The challenge is now over. See our wrap-up blog.
Welcome to the SAP Build Apps Community Challenge, a set of small challenges to help you get to know SAP Build Apps a little better, whether you’re a beginner or experienced user.
The challenges so far:
If you do all the challenges – each taking the time of your lunch hour (but don’t skip eating lunch 🍜) – you will learn a lot:
For every one of the challenges, you will be asked to provide:
For these challenges, we will use the hashing service introduced by @qmacro (DJ Adams) for his API challenge back in August. The service lets you take a text string, hash it to a GUID so that we can tell if you were correct but prevent others from seeing the correct answer.
GOOD NEWS: In the skeleton app we will give you, we have taken care of the connection to the service, providing an easy way for you to provide your answer.
Let’s get started.
At the end, make sure you can open the SAP Build lobby.
Installing the app is simple – just search for SAP Build Apps Preview. But for more help watch this 2-minute video:
Make sure to give this app permission to use your device's camera.
REMINDER: With the trial, you will be on the US10 landscape and must log in on the preview app using Other login options.
Next, you will have some fun and make sure everything is connected, and get a little preview of some of the capabilities of SAP Build Apps.
If you want to review the basics of building apps with SAP Build Apps works, feel free to watch the SAP Build Apps playlist (new videos all the time).
Upload the project to SAP Build Apps and open it (you can import projects in the lobby).
Here, the secret phrase and your community ID were already entered (though you can always enter them manually).
The post with a screenshot should look something like this:
If you're looking for more to do and learn:
Share your innovation.
Feel free to look inside the app to see how we put it all together – how we made it so it will store your community ID, how you could have entered your community ID in the app instead of hard-coding it, how we created a circle with your image, how we played music, how we ran the hashing function – all without coding.

Sorry I was not clear. All looks good except that phrase was the phrase DJ used in his contest. In our instructions, we wanted you to find a secret phrase in the app by tapping on something ... this will automatically enter the phrase in the correct place.

Sorry for that...
Corrected now.

Make sure to join the SAP Builders group to be updated on all things SAP Build!!!

First thing first, thanks a lot @Dan_Wroblewski for bringing this up! Was looking something similar to dig deep into the capabilities of BUILD
For some reason, camera doesn't open on my iPhone 13 running on iOS version 17.4.1.
Enhanced the app logic to capture the error output of the Take Photo function to see blank error as this
Here is the Hash though: 165970781bc86ec1f22afc4294c67ba457f6a60dbb3724a764acab59be5a8cac

Strange, since I also have an iPhone 13, updated to the latest iOS. Can you make sure that you have enabled the camera for the preview app?
Also, the hash is not showing as correct for us. Can you make sure the secret phrase is entered correctly when you hash, and maybe provide us with a screenshot of the hashing page just before you hash?

Yeah, camera access was missing to the Build Preview App. How silly of me :). Thanks for your support!

Hi, unfortunately the hash doesn't look right. Could you please recheck the instructions and try again?

The hash still seems not right. Do you have screenshots of the app? May be the community id is not entered correctly?
