Developing a mobile application with a platform-based approach (Java and Objective-C/Swift) is not as easy as it looks. There are so many details one needs to consider like platforms, screen technologies, OS versions etc. To avoid these problems, many companies and developers are now using Cross-Platform Mobile Application Development Platforms. Nowadays, Cross-Platform solutions are chosen by 5 of the Top 10 Fortune 500 companies. Gartner estimates that more than 75% of the enterprises will use at least one mobile application development platform by 2020.

No emulators at this point. IntelliJ has some lags in performance on M1 (because it is not native, and Intel built), but feels pretty usable. Yes, Android Studio and the M1 emulator are working. However keep in mind that sometimes Android Studio will start pushing to Swap massively about 1 hour of work in. Android Studio Emulator developer. Hi, we're excited to bring a preview of the emulator on Apple Silicon systems. Please give it a try! Feedback is welcome. Apple silicon status: Android Studio Arctic Fox Canary 15 contains preliminary support for Apple Silicon (arm64). This version of Android Studio for this platform is still under active development, but we wanted to get a functional version out to the app developer community to get feedback.

Main part of the development process requires adaptation of the application to different screen sizes and resolutions on different devices, just like the different screen sizes of iPhone 4/4S (3.5″), iPhone 5/5S (4″), iPhone 6S/7/8/SE (4.7″) and iPhone 7/8 Plus (5.5″). It’s a well-known fact that virtual device emulators and simulators are very slow on many platforms (like Android). Hence, the real product may appear different on real devices than it appears on virtual emulators in many cases. Moreover, network operations may present different cases on real devices. For instance, Xcode uses an iOS simulator for performance, but as the name indicates, it’s just a simulator, not a real device emulator like Smartface iOS emulator. Thus, most of the developers choose real devices for testing. It might look OK at first glance, but what about iOS development on a Cross-Platform solution?

Due to Apple’s restrictions and the limitation of some Cross-Platform technologies, there are no solutions other than Smartface that support iOS development on a Windows or Linux machine. Other frameworks either don’t support iOS development on Windows at all or they can’t publish or emulate apps on an iOS device without a Mac. This is a big handicap for Cross-Platform development.

Smartface makes it easy to develop for iOS and Android on Windows with a new perspective for developing applications on Cross-Platform technologies. Smartface allows you to emulate your iOS and Android application on a Windows PC with a single click.

Smartface Device Emulator button: You can emulate your application and preview it with a single click

To emulate your application on any iOS device, like an iPad emulator or an iPhone emulator, download Smartface app from the iOS App Store and connect your iOS device to your Windows machine. Make sure you have iTunes installed for your PC to recognize your Apple device and then start developing a native application with Smartface. For the Android case, just set Android SDK path in your project settings in Smartface and click OK. It quickly generates the files in less than a minute and deploy it to the device. You can use a virtual Android device as well.

Android emulation is already known but you might wonder how emulation works on iOS. The main idea stems from the approach “if iTunes does it, why can’t we?” and we got to work on the solution. Now, we proudly introduce a brand new perspective about it. Moreover, it’s not just an emulator, it also functions as an Android and iOS debugger on Windows. Therefore, you can debug your apps with full debugging features such as breakpoints, watches and real-time code changes.

We are doing everything we can do to make sure the emulation is the same as real deployment process. You can be confident about everything being exactly the same as you developed and it only takes a few seconds to see your application in action. That’s why we named our helper app as “Smartface in Action”.

We will be introducing other cool ideas about mobile app development in the near future and keep yourself ready to hear new cool stuff from us. Stay tuned!

For more information about the Smartface emulators and a demo, you can visit the Appcircle In-Browser Emulator & Simulator product page. Smartface with Appcircle provides full-featured Android and iPhone emulators and simulators online that can run in many desktop operating systems including Windows, Linux, macOS and ChromeOS. You just need an x86 build of your app. Many OS versions are supported from Android 4.4 to Android 9 emulators and iOS 9 to iOS 13 simulators.

Apps downloaded from the App Store (such as iMessage, GarageBand, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Clash of Clans, Mario Kart, Pokemon Go, etc.) will not work with Smartface in-browser emulators. For these applications, you need a real device.

