run-native
is a cross-platform command-line utility for running native app binaries (.ipa
and .apk
files) on iOS and Android devices. It can be used for both hardware and virtual devices.
This tool is used by the Navify CLI, but it can be used standalone as part of a development or testing pipeline for launching apps. It doesn't matter whether the .apk
or .ipa
is created with Cordova or native IDEs, run-native
will be able to deploy it.
run-native
is written entirely in TypeScript/NodeJS, so there are no native dependencies.
To install, run:
npm install -g run-native
