New Dynamics CRM for phones iOS App and getFormFactor method

Yesterday Microsoft released the new iOS App for Dynamics CRM (iTunes link). The app only works with CRM versions 7.1 and higher, this means currently can be used only with CRM Online instances that received the Update 1.

The new App supports JavaScript so I wanted to test a little script with the method getFormFactor.

getFormFactor (MSDN link) is a new method introduced with CRM Online 2015 Update 1 returning a numeric value based on the current device. The possible values are:

ValueForm Factor
0Unknown
1Desktop
2Tablet
3Phone

The script I wrote is:
function accountOnLoad() {
    var factor = Xrm.Page.context.client.getFormFactor();
    var message = "The Form Factor is: " + factor;
    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(message);
}
And the result is:

Note: the script is not called when a new record is created.

Dynamics CRM for iPad updated with CRM 2015 support

Microsoft updated its iPad app for Dynamics CRM (App Store) with CRM 2015 support.

The App description starts with an important note:
For CRM 2015, this app is supported on iOS 6, 7, and 8. For CRM 2013, it is supported on iOS 6 and 7.
My iPad is still on iOS 7 so I am not able to test this incompatibility.

The Changelog is the following:
  • Use multiple dashboards on the go
  • Personalize your Home page
  • Create records and capture notes while disconnected
  • Support for additional languages
  • Bug fixes
Some Screenshots:
