Testing on Mobile

Mobile is Ruflet's default target for local development.

Install the Ruflet mobile client

• iOS: download Ruflet Explorer on the App Store.
• Android: download the Android client from the Ruflet releases page.

Run your app

bundle exec ruflet run main.rb

The terminal output includes:

• the local connection URL
• the WebSocket endpoint
• QR code guidance for quick connect

Connect the client

You can connect in two ways:

• enter the shown URL manually
• use the mobile client's scan feature and scan the QR code or connect info shown by Ruflet

Why this matters

Testing on a real phone or tablet helps you validate:

• spacing and touch targets
• scrolling behavior
• orientation and responsiveness
• device-aware features like camera, battery, connectivity, or file access

When to move beyond the client

The mobile client is ideal for rapid iteration. When you are ready to package a product build, move to the publishing guides.
