successful installation of the iOS features, do the following:

      Open the bundles.info file found in the <IOTS-HOME>/wso2/components/default/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator directory and verify if the following properties have changed from false to true .

      Code Block
      org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.api.utils,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.api.utils_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.apns,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.apns_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.core,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.core_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.payload,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.payload_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.plugin,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.plugin_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

      Once the ios-feature-deployer script has finished running, you can see the <IOTS_HOME>/ios-configurator directory that was created.

    4. Navigate inside the <IOTS_HOME>/ios-configurator directory and run the ios.sh script. 

      Code Block
      cd ios-configurator
sh ios.sh

    5. Enter the requested information when prompted. Be sure to provide the same information when configuring the iOS platform configurations.

      FieldUsage/Purpose
      CountryThe name of your country. Enter the two digit code for your country.
      StateThe state your organization is at.
      LocationThe city your organization is located at.

      Organization

      The name of your organization. For this scenario, we entered MobX.

      Organization UnitDefined the Team ID as the organization unit.

      Email

      The email is used to identify the existing users. For this scenario, we entered chris@mobx.com as the email.

      Commonname

      Fully qualified domain name of your server.


      This part of the script creates a key pair, generates a signature, and signs the key using the signature.

    6. Uncomment the APNSBasedPushNotificationProvider that is under the PushNotificationProviders configuration in the <IOTS_HOME>/conf/cdm-config.xml file.

      Code Block
      <PushNotificationProviders>
    <Provider>org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.extensions.push.notification.provider.mqtt.MQTTBasedPushNotificationProvider</Provider>
    <Provider>org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.extensions.push.notification.provider.xmpp.XMPPBasedPushNotificationProvider</Provider>
    <Provider>org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.extensions.push.notification.provider.gcm.GCMBasedPushNotificationProvider</Provider>
    <Provider>org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.mobile.impl.ios.apns.APNSBasedPushNotificationProvider</Provider>
</PushNotificationProviders>
    Note

    Make sure the <EnabledUpdateApi> parameter in the <IOTS_HOME>/conf/etc/webapp-publisher-config.xml file is set to false if you need to restart the server many times after configuring the IP.  This configuration is enabled when you run the ios.sh script.

    By enabling the update API property, the APIs and the respective web apps get updated when the server restarts. This takes some time. Therefore, if you need to restart the server many times after this configuration or when in a production environment, you need to revert back to the default setting.
