To finish, you'll find below some common problems or questions you might have while using iCustom :
- Form validation errors
If you have validation errors during your shortcut configuration, this means that I think that you didn't configure your app shortcut correctly.
I STRONGLY advise you to correct the errors before continue to the next step.
- Your app doesn't launch?
If the shortcut you add on your home screen doesn't launch your app :
- Check that you have the choosen app installed on your device
- Check if the app is in the state (these apps were added by the user's community and may not have been correctly tested)
- For apps with options : Check if you made a mistake in the options (wrong URL for browsers, wrong phone number, ...)
- In "Manual (custom scheme)" mode : check that you didn't made a mistake in the URL scheme you set
- Safari usage
You MUST use Safari mobile browser to use iCustom and have the ability to add a shortcut on your home screen.
- Javascript usage
You MUST activate Javascript technology on Safari to use iCustom and generate the app shortcut correctly on the next step.
- Configuration profile
iCustom adds the generated shortcut to your homescreen using the iOS configuration profiles mechanisms. You must accept its installation to get your shortcut on your homescreen.
This is safe as these profiles only contains informations about how to add a "webclip" (a shortcut) on your homescreen
- Remove a shortcut / icon
Simply long tap the icon and tap the little cross on its top-right corner, like for any other iOS app on your homescreen.
To completely and safely remove the shortcut from your device, remove its configuration profile from the Settings app > General > profiles
