Salesforce Announces New iOS Enterprise Apps

The world’s top customer relationship management company launched a new version of the Salesforce Mobile SDK as part of its association with Apple. This, in turn, will enable native applications for iPad and iPhone on the Salesforce platform. From now on, the Salesforce Mobile SDK will extend its support to the latest tools available in the Swift programming language of Apple.

Dan McCall, the Vice President of Product, remarked the Salesforce mobile app will bring the Customer 360 Platform of the company to the small screen. The app has been appreciated by more than 1,000 customers over the last year.

The key items outlined at Dreamforce 2019 were:

1. The redesigned CRM app – Salesforce Mobile App – will add Einstein artificial intelligence, analytics, and integration with seamless iOS features like Face ID, Siri, and Einstein Voice Assistant can take notes, update CRM records, and add tasks.
2. The Handoff feature of Apple that allows users to hop between different devices is also in Salesforce Mobile.
3. Trailhead GO is the first mobile application for the Trailhead learning platform. It will be made exclusively on iPadOS and iOS. More than 700 training modules will be made available on Trailhead GO including out-of-the-box iOS app development tools. Trailhead GO is built on Swift with the powerful yet sleek Mobile SDK of Salesforce.
4. Salesforce Mobile SDK is now optimized for iOS13 and Swift. Support for iPadOS, iOS13, and Swift includes Package Manager and Swift UI.
