Tips to create a mobile app with InDesign

 Thanks to technology, mobile apps are everywhere. Think of any famous brand, and it’s likely they have an app. Although businesses are at the forefront in making apps, thanks to their tremendous value, you can easily create your own mobile app using adobe in design.

• Create your mobile app Content in InDesign

• Export from InDesign using in5 (an InDesign add on for creating digital content) 

In5 takes your InDesign layout, animation, and interactivity and converts it into a sophisticated code describing web pages (HTML5). You can use any settings in in5 that you like, but the recommended one is the web output option.

• Use ConfiGAP to create a config file

First, use general settings and Point out the Source Directory to your in5 output. After that, add an icon for your app. Add splash screens for android and iOS and ensure that you deselect all plugins. Select a file and save the config file in the same directory with your in5 output.

• Package your files

Compact your config file, in5 output, and any other app assets such as splash screens and icon into a zip file.

• Upload to PhoneGap Build

Sign in using your existing Adobe ID to use the platform for free. Once signed in, create a new app and upload your zip file. Build your test app or add certificates to build your live app. PhoneGap immediately begins creating your apps, and you have it ready in a short while. Remember, ‘code signing certificates’ are required by all apps to identify developers when apps are submitted to stores.

Whether it’s for business or personal use, creating apps in InDesign doesn’t take much. In fact, you don’t need to be an IT specialist or master complicated programs to create your own app. Just follow these simple steps, and you are good
