Can I create Azure MobileServiceClient instance with Azure Function App url instead of creating an Azure Mobile App?

174 views Asked by At

My purpose is to build my mobile app backend serverless. Now, when I try to create MobileServiceClient instance, it asks for an Azure Mobile App URI, can this URI be an Function App URI or it has to be only Mobile App?

You should be able to handle the mobile apps server logic with functions, though you'll be rolling all of this on your own.

One possibility: deploy a mobile app which uses the Azure Mobile Apps sdk at the root of your function app (they're both built on top of Web Apps). Then, use proxies / functions to handle any custom api calls from the mobile client so that you can convert over at your own pace.
