Debugging mobile & tablet apps via network
Quote from visnejneo on April 9, 2024, 3:59 pmHello all,
Is there a way to view your web app/PWA on real physical devices over a network. Some frameworks provide a [network address : port] so any device connected to your Wi-Fi can run your app while building it. Is this possible in VisualNeo Web ?? Obviously if its just a PWA then it can be viewed in the browser but it would be great if PWA/Cordova hybrid apps could be run on your connected tablets & mobiles so we can debug and check the functionality of Cordova plugins 'in-device' in real-time. I'm thinking along the lines of the built-in PHPServer in VisNeoWeb maybe??
With thanks in advance ...

- Be sure your computer and mobile devices are connected to the same network (ie: same wifi router)
- Compile your project.
- Open neoPhp Server (Tools > neoPhp Server)
- Change "localhost" with your local IP (you will see the IP value right below)
- Press "Start" button (if you are not using neoPhp plugin you can uncheck the previous checkbox before pressing Start)
- Open your device web browser and navigate to your computer IP adresss (ie: http://192.168.1.3)
Once it's working, you can check any change in your application by compiling it again and reloading the app in the web browser (sometimes clearing the web browser cache may be necessary)
Let me know if you have any doubts.
