Why do I need to use my computer for an iPhone app? Where is MATLAB running?
MATLAB Mobile provides access to MATLAB running on your computer. MATLAB is not running on your mobile device or in a cloud service. To use MATLAB Mobile, your device needs to be on the same network as your computer running MATLAB. MATLAB Mobile and the MATLAB connector are intended for use behind a firewall on a private network. Virtual Private Network (VPN) use is recommended when used over the public internet or via 3G.
