Testing on Android is much easier and faster. Once you have an account and you have set up Xcode with your certificates to enable device testing, you’ll want to open the Xcode project from platforms/ios/ and do your testing from Xcode. Unfortunately, this costs $99 per year (don’t blame us!). If you are building for iOS, you’ll need to sign up for an Apple Developer account to test as a native app on an iPhone or iPad. Since we are building a native (or “hybrid”) app, we can (and should!) test it as one. It is fine for small tests, but not recommended for more complex apps. They also have issues with the URL bars getting in the way, and some scrolling behavior is not the same as it is in the web view running in Cordova. For example, Chrome and Safari both listen for drag events on the sides of the app which let you switch between open tabs. This is largely because the browser app is meant for browsing websites, so it often adds functionality that conflicts with your app. One problem with testing in a mobile browser is that it’s probably the furthest of the three options from the actual app experience. So, if our desktop is running a test server at 192.168.1.123:8000, we can just load that address into our mobile Chrome or Safari to test it.

If you are using the local server method from the Desktop testing section and you are on the same network as the desktop computer, you can connect to the ip address of the desktop computer to test. Playing the games is also fun as the frame rates are high thanks to the vSync technology. The emulator is designed to run on Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Check out the Android docs for more info. BolXEmu is an excellent emulator that’s able to run Xbox One and Xbox 360 games. To do this with iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks, enable the Web Inspector option in the iOS Settings -> Safari -> Advanced section, and also enable the Developer Menu in the Advanced section of the Safari OS X settings.Īndroid apps supporting Android 4.4 or above can also use Chrome for remote debugging. First you have to enable the remote web inspector on both the device and Safari on desktop. For OS X users, Safari on OS X can directly debug websites and simulator applications. You can also test the app directly in a mobile browser. Which will update the ios specific project with the code from the Mobile browser testing
