hello

i want to host the web.mvc project on iis so that user can do data entry from there as they will use their laptop or tablet, i also want to deploy the mobile app please point me to a document that helps me achieve this

also , can it be done on a single server VPS, to deploy both this apps that is web.mvc and mobile , as one can be directly published to IIS but the other runs from command prompt start-host.

please advise.

regards Anwar

    Hi @avanekar02,

    MVC application can be deployed to IIS, you can follow this document <a class="postlink" href="https://aspnetzero.com/Documents/Step-by-step-publish-to-azure-core-mvc">https://aspnetzero.com/Documents/Step-b ... e-core-mvc</a>. It is for Azure but same steps are applied for IIS deployment.

    For your Mobile application, you have two options;

    1. You can publish to Google Play of Apple Store For Google Play: <a class="postlink" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/deploy-test/publishing/publishing-to-google-play/?tabs=vswin">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamari ... tabs=vswin</a> For Apple Store: <a class="postlink" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app-distribution/app-store-distribution/publishing-to-the-app-store?tabs=vsmac">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamari ... tabs=vsmac</a>

    2. You can place your apk file on your server and share it's link with your users

    <a class="postlink" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/deploy-test/publishing/publishing-independently">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamari ... ependently</a>

    @avanekar02 yes but your MVC application on IIS must be open to internet. Then you can access to your MVC application from your mobile application via an IP Adreess or a domain name if you want to use a domain name for your MVC application.

    @avanekar02 it depends on your needs. If you only want your company users to use your mobile application, you can use an public IP adress. Otherwise, a domain might be a better choice.
