The following section provides guidelines and requirements for what hardware we recommend to run a JourneyApps application.
Android - Phones, Tablets and RealWear® devices
Android Version
As a general rule, the latest 3 Android versions are recommended. At the time of writing, this is Android 12.0 or greater.

Form Factors
Smartphone, tablet and RealWear® devices.
Device Models
Any mainstream device from a reputable manufacturer such as Samsung, Asus, Google, Sony, LG, Lenovo, HTC or RealWear®.
Recommended: Minimum of 4GB RAM and 1.4GHz quad-core CPU. It is recommended to use a device with a recent Android version that gets regular security updates.
Supported: Minimum of 1.5GB RAM and 1.4GHz dual-core CPU.
Recommendations
1D Barcode Scanning If you need to scan 1-dimensional barcodes (vertical stripes), you require a device with a camera that has auto-focus.
Screen Space If you have an app that requires a large amount of screen space (for example, users will be working with tables of information with several columns), or if you want to use tablet-specific JourneyApps features (such as columns and sidebars), then a large tablet (10 inches) is recommended.
RealWear® devices
We recommend that the latest version of Android System WebView is installed on RealWear® devices. We recommend installing the arm64-v8a + arm-v7a WebView variant, with Android 6.0+ listed as the minimum Android version.
Troubleshooting note: We recommend first installing Android System WebView before installing a JourneyApps application. If an unsupported WebView version or variant was previously installed on a device, you may need to first uninstall Android System WebView as well the JourneyApps application from the device, before proceeding to install the correct WebView version as described above.
iOS/iPadOS - iPhone and iPad
