Link wont work on iphone

[Gareth Murfin]

Im trying to emulate iphone to test a build but when I select the link in real ios emulator im getting "cannot open page because address is invalid" - never seen this on a real device, how do you get around it ?

I don't understand what you're talking about. What link? How do you open it?

[Gareth Murfin]

the link from build-server.html that says "install on device" - ie the normal way to install an ipa on a device, but on an emulated device it did not work. Works on my real iphone6.

iOS doesn't have an emulator. Only a simulator. So no it won't work.

Very odd, so what youre saying is you cannot install an ipa on an iphone using codenameone without using the xcode project? I cannot understand why that would be and I thought id done it before.

sorry i meant on an iphone emulator/simulator (it is an emulator surely not a simulator? but i dont know what the difference is in this case, must be a VM i would have thought, which means it is emulation?)

It's a simulator. Only Android has an emulator.

Emulator replicates the underlying ARM ISA and boots the Linux kernel with all the layers. That's why Androids emulator is slow. It uses the Intel ISA sometimes to speed things up but it's still slows as multiple layers need emulation.

Apple uses a simulator which is fast but always compiles directly to intel so it won't run on the device and visa versa. Device and simulator builds are nothing alike.
