Replaced Device Manager
The Standard device manager is an ideal basis for creating device management apps. It provides the necessary components for a secure, performant and usable device management applications. However, you may have a need to replace the manager with your own bespoke manager using the Ioto cloud service APIs to access device data and state.
For example, you may have a hard requirement to use the React UI framework or have a need to create a native IOS app. In these cases, you can use the Ioto REST APIs to build your own app.

Requirements
When creating your device manager app, there are two requirements:
- The app must use the Ioto REST APIs.
- The application must be packaged as a ZIP file.
- The ZIP file must have a top level index.html.
Deploying
Once your app is built, package as a zip file and login to the Builder site to create and configure an App. Then, from the Builder app list, click on the Add button or the Edit icon to modify an existing app. Select the Custom App option and upload your app.zip archive and click Save.
The Builder will then deploy the image to the associated Ioto device cloud, which will take a few minutes.
