Naman brought up a very good point in the comments on the GitHub issue: *@edcable <https://github.com/edcable> I maybe missing something here but financial institutions will have to anyway build and create their own version of app since they will be having a separate fineract instance and thus a different base API url that will have to be changed in the code.*
*However, I do agree that an admin section in the webapp for managing these self service channels will be great.* While this might then make it the case that each organization needs to create their own version of the app, is there a means of having the the client download the generic app, then when registering based on which organization they specify they belong to, it identifies the tenant and sets the base URL. Or since there is no separate authentication service that stands alone from Fineract tenant, that we can't do any of this registration/authentication without first having the Base API URL specified.
