Interact with apps on local emulator by specifying URL to their file

Open amalik2 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Ideally, create a desktop app associated with a specific URL scheme that would be opened automatically. Useful for CI environments where canary versions of apps can be tested with storybook

Example: sb-native://app?url=URL_TO_DOWNLOAD_APP should download the mobile app from the URL query param, open the desktop app, and start storybook

More info:

  • The desktop app should either be a web browser, or a normal electron app
  • The desktop app needs to be able to communicate with an emulator open on the local machine, or ideally, it should ship with an emulator directly
  • This is so that people can view static storybooks without needing to use appetize.io
  • The mobile app needs to be installed onto the emulator
