Find information for developers who work with wrapped apps. Identify what methods and libraries to use with app wrapping and application management. You can also find information about various MADP vendors that Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM has partnered for wrapping functionality. Finally, identify iOS APIs that you use and see if the Tunnel can meet your needs as an app wrapping alternative.

Mobile App Development Platform, MADP Support
A mobile app development platform (MADP) is a system that attempts to reduce the development effort for creating mobile applications. Workspace ONE UEM has partnered with various MADP vendors to ensure wrapping functionality on applications developed with the platform.
| Vendor | Certification Status | Certification Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adobe Phonegap | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Phonegap. |
| Appcelerator | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Appcelerator. |
| Cordova | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Cordova-based platforms. |
| IBM Worklight | Certified | Wrapping succeeds with applications developed using IBM Worklight. |
| Kony | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Kony. |
| MicroStrategy | Use supported configurations from the AppConfig Community or use the SDK instead of wrapping. Due to partner integration with Microstrategy, the app developer manually includes the SDK into the project for Workspace ONE UEM specific functionalities. For example, App Tunneling and App Authentication (Passcode and Username/Password). | |
| Oracle MAF Mobile | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Oracle MAF Mobile. |
| Pegasystems Antenna | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Pegasystems Antenna. |
| Salesforce Touch Platform | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using the Salesforce Touch Platform. |
| SAP | Certified | Wrapping succeeds with applications developed using SAP. |
| Sencha | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Sencha. |
| Telerik | Certified | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Telerik. |
| Xamarin | Certified (with caveats ) | Wrapping functions with applications developed using Xamarin. Implement the ModernHttpClient library. See https://github.com/paulcbetts/ModernHttpClient for more information. Caution: For iOS apps, wrapping is not supported if Xamarin Insights is used because this addition can cause a failure to start. The Insights library is used for failure reporting and the SDK. The SDK also has a code for reporting that the SDK system injects into the app during the time of wrapping. The two together can conflict and cause a failure. |
