2.4 Mobile Requirements

You can download a native application for your iPhone, iPad, Android, or BlackBerry device. These applications have a more polished user interface and don’t require you to sign in each time you access Vibe. However, the mobile app for Vibe does not store information on your device; information can be viewed only when you have an Internet connection.

Other devices can access the Vibe mobile interface by using a mobile browser that meets the requirements listed in Section 2.4.2, Mobile Browser Requirements.

2.4.1 Mobile App Requirements

Novell Vibe mobile apps are available for the following mobile operating systems:

  • iOS (native application is available for both the iPhone and iPad for a free download in the Apple App Store--for iOS 6 or later)

  • Android (native application is available for a free download in the Google Play App Store--formerly known as the Android Market--for Android 2.2 or later)

  • Kindle Fire (native application is available for a free download in the Amazon Appstore for Android)

  • BlackBerry Z10 and PlayBook (native application is available for a free download in the BlackBerry World store)

Ensure that your device’s browser meets the requirements that are discussed in Section 2.4.2, Mobile Browser Requirements.

2.4.2 Mobile Browser Requirements

To access Vibe from a browser on a mobile device, your device’s browser must support:

  • HTML 4

  • JavaScript

NOTE:The BlackBerry Curve has issues with JavaScript, so it does not work with the Vibe mobile interface. For more information, see Your BlackBerry Curve Does Not Work with the Mobile Interface in Troubleshooting in the Novell Vibe 3.4 User Guide.
