- harrisonjackson 7y agoThat is a great point - an actual device does work better during development than the emulator. Thanks!
- stefanfisk 7y agowhen I finally realized that I could just mount my phone on my desk like I do in my car my quality of life as an iOS dev changed completely. just having it there next to my magic trackpad is soo much smoother than trying to work the simulator.
- nottorp 7y agoYeah, I do Android dev like 25% of my time and I don't use the emulator. The downside is my desk is cluttered with Android devices for testing. Now IntelliJ... well, I think they only develop on NVMe SSDs. Android Studio works fine on my mbpro with the insanely fast proprietary SSD, but on my desktop with a SATA SSD the code completion takes ages to show up. Usually after I'm done typing whatever I needed completed. Never got around to learning iOS development so I can't talk about their tools. In spite of my personal phone being iOS :)
