Valence Mobile is an app for users to connect to an IBM Power System Server running IBM i.

In addition to handling menu functions, security, library lists and user overrides, Valence Mobile also provides app-level access to native iOS device features such as camera, contacts, GPS, etc. This makes it possible to develop apps that, for example, take pictures on an iOS device, collect GPS information to go with the image and store the data on the IBM i for use in other programs. You must have Valence Framework version 6 or higher installed and running on your IBM i in order for Valence Mobile to function.
