Acceptance testing for the Moodle App
In order to run tests that carry out automated functionality testing for the Moodle App, you can write Acceptance tests. This can be useful if you want to test plugins that are compatible with the app, or you're contributing to the app core. Behat tests for the app work the same way as tests for Moodle core, but they are not run as part of a normal Behat execution and there are some differences that we'll go through in this page.
Accepting dynamic names in a Web Service
We want to display a form where the names of the fields are dynamic, like it happens in quiz. This data will be sent to a new Web Service that we have created.
Applying accessibility on the Moodle App
Screen readers
Creating mobile course formats
Course format plugins can be supported in the app using the CoreCourseFormatDelegate.
Custom Moodle Apps
Unfortunately, the core team does not have the resources to help people use the open source code to build custom apps.

Overview
Moodle App Development Guide
This document contains information that developers should know before starting to code on the Mobile App. If you are only interested in developing a site plugin, you should read the Moodle App Plugins development guide instead.
Moodle App Development process
The development of new features and improvements in the Moodle App is organised in the following six phases:
Moodle App Docker Images
Moodle HQ provides a couple of Docker images that contain the Moodle App ready for use. You can search all the available versions in Docker Hub.

Moodle App Overview
The Moodle App is a mobile application that helps users make the best of their Moodle sites on handheld devices. It has some additional features like offline access, and a dedicated interface adapted to mobile. It's focused on student functionality, so you won't find all the features you have on the web for teachers and admins. You can learn more about the features available in the user documentation.
Moodle App Plugins Development Guide
If you want to add mobile support to your Moodle plugin, you can achieve it by extending different areas of the app using just PHP server side code and providing templates written with Ionic and custom components.
Moodle App Plugins Upgrade Guide
In the following guide, you will learn how to upgrade your plugins to support newer versions of the app.

In the following guide, you will learn how to migrate your styles from an older version of the app.
Moodle App Scripts: gulp push
The gulp push command automatically pushes a branch to a git remote and then updates the corresponding Moodle Tracker (Jira) issue with the diff URL or a patch file, similar to mdk push -t. This script was developed using mdk as an example. It's meant to be used for MOBILE issues, so it will only update the "master" fields in the tracker.

Sending custom Push Notifications to the Moodle App
There are two ways to send custom Push Notifications to the Moodle app users:
Setting up your development environment for the Moodle App
The structure of this page is the following:
Troubleshooting Moodle App Plugins Development
Invalid response received
Troubleshooting when setting up your development environment for the Moodle App
This page contains a list of common errors that have been found and how to solve them. However, keep in mind that these may be platform-dependent and could not fix the problem in your machine, even if you are seeing the same error message.
Unit testing for the Moodle App
Unit tests are written in JavaScript using Jest. If you want to create a new one, Jest is already configured and you only need to create a file ending with .test.ts within the project. If you're going to do so, remember to follow the file location conventions.
Using the Moodle App in a browser
Browsers are not officially supported by the application, but you can use a Chromium-based browser for development if you don't need any native functionality.
