Mobile App Testing Guides
Practical guides for running iOS simulators and Android emulators in the browser, writing tests, and wiring mobile checks into CI.
What a guide covers
A task that spans more than one tool. Getting an Expo build onto a device, wiring mobile tests into a pipeline, testing an iOS app from a Windows machine — the kind of thing where the answer is a sequence of steps and VibeView is one of them, not all of them.
Each one is written by a named author, states what you need before you start, and says how to tell it worked. They assume you have not used VibeView before.
You may want somewhere else
This section is new and still short, so it is worth pointing at the rest of the site rather than pretending otherwise.
If you want to know what a specific feature does, that is the documentation — deeper, and kept current with the product. If you are still deciding whether a browser-based device fits your workflow at all, platforms covers what each device can do and compare covers the trade-offs against other approaches. If you already know what you want to build, getting started is the shortest path to a running device.
Mobile emulator online: how streamed devices work
A mobile emulator online runs on a remote machine and streams to your browser. How it works, what it cannot test, and which tools offer one. July 2026.
iOS simulator on Windows: what actually works
You cannot run an iOS simulator on Windows locally — Apple's Simulator is a Mac app. Here are the three options that do work, and what each one costs you.
iOS simulator for Android: what actually works
Looking for an iOS simulator for Android? One real emulator exists and it runs 2008-era games. Here is what genuinely works for a modern app. July 2026.
Upload and Test an iOS Build in the Browser
Take a simulator build out of Xcode or EAS, upload it, and drive it on a live iOS device in your browser — including how to tell the install actually worked.
