Plugin Not Useable -- How to Get Working in 2024

[kylek29]

Posting this here so other users can find this and see how I was able to get this very useful plugin working. Referencing this post: https://github.com/KjellConnelly/obsidian-dev-tools/issues/3#issuecomment-974684919

Date this was tested: 02/28/2024 Obsidian (Android) Version: 1.5.8 Android OS: Android 14 QPR3 Beta 1

• Go to: https://github.com/KjellConnelly/obsidian-dev-tools/releases/tag/1.0.0
• Download style.css, main.js, and manifest.json under the Assets section.
• On mobile device using a File Explorer app (may need to toggle on "show hidden files"), navigate into your vault folder -> .obsidian -> plugins -> create new folder obsidian-dev-tools
  • Move the three files you downloaded into this new folder.
• Restart Obsidian app if it's running.
  • Go into "Community Plugins" (assuming you have these enabled already) --> Enable "Obsidian Dev Tools Plugin"
    • If no error message is shown (failure to load), you're on your way.
  • Open command palette and select "Obsidian Dev Tools Plugin: Toggle Console"
    • An icon will appear in the corner and/or the console will show up.

Thanks to Kjell for a very very useful plugin to aid in debugging on mobile.
