• Best way for offline development

  I've also played around with multiple ways developing and my highest priority in developing is using familiar tools with quick iteration times. Since Bluetooth pairing is very finicky for me (i.e. switching from phone to pc and back), I always either use the emulator or connect through the web IDE remotely in gadget bridge.

  I use JetBrains to develop and have a script that takes the app.js and copy pasted it into the web IDE. From there I upload it automatically to the emulator or the watch over the remote IDE connection.

  Pro:

  • I can use all my tools and get to run the code in the emulator quickly.
    
  • I can run the same code on the watch easily using remote IDE feature
    
    

  Con:

  • The copy pasting script is sometimes flaky (maybe there's a better more reliable way to inject the code?)
    
  • my app has to reside in a single file for this to work properly
    
  • running code on the watch over remote IDE only works online I guess?
    
    

  (I am a bit shocked that the infamous and prolific HalEmmerich does not have a more advanced setup. ;) thanks for all the small improvements and apps!)
