Building and emulating apps
Having defined Native Application Settings, you can now package your open (and saved) page as an Android app. Moreover, if you are on a Mac, as an iOS app for either iPhone, iPad, or both.
When you installed the SDKs for Android and/or iOS, you also installed emulation software that replicates how apps will run in the target environments. It is hard to imagine a situation where you will not want to emulate and test your app immediately after generating it. In addition, you can (by choosing Site | Mobile Applications | Build and Emulate).
If you don't want to emulate your app(s), then you can simply choose Site | Mobile Applications | Build, to build, but not emulate the app.
When you select Site | Mobile Applications | Build and Emulate, a submenu provides options for each SDK you installed. If you installed the full set, on a Mac, then that set of options is iPhone, iPad, and Android, as shown in the following screenshot:
