To enable the mobile app designer in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1, two patches must be applied after upgrading: 17004920 to enable support in the web catalog, and 17220944 for mobile functionality. The domain must then be extended using the BI-MAD template to deploy the mobile app features, and the security configuration updated to add grants for mobile app design. Restarting the servers makes the mobile app designer available in the OBIEE dashboard.
