  • Updated 7 years ago
I'm target 3 major platforms to develop on: iOs, Android and Windows Phone. And im using the PhoneGap BUILD for that, so, as the propaganda says, i DONT need to setup a bunch of IDE's, just build. Very nice.

So, the question here is pretty simple, HOW can i test my app in these devices with the emulators? Without setup a BUNCH of environments?

Sorry forgot to mention that http://emulate.phonegap.com/ only works BEFORE the app being build. For AFTER build's apps, you still need some SDKs

Blackberry SmartPhone & MDS Simulator

Android

iOS:
N/A - iOS simulator is tied to Xcode. Only locally-build app can use iOS simulator.

Thanks

Thank you Amir.

So, i had open the Windows Phone .xap file trough the XapDeploy.exe and its open in the emulator, but dont work propertly, so do you have already tested in this tooll? I mean, its works for you open the .xap file directly from XapDeploy.exe?

It should work. That's the only way to deploy .xap onto WinpPhone simulator, afaik. By the way, try look at features and access tag in config.xml. Also, make sure it's WinPhone 7.1 or 7.8
