Is it possible to create a standalone application using App Designer that utilises parallel pooling?

I have created an application using App Designer that uses parfor scripts. When it is compiled it does not use all cores available. How do you implement parallel pooling for the standalone application that is built using App Designer?

I have tried the steps in the link below but when compiled the application begins to open and then just closes http://uk.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2016b/compiler/use-the-parallel-computing-toolbox.html

Hello Joshua,

According to MathWorks documentation found here:

http://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/supported/compiler_support.html

The Parallel Computing Toolbox is not compatible with user interfaces such as ones built using App Designer.

This is not what the linked webpage means. It is not possible to compile UI functionalities from Parallel Computing Toolbox (such as Job Monitor), but all command-line functionality (parfor, parfeval, etc) are supported for MATLAB Compiler deployment.

This is independent from whether the standalone application comes with an Appdesigner GUI or not.
