For example, the employees at MobX need to access the WSO2 website frequently. Therefore, the administrator decides to create a web clip so they can access the website in just one click.

  1. Navigate to the App Publisher using the following URL: https://<IoT_HOST>:9443/publisher

  2. Enter the username and password, and sign in.

  3. Click AddNew Mobile Application that is under the Mobile Application drop down.
  4. Enter the application details:

    The recommended image extension is .png while the recommended dimensions are as follows:
