SAP Fiori Client Removed from App Stores: Now What?

SAP Fiori Client removed from Apple and Google App Stores in the second quarter of 2022. What does this mean for Fiori users? Will users who downloaded the app beforehand experience any disruptions? If your organization relies on SAP Fiori Client, keep reading to find out how this will affect you and what your options are.

SAP Fiori Client Will No Longer Listed on App Stores 

SAP Fiori Client was developed to provide easy mobile access to its users. Recently, SAP has announced that the application is now largely redundant due to the evolved capabilities of mobile browsers. Hence, SAP Fiori Client  removed from all public application stores by 01.04.2022. Another factor that led to SAP’s decision was WebView’s increasing limitations, which negatively impacted the application’s user experience.  

What This Means for SAP Fiori Client Users

If you’ll have already downloaded the application by 01.04.2022, its removal from application stores won’t affect you yet. You won’t experience any disruptions while using the desktop and mobile SAP Fiori Client applications. However, changing your device or getting a new addition to your team after April 2022 will require alternative methods.  

What SAP Suggests to New Users

What to do if you need to use SAP Fiori Client haven’t downloaded it by April 2022? SAP suggests using Fiori Client through your web browser; but doing so has significant limitations. Several features, including barcode scanning and voice recording plugins, cannot be used via browsers. If you have Mobile Device Management (MDM), you may add a link to the Fiori launchpad on your SAP screen. For users who don’t want to be inconvenienced by the limitations of using SAP Fiori Client through a web browser, SAP offers two options.

First, you can contact SAP support and request a private B2B Access. You’ll need either MDM or Apple Business Manager to follow through the steps. Second, you can use SAP Mobile Platform SDK 3.2 or Cloud Build Service to develop your own custom SAP Fiori Client application. If you do so, you must purchase the required licenses and acquire a signed certificate from Apple, Google, or Microsoft.

MDP Group offers you a third option.
