Dell ThinOS 10.x App Builder User's Guide

Introduction

App Builder is a ThinOS feature that enables the creation, customization, and deployment of Customer-Installed (CI) application packages. It provides a secure and controlled environment for integrating third-party or custom applications into ThinOS 10.x devices (version 2508 or later). App Builder is available exclusively in Enhanced Mode, which unlocks advanced capabilities such as certificate-based security, application packaging, and extended customization options.

CI packages that are created with App Builder can be deployed using Wyse Management Suite (WMS) or Admin Policy Tool (APT), depending on the management strategy. App Builder supports two deployment modes:

• Isolated Mode (Recommended)—Runs applications in a sandboxed environment to ensure system stability and security.
• Native Mode—Runs applications directly on the ThinOS operating system. This mode requires whitelisting and is appropriate only for trusted, production-ready applications.
