Abstract

Implementations include a method, system, and apparatus for receiving, from a user communicably connected to a network, a selection of one or more gateway service data categories; receiving, from the user, a selection of an operating platform of a mobile device operable to be communicably connected to the network; generating a configuration file comprising a selection of gateway service data associated with one or more gateway service data categories and the operating platform selection; generating a data store file and a development library associated with the operating platform selection; transferring the configuration file, the data store file, and the development library to a repository communicably connected to the network; and generating an application template comprising the configuration file, the data store file, and the development library, wherein the mobile application is developed on the mobile device from the application template while the mobile device is communicably disconnected from the network.

Claims

1-30. -30. (canceled)

31. A method performed with a computing system for developing a mobile application, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user communicably connected to a network, a selection of one or more gateway service data categories;

receiving, from the user, a selection of an operating platform of a mobile communication device operable to be communicably connected to the network;

generating gateway service data associated with one or more gateway service data categories and the operating platform selection;

transferring the gateway service data to a repository communicably connected to the network; and

generating an application template comprising the gateway service data for development of a mobile application on a mobile communication device that is communicably decoupled from the network.

32. The method of claim 31, further comprising:

receiving, from the user, a request for the application template; and

exporting the application template from the repository to the mobile communication device while the mobile communication device is communicably connected to the network.

33. The method of claim 32, wherein exporting the application template from the repository to the mobile communication device comprises exporting the application template from the repository to the mobile communication device through an application development environment.

34. The method of claim 32, further comprising:

receiving, via the network, a synchronization request from the mobile application developed on the mobile communication device from the application template; and

in response to the synchronization request, exporting updated gateway service data to the mobile communication device.

35. The method of claim 34, wherein exporting gateway service data to the mobile communication device comprises exporting substantially all of the gateway service data associated with the selected one or more gateway service data categories to the mobile communication device.

36. The method of claim 34, wherein receiving the synchronization request comprises receiving a request from the mobile communication device for a data table of a plurality of data tables within the gateway service data, the method further comprising:

generating the gateway service data comprising the requested data table.

37. The method of claim 31, further comprising:

receiving, from the user, a selection of one or more database functionalities from a plurality of database functionalities; and

generating at least a portion of the gateway service data including the selection of one or more database functionalities.

38. An apparatus comprising instructions embodied on a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media, the instructions operable when executed to cause a computing system to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a user communicably connected to a network, a selection of one or more gateway service data categories;

receiving, from the user, a selection of an operating platform of a mobile communication device operable to be communicably connected to the network;

generating gateway service data associated with one or more gateway service data categories and the operating platform selection;

transferring the gateway service data to a repository communicably connected to the network; and

generating an application template comprising the gateway service data for development of a mobile application on a mobile communication device that is communicably decoupled from the network.

39. The apparatus of claim 38, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, from the user, a request for the application template; and

exporting the application template from the repository to the mobile communication device while the mobile communication device is communicably connected to the network.

40. The apparatus of claim 39, wherein exporting the application template from the repository to the mobile communication device comprises exporting the application template from the repository to the mobile communication device through an application development environment.

41. The apparatus of claim 39, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, via the network, a synchronization request from the mobile application developed on the mobile communication device from the application template; and

in response to the synchronization request, exporting updated gateway service data to the mobile communication device.

42. The apparatus of claim 41, wherein exporting gateway service data to the mobile communication device comprises exporting substantially all of the gateway service data associated with the selected one or more gateway service data categories to the mobile communication device.

43. The apparatus of claim 42, wherein receiving the synchronization request comprises receiving a request from the mobile communication device for a data table of a plurality of data tables within the gateway service data, the method further comprising:

generating the gateway service data comprising the requested data table.

44. The apparatus of claim 38, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, from the user, a selection of one or more database functionalities from a plurality of database functionalities; and

generating at least a portion of the gateway service data including the selection of one or more database functionalities.

45. A system of one or more computers configured to perform operations, comprising

receiving, from a user communicably connected to a network, a selection of one or more gateway service data categories;

receiving, from the user, a selection of an operating platform of a mobile communication device operable to be communicably connected to the network;

generating gateway service data associated with one or more gateway service data categories and the operating platform selection;

transferring the gateway service data to a repository communicably connected to the network; and
