Testing Apps on a Device


When using trigger.io toolkit, there's an option that says

"Build and immediately run your app, either locally, on a simulator or on a connected device." 

How do you run the app on a Connected Device? I want to see the app on my iPhone and see how it behaves directly. Is this possible?

Thanks Marc


Solution

  • I'm going to assume you're working on windows with an iPhone that's iOS8 because that's where you currently can't run your app directly on a connected device.

    What we did to "fix" this is creating a Development Provisioning Profile with the UDID's of our test devices and added this to config -> tools in the trigger.io toolkit. In the forge you now select package -> iOS giving you a .ipa file. This .ipa can now be installed using iTunes on your test devices.

    It's a bit longer than just clicking run on device like you can for Android but at least you don't have to send it to testflight and wait for apple's approval.