Android Testing

Android Studio Bumblebee Canary 8 and AGP 7.1.0 alpha-08 introduce several newfeatures and improvements tohelp you more reliably and scalably run your automated instrumentation tests andsee useful results you can use to debug issues. These are features in additionto those launched in Android Studio Arctic Fox, such as parallel devicetesting and Gradle test runner for unittests.

Unified Gradle test runner

When running instrumented tests, previous versions of Android Studio used theIntelliJ Android instrumented test runner. Meanwhile, the Android Gradle pluginuses Gradle’s own implementation of the Android instrumented test runner. So,depending on whether you run your tests from Android Studio or from the commandline using the Gradle plugin, such as on your continuous integration server, youmight see different test results, such as tests passing using one runner andfailing on another.

To resolve this issue, Android Studio Bumblebee now also uses Gradle’s Androidinstrumented test runner when running your tests. Now, when running yourautomated instrumentation tests from Android Studio, your results are morelikely to be consistent with those you run using the Android Gradle plugin fromthe command line.

If you already have instrumented test configurations saved to your project,they’ll now use Gradle to run tests on your connected device. Otherwise, you cancreate a new instrumented test configuration using the gutter action next toyour test class or method, as shown below.

When running your instrumented tests, you can confirm that Android Studio isusing the Gradle test runner by inspecting the test output in the Test Matrixfor Gradle task output. Although we are improving this feature with each releaseof Android Studio, there are some known issues. If you are experiencing issues, please report abug.You can also disable the new testing pipeline to revert to theold behavior.

Gradle Managed Virtual Devices

In order to improve consistency, performance, and reliability when using AndroidVirtual Devices for your automated instrumented tests, we’re introducing GradleManaged Virtual Devices. This feature allows you to configure virtual testdevices in your project's Gradle files that the build system uses to fullymanage—that is, create, deploy, and tear down—those devices to execute yourautomated tests.

Because this feature grants Gradle visibility into not only the tests you’rerunning, but also the devices’ lifecycle, it’s able to improve the quality ofyour testing experience in the following ways:

  • Handles device-related issues in order to ensure your tests are executed
  • Utilizes emulator snapshots to improve device startup time and memory usage, and restore devices to a clean state between tests
  • Caches test results and reruns only tests that are likely to provide different results
  • Provides a consistent environment for running your tests between local and remote test runs
Get started

You can specify a virtual device that you want Gradle to use for testing yourapp in your module-level build.gradle file. The following code sample creates aPixel 2 running API level 29 as a Gradle managed device.

To run your tests using the Gradle managed devices you configured, use thefollowing command. device-name is the name of the device you configured inyour Gradle build script (such as pixel2api29), and BuildVariant is thebuild variant of your app you want to test.

Define groups of devices

To help you scale your tests across multiple device configurations, such asdifferent API levels and form factors, you can define multiple Gradle manageddevices and add them to a named group. Gradle can then execute your tests acrossall the devices in the group in parallel.

Android

The example below shows two managed devices added to a device group calledphoneAndTablet.

Apple

To run your tests using the group of Gradle managed devices, use the followingcommand.

Android Emulator now runs directly inside Android Studio by default

Launching the emulator inside Studio conserves screen real estate,and gives you the ability to write and test your apps inside one windowwithout leaving Android Studio.

When the emulator is running, you'll have access to common emulator actions like rotating,and extended control options like navigation playback. To run the emulator in a separatewindow instead go to File > Settings > Tools > Emulator and deselect Launch in a tool window.

Compatibility with Emulator Snapshots for test failures

Test runs using Gradle managed devices are compatible with Emulator snapshotsfor test failures.That is, when you enable snapshots for test failures when runningtests with managed devices, Gradle will also generate a snapshot for each testassertion failure, so that you can use them to debug the issue later. To usemanaged virtual devices with Emulator snapshots for test failures enabled,simply include the command-line flag to enable snapshots.

Keep in mind, to use the snapshots, you’ll need toimport the test results into Android Studio.

Emulator Snapshots for test failures

When you inspect failed assertions after running instrumented tests, it'ssometimes difficult or time consuming to reproduce that test failure again.However, reproducing those failures on your connected device is critical inhelping you diagnose the issue, either by attaching a debugger or interactingwith the app at the time of failure.

