You can export/backup all exportable app metadata records so you can either share them to another Appfigurate instance, or for safe keeping.
Enter a passphrase used to encrypt the app metadata records. The passphrase must be 8 to 64 characters in length. Tap the Backup button to continue.
The available output methods differ depending on your device type:
You can export app metadata record(s) to the console.
iOS: In macOS open Console.app. Select the iOS Simulator device in the left hand pane. Type process:appfigurate in the search box in the top right. Tap Start to start streaming events. Due to the length restrictions per log, you'll need to select all the Appfigurate x of y: records and paste them into a text editor.
Android: To view logs in Android Studio, open the logcat tool window, filter logs by nz.co.electricbolt.appfigurate. To view logs from the macOS command line, enter adb logcat | grep Appfigurate . You'll need to select all the Appfigurate: records and paste them into a text editor.
On a iOS Simulator, you can select a directory from the host macOS file system to store the resulting .apc file containing the encrypted app metadata record(s).
You can export app metadata record(s) to the iOS or Android clipboard. On an iOS Simulator or Android Emulator, the clipboard is shared with the macOS host.
On a device with an email account, you can email the resulting .apc file containing the encrypted app metadata record(s) to a recipient.
Tip: Don't send the passphrase in the same email as the .apc file.
On a device with a text messaging app, you can send the resulting .apc file containing the encrypted app metadata record(s) to a phone number.
On an iOS Simulator or physical device you can use system document picker to select a directory in the device's local file system or iCloud Drive to store the resulting .apc file containing the encrypted app metadata record(s).
The QR code option is available when exporting a single app metadata record. For best results, place the device on a flat stable surface, ensuring no bright overhead lights or reflections are visible on the screen. Another device with a camera can Import using QR code function.
On an iOS Simulator or physical device you can use the iOS Share Sheet to share or save the resulting .apc file containing the encrypted app metadata record(s).
On an Android Emulator or physical device you can use the system file picker to select a directory in the device's local file system to save the resulting .apc file containing the encrypted app metadata record(s).
