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.
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.

Course format plugins can be supported in the app using the CoreCourseFormatDelegate.
Unfortunately, the core team does not have the resources to help people use the open source code to build custom apps.

The Moodle App Coding Style guidelines
The Moodle App can be customised in different ways:
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.
The development of new features and improvements in the Moodle App is organised in the following six phases:
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.
How can I contribute to the Moodle App?
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.
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.
Starting with version 3.9.5, the Moodle App uses Ionic 5. As usual, we tried not to change our APIs and components to prevent breaking existing plugins. Unfortunately, Ionic 5 comes with a lot of breaking changes, especially related to templates. This means that plugins need to be adapted in order to look good in the new versions of the app.

How do Remote themes work?
In the following guide, you will find some examples to migrate your styles from an older version to work with the Ionic 5 Moodle App (starting at version 3.9.5). You will find tables where each row is a migration to do; the left part is the old code and the right part the new one.
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.
Version 1 was jQuery based with usage of Cordova.

There are two ways to send custom Push Notifications to the Moodle app users:

Invalid response received
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 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.
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.
