What works today
What each device needs before Silan can use it.
| Device | How it connects | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone | Cable. Wi-Fi too, if set up with Xcode | A Mac with Silan. No Xcode for the simple way. |
| iPad | Cable. Wi-Fi too, if set up with Xcode | A Mac with Silan. No Xcode for the simple way. |
| iOS simulator | Runs on your Mac | Xcode. |
| Android emulator | Runs on your Mac | The Android emulator and adb. |
- Plug in and tap Trust to see the screen. Two more minutes of setup lets Silan tap and type.
- Android emulators work. Real Android phones are not tested yet.
