- chedabob 6y agoWeinre made building apps using PhoneGap/Cordova just that tiny little bit less painful in the early days. Really great tool.

- admax88q 6y agoBoth chrome and Firefox support debugging their mobile android versions from their desktop versions. I'm sure safari offers the same for iOS.
- JohnBooty 6y agoI'm sure safari offers the same for iOS. Indeed it does! Been quite a while since I used it, but I do remember it being quite seamless and enjoyable. https://www.browserstack.com/guide/how-to-debug-on-iphone https://www.browserstack.com/guide/how-to-debug-on-iphone
