How to build and Allowlist an Onboarded CI Application using ThinOS App Builder

This section outlines how to add a Customer Installed (CI) application to the allowlist in ThinOS Native Mode using ThinOS App Builder. The FabulaTech USB for Remote Desktop plugin is used as an example to demonstrate the process of enabling Enhanced Mode, packaging the .deb file, generating the CI package, and allowlisting it so it can run on the ThinOS client. The same workflow applies to any third‑party CI application.

1. To install FabulaTech USB plugin as Customer Installed (CI) application into ThinOS devices, do any of the following:
   • Log in to WMS as an administrator, go to Groups & Configs, select a group, click Edit Policies, and go to ThinOS10.x > Advanced.
   • Open APT on the device and select Advanced.
2. Go to Desktop Mode > System Operating Mode.
3. Enable Enhanced Mode and App Builder Mode, then click Save & Publish.
   NOTE:Ensure that the Enhanced Mode is enabled first, and then proceed to install the required packages and activate the App Builder‑generated package. For more information, see Environment setup for CI application deployment.
4. Open App Builder from the taskbar.
5. Select Native Mode, enter the application Name and Version, and upload the required .deb packages.
   For more information, see Application packaging using Dell App Builder.
6. Select the correct binary path or enter it manually.
7. Click Next and review dependency check results.
8. Click Build after validation completes.
9. When the build finishes, click Preview, verify the UI, and exit.
10. Upload the required .pem certificate.
11. Click Bundle, then click Save (the .pkg file is saved to USB).
12. Deploy and select the generated .pkg file using WMS or APT.
