# Mobile Development
## Testing the Client on a Mobile Device
If you have made changes to the client that could affect the mobile experience, it is a good idea to test them on a real device. Such changes should ideally be tested with at least current versions of iOS Safari and Chrome for Android.
1. Make sure your development system and mobile device are on the same local network.
1. Configure the "h" service to allow incoming connections from other systems by editing `conf/development-app.ini` and changing the `host` setting from `localhost` to `0.0.0.0`.
1. Get the IP address or host name of your development system (`<HOSTNAME>` in the steps below). You can do this using the `hostname` terminal command on Mac/Linux.
**Tip:** _If the output of `hostname` does not include a `.home` or `.local`
suffix, you may need to append `.local` to get a host name that is accessible from
other devices on the network. If you have problems using the host name, try
using the IP address instead._
1. Configure the "h" service to load the client from this host and start the dev
server:
```sh
# In the "h" repository
# Configure the URL that the client is loaded from in pages
# that embed Hypothesis
export CLIENT_URL=http://<HOSTNAME>:3001/hypothesis
make dev
```
1. Configure the client to load assets from this hostname and start the dev
server:
```sh
# In the "client" repository
# Set URL which sidebar app ("app.html") is loaded from
export H_SERVICE_URL=http://<HOSTNAME>:5000
# Set hostname used when generating client asset URLs
export PACKAGE_SERVER_HOSTNAME=<HOSTNAME>
gulp watch
```
**Tip:** _When `gulp watch` runs, it will print out the URLs used for the "h" service and client assets. These should include `<HOSTNAME>` instead of `localhost`._
1. On your mobile device, go to a page which has the client embedded such as `http://<HOSTNAME>:3000` or `http://<HOSTNAME>:5000/docs/help`.

==================
Testing the Client on a Mobile Device
-------------------------------------
If you have made changes to the client that could affect the mobile experience,
it is a good idea to test them on a real device. Such changes should ideally be
tested with at least current versions of iOS Safari and Chrome for Android.
#. Make sure your development system and mobile device are on the same local
network.
#. Configure h to allow incoming connections from other systems
by editing ``conf/development-app.ini`` and changing the ``host`` setting from
``localhost`` to ``0.0.0.0``.
#. Get the IP address or hostname of your development system (``<HOSTNAME>``
in the steps below). You can do this using the ``hostname`` terminal command on
Mac/Linux.
.. tip::
If the output of ``hostname`` does not include a ``.home`` or ``.local``
suffix, you may need to append ``.local`` to get a hostname that is
accessible from other devices on the network. If you have problems using
the hostname, try using the IP address instead.
#. Set the :envvar:`CLIENT_URL` environment variable to configure h
to load the client from this host and start the dev server:
.. code-block:: sh
# In the h repository
# Configure the URL that the client is loaded from in pages
# that embed Hypothesis
export CLIENT_URL=http://<HOSTNAME>:3001/hypothesis
make dev
#. Set the :envvar:`H_SERVICE_URL` and :envvar:`PACKAGE_SERVER_HOSTNAME`
environment variables to load assets from this hostname and start the dev
server:
.. code-block:: sh
# In the client repository
# Set URL which sidebar app ("app.html") is loaded from
export H_SERVICE_URL=http://<HOSTNAME>:5000
# Set hostname used when generating client asset URLs
export PACKAGE_SERVER_HOSTNAME=<HOSTNAME>
gulp watch
.. tip::
When ``gulp watch`` runs, it will print out the URLs used for h
and client assets. These should include ``<HOSTNAME>`` instead of
``localhost``.
#. On your mobile device, go to a page which has the client embedded such as
``http://<HOSTNAME>:3000`` or ``http://<HOSTNAME>:5000/docs/help``.
