It should be as simple as possible for the testers. Best case would be a link that they can click on that directly installs the app on iOS and Android devices (maybe through another app similar to testflight). As we're using Firebase in our application I looked at Firebase App distribution but it seems that it doesn't work with the managed workflow of Expo. We would need to eject our app to (possibly) make it work. As we have only a limited amount of time until the test I would like to avoid a lenghty evaluation process like the one testflight requires.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
Apps using Managed Workflow can be shared via Expo Go: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/sharing-preview-releases/
After some research I came across diawi.com which seems to offer what I'm searching for. It's really easy for the testers, they just have to scan a qr code or click on a link and the app actually appears as a standalone application.

I am developing audio calling application in Meteor and I would like to test if I can call other logged in users, it doesn't matter if it is IOS or Android.
Is it feasible to do so? If not, are there any way I can go about to test the calling functionality?
I’d build production apps and distribute to friends with something like Testfairy. I could be one of your testers if it helps you.
You are clearly using webrtc technology so are your stun/turn servers configured correctly? I've read somewhere that a production build was required to access the device camera via the cordova plugin. That could very well be your problem.
I'm trying to transform a web application to a desktop one without rewriting the code. Two solutions I found that seem promising are Qt with WebEngine (WebView) and Electron. The thing is I would like to be able to capture the communication with server, for example database queries and stuff like that and treat it locally. Is that possible using either of that tools? If so do you have any tips on how to go about the issue?
Thanks in advance.
If you don't have enough time to build a desktop app, I recommend to build hybrid app. (Native App + Web). Use Cache, I am not sure about Web Database.
you can read these..
Web Cache
Web DB (it works on browser like Chrome, Safari, Android Browser...)
Just for future reference I decided on Electron and used onBeforeRequest function to capture the http requests.
I am a Front-end developer with limited backend knowledge.
My question is do I need other backend frameworks like Django or Ruby on Rails if I use Firebase as a backend? In other words, can I solely depend on Firebase as a backend and build a single page web application or Mobile application without writing a single line of backend code?
Thanks for your time viewing the question.
I was also looking for a platform to minimize server code and I found that firebase can help a lot.
You will get plenty of docs on net. You can start at angular fire + firebase doc

Following document was helpful for me to design my app, which requires some amount of off-line processing too.

I am working on a project using meteor and I want to deploy it only as a web app but not a website, it there any way of doing it?
The simple answer is yes. I guess you would probably like to know how. This is a very broad topic specific to your application, its users, and all of your needs. Do you have a specific question you can update us with?
I'm working on a tweak that needs to download and install an app from the App Store (given a bundle id or some kind of other identifier), but doing so without using the App Store app (e.g., to allow the user to remotely instal an app on the device, without going through the App Store UI).
(I'll pause here to point that obviously this has nothing to do with piracy, as I want the app to be downloaded through the user's account in the store, and in any case I'm only targeting free apps at the moment).
I went through iOS 7 private framework headers and couldn't find a way to fit in and to tell the device to install an app with a given identifier. I've also looked for similar tweaks to have a look at their source, but the only one I could find was 'Auto App Updater', and its code isn't public.
I would greatly appreciate your help in coming up with a code that does that, or an open-source tweak that utilises a similar function.
Thanks a lot!
