==============



As announced in Bob Stutz's blog post, we’re thrilled to announce several updates to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Mobile SDK, to help you tailor your custom mobile CRM solutions. The release includes new Mobile SDK class libraries for Android and iOS to help create native mobile apps with Dynamics CRM. These class libraries build on the foundation of the Activity Tracker sample apps that were released for Dynamics CRM in December and expand their functionality to include compatibility with all out-of-the-box entities as well as custom entities.

We are also excited to announce the Azure Mobile Connector SDK for Dynamics CRM Online in partnership with the Azure team, providing advanced functionality such as mobile offline sync in an easier fashion for developers.

The Mobile App Development Portal is also being released today. It will be the central hub for all future mobile development announcements and includes a specific discussion channel on the Mobile App Development Forum.

Azure Mobile Connector SDK

Azure Mobile Apps provide a lightweight, yet fully customizable, offline sync feature. Azure has partnered with the Dynamics CRM team to release the Azure Mobile App Connector SDK for Dynamics CRM Online:

• Azure App Service for your mobile backend: connect to Dynamics CRM Online with a great DevOps experience
• Azure Mobile client SDKs: built-in offline sync capabilities and integration with Azure Active Directory

Getting Started with Azure Mobile Connector SDK

Try out the tutorial for setting up the Activity Logger pre-built app. You can use an existing Dynamics CRM Online tenant and Azure subscription, or sign up for a free trial of CRM and free trial of Azure.

The tutorial will walk you through the steps to provision a Mobile Service and configure it with Azure Active Directory for delegated access. Then, you also configure the pre-built client with AAD.
