Using the corona simulator swipes, etc

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi all!

I have a silly question… I am creating an app for blind users and it requires swiping, because I don’t want them to have to locate the buttons on the app etc.

Now my question is this… How can I debug this app using the simulator? Do I need to install it on my device if I want to test swipes, or is there a workaround? I’m saying this because I use Corona sdk with offline builds and and I’d have to create a lot of builds to debug it…

Any thoughts?

Thanks

  1. If your app is not multi-touch (more than one finger on screen at a time), then you can test just fin in simulator.

  2. If it is multi-touch, you’ll need to test on device.

  3. To avoid multiple re-installs, use CoronaViewer.  Install once, modify and see update on device right away.
