New Bug Encountered: Export CSV does not work in app, but in emulator

[Christoph_Bucke]

I implemented an action to export the current view as csv file. This works fine in the emulator but the app running on Android Smartphone only shows white screen and does not export.
The “audit history record” returns success for the “exportview” action.
Any limitation known?

Thank you for reporting this Christoph. We’ll take a look. @Gil.

Hi @Christoph_Bucker,
The Export CSV action doesn’t run on mobile devices, only on browser.
@TDhers, we should probably make it clear in the editor.

Thanks @Gil,
that is a pitty. You need definitely a clear description in your documentation.
BTW: I just tried, it works perfectly if I start the app with the browser link on my mobile device. So I have a workaround.
Best

@Christoph_Bucker We’ve updated the documentation about this. As a workaround, you might be interested in CSV email templates. https://help.appsheet.com/en/articles/3354859-csv-email-templates

The email templates are a really great option for this!

The problem remains in the mobile app, still cant download CSV file,  i have to use the browser to do it.

Correct. That's the officially documented behavior.
