Dear Michael & Octavio,
I’m currently implementing functions that use cordova api’s, which means I cannot test these functions in the simulator.
Every small little change that I need to test requires 2 minutes of my time before I can test the actual function.
A large part of that requires generation of files. Sending files to build server. Waiting for build to complete. Opening email on device. Opening link in the email. Waiting for the webpage to load. Click away unsupported platform message (really, can’t we hide this message somehow?), click away “this file can do damage to your device” message, Waiting for app to download. Opening the installer. Install the app. Open the app. And navigate to my function.
I’ve written these steps out on purpose. Because there are a lot of things we need to do before I can actually test my app on device!
If we have Android SDK support, which I have installed already, I only need to copy/paste my command “cordova run -d android” and cordova collects the data, builds the app, send it to device, and automatically starts the app within 10 seconds!
Please, please make this option available! It will save me so much time with testing functions that I cannot test in the simulator.
I’ve written an extended Cordova manual myself a while back. If you decide to include this option I can send you my manual, which you can refer your users to. (saves you time writing documentation).
Thx in advance!