When using Android Studio Bumblebee with In Android Gradle plugin 7.0-alpha13and higher, you can use Emulator Snapshots for test failures – a quicker way toreproduce test failures when using the Android Emulator. In other words, whenyour instrumented tests running on a connected Emulator encounter a Java orKotlin assertion that fails, the device takes a snapshot at the time of failure.After your test run completes, you can then reload the snapshot on the samedevice in order to reproduce and investigate that failure.

Android Emulator Apple Silicon Preview Free

To get started, first update the Android Emulatorto 30.4.3 or higher, then follow these steps:

  1. Select Run > Edit Configurations … from the menu bar.
  2. If you don’t already have an instrumented test configuration,create an instrumented test configurationyou want to run.
  3. Open the instrumented test configuration and select Yes from the dropdownnext to Enable Emulator Snapshots for test failures.
  4. By default, Android Studio generates up to two snapshots per device, per testrun. To change this maximum number of snapshots, enter the desired amountnext to Max Snapshots per test run.
  5. If you want to compress snapshots,check the box next to Compress snapshots.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Deploy your tests to a virtual device as you normally would.

The Run window should appear and show you the results of your test run. Toload a snapshot, select a failed test that indicates Test results in thecolumn under the device name. In the right side of the tool window, select theRetention tab. After Android Studio validates the snapshot for that testfailure, click the Start retention debug button to load the snapshot to adevice. You can then attach a debugger to investigate the cause of the issue.

Enable snapshots for command-line tests

You can enable emulator snapshots for tests you run from the command line in oneof two ways: by enabling it in your app module’s build.gradle file or bypassing parameters to the Gradle connectedCheck task. To enable the feature inyour Gradle buildscript, include the following in your app module’sbuild.gradle file.

Note: Due to the large number of write operations during snapshotgeneration, for better performance we recommend using this feature on systemswith an SSD instead of an HDD.

Next, start the Android Virtual Device you'd like to use and run your app'sinstrumented tests from the command line, as follows:

Linux and Mac

./gradlew connectedCheck

Windows

Apple Emulator Free

gradlew connectedCheck

Alternatively, if you don’t want to enable the feature in your app'sbuild.gradle file, you can simply pass the following properties in thecommand line:

Import test failures into Android Studio

If you’re running your tests from outside of Android Studio, you need to importyour test results into the IDE in order to use any of the generatedsnapshots.After the tests complete, you should see test results in the<project>/<module>/build/outputs/androidTest-results/connected/ folder. If your test run encountered anassertion failure, you should see a tar snapshot file for each snapshot thatwas taken. To see the results in Android Studio and load the snapshots to yourrunning virtual device, select Run >Import Tests from File from the menu bar, navigate to the test-result.pbfile from the test results directory, and click Open.

The Run window should appear and show you the results of your test run.

Note:

Android Emulator Apple Silicon Preview Free

Snapshots must be used on the same workstation and with the samedevice used to generate the snapshot during the test run. Additionally,the device must be started with the same parameters. So, if you started thedevice with Android Studio or the command line, it's recommended you start thedevice using the same method before loading a snapshot.

Compress snapshots

Snapshots provide high fidelity in reproducing your test failures, but theyeach consume a large amount of disk space. If you want to instead generatecompressed snapshots, add the following to your build.gradle file. Keep inmind, compressing snapshots increases the time it takes to complete theprocess and continue with the test execution.

Alternatively, you can pass the following property from the command line.

Disable the new testing pipeline

By default Android Studio Bumblebee uses Gradle to run its instrumentation tests.If you're experiencing issues, you can disable this behavior as follows:

  1. Select File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Testing(or Android Studio > Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Testingon MacOS.)
  2. Uncheck the box next to Run Android instrumented tests using Gradle andclick OK.

If you're using AGP 7.1.0-alpha08 and higher, you can also revert to olderbehaviors by doing one of the following:

  • When running Gradle tasks from the command line, use the following commandline parameter:-Pandroid.experimental.androidTest.useUnifiedTestPlatform=false
  • Add the following parameter to your project's gradle.properties file:android.experimental.androidTest.useUnifiedTestPlatform=false

To help resolve issues that you might be expereincing, please report abug.
