Installation of the Clients
The OX Sync App is available via the App Store of Android:
Note: OX Sync App was designed to work on Smartphones. In some rare cases devices with very large screens (greater than 5.6") might be recognized as tablets by the Play Store. In this case, OX Sync App will not show up and can not be installed on your device.
Integrated Branding/Customization Concept for Partners and Customers
When a user installs OX Sync App they are first presented with a list of preconfigured providers. After the user selects a provider the app is then automatically configured, and branded, for that provider.
Note: The OX Sync App will only work with the providers displayed on that list of providers.
Branding / Customization Process
In order to participate you will need to provide specific information such as:
- Confirmation that you are running OX App Suite 7.8.2 including the latest patch.
- A full URL where your OX App Suite service can be reached by a web client.
- Two test accounts on your OX App Suite service, where we can verify that the OX App Suite system works as expected.
- A “logo” and “name” of your service. This information will be used in the app itself.
- The General Design of OX Sync for Android is based on Google’s material design principles (https://material.google.com/). Not more than three colors are used. For the OX branded version we have chosen the following colors:
- Primary color: OX blue
- Secondary color: OX medium blue
- Accent color: OX mandarin
