The AEM Mobile Apps Catalog displays all of your mobile apps managed in AEM. Think of this catalog as the "landing page" for AEM Mobile, where administrators are able to start a new AEM Mobile application by either creating based off of a template, or uploading an existing app already started by a mobile developer.
Content can be created, updated and deleted in AEM Mobile in much the same way you do the same within AEM Sites. The Manage Content Tile displays the number of pages of managed content and last modified. You can drill-into content to create, copy, move, delete and update pages by clicking on each record in the tile. Once content has been updated, you can push a content update to your customers through the Content Release Tile.
Once you have added or modified your content through the Manage Content Tile, you are able to push those changes out to your customers with a Content Release update.
Content Release allows the AEM App Author to manage page content in AEM and, have your development team make changes to your PhoneGap Shell Application (i.e. app framework or infrastructure) and then push those changes out to your customers quickly and without needing to enlist a developer to resubmit to the varios stores for distribution.
Content Release creates a ZIP file, considered a Content Release Package, for each update. These packages contain html resources and html pages that are generated while rendering the app and is intelligent enough to only package those files that have be modified since the last update.
The Content Release Tile Type column will display either 'App' to signify Application Shell content, for example framework or infrastructure of the app managed by a developer or, 'Content' which represents page content managed by the content author.
The Status column shows when content changes are pending and a new content update is required.
