An Integration Architect has designed a mobile application for Salesforce users to get data while on the road using a custom UI. The application is secured with oAuth and is currently functioning well. There is a new requirement where the mobile application needs to obtain the GPS coordinates and store it on a custom geolocation field.
The geolocation field is secured with Field Level Security, so users can view the value without changing it.
What should be done to meet the requirement?

Yep, REST is more efficient for this kind of task!

I thought Apex was only for server-side logic, not inbound calls?

Wait, why not SOAP? Isn't it still relevant?

The mobile device should make a REST API inbound call.

I feel like the REST Apex inbound call could be the right choice, but I need to double-check how Field Level Security works with API calls.

I recall that REST is generally preferred for mobile apps, but I’m not clear on how the geolocation field's security impacts the API call.

I think the mobile device should make a REST API inbound call since it’s more suited for mobile applications, but I’m a bit uncertain about the specifics of the implementation.

I remember we practiced a similar question about API calls, but I’m not sure if SOAP or REST is better for this scenario.

Okay, let's see. The project is in stage 3, and the CEO and Marketing Director need to make some final decisions. The competitors are issuing calendars soon, and the Project Manager has suggested closing the project early. I think the End Project Report would be the best choice to capture all the relevant information.

This seems like a straightforward question about image scaling on mobile apps. I'll need to think carefully about the key functional attributes that could be impacted.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if Power Automate or Common Data Service would be the best fit for the approval process. Maybe Dynamics 365 Sales would be a better option there? I'll need to review the capabilities of each tool more closely to make a confident recommendation.

Ah, the principle of competency - I remember that one from the code. I think I can narrow down the options and make an educated guess on this question.

I bet the answer is to just hold the phone up to the sky and let the GPS fairies do their thing. No API required!
