How to use existing content for mobile apps in AEM

Avatar

Level 1

I would like to take an existing web site that I have created in AEM and be able to turn it into an app that users can download and run the website offline.

Is there a way to do this with out having to recreate the whole site as an app in AEM 6?

If you're building a mobile application using Adobe PhoneGap Enterprise, check out Bruce Lefebvre's kitchen sink sample on github.com: https://github.com/blefebvre/aem-phonegap-kitchen-sink. This sample makes use of a previous version of the the Adobe PhoneGap ContentSync plugin (https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-contentsync) to pull ContentSync zip files from the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) publish server based on timestamps (get only the latest up-to-date content).  He'll be migrating it to the latest version shortly.  This allows the mobile app to pull content into the app quickly and in bulk from the server and save it locally so the app can then be offline and take advantage of that content you've prepared.

There is not a tool that will convert an existing site into a mobile site automatically. Best thing to do is to look through the AEM Mobile documentation:

I tried using content sync. I selected my content and downloaded the zip file, but that is where the instructions stop. What do I do with the zip file?
