L6: QA your experiences before launching - adobe-target/mobile GitHub Wiki

It is important to verify that all your experiences look right on all the devices. In order to do that you will have to force the device that you have to the experience that you want to see.

Using Mobile Preview

1. Setup a URL Scheme

The preview link uses a URL scheme to open your app. You must specify a unique URL scheme for the preview.

For the lab session, we have already embedded a deeplink URL adbt://com.adobe.targetmobile

2. Generating a Preview Link

In the Target UI, click the More Options icon (3 dots), then select Create Mobile Preview. Select your activities you want to QA before making them live In this step, you can select more than 1 activity to preview.

3.Specify your app's URL scheme

This needs to be the same as what is present in your iOS or Android app. Repeat this process separately for iOS and Android, if required.

4. Click Generate Mobile Preview Link, then copy the link.

5. Previewing on your device

Open the link in a mobile browser on a device where you have your app installed. This app can be the production app that you downloaded from the Apple App store or the Google Play store. It doesn't have to be a special build. If you have an active preview link, you will be able to view the experiences on device.

Your app opens and starts the Target Mobile Preview Mode.
