I've been struggling for a while trying to run something on iis-express (service for example) and trying to use it from another device, for example, trying to debug Andoroid\IOS\Win-Phone (or Xamarin) application with WebApi\WCF service.
I have encountered many problems while trying to do this, I've found lots of recommendations about what to do, but non of them worked for me and were to complicated if you don't have a static IP.
After a while, I've found this very simple node.js open source iis-express,
So I wanted save everybody lots of time
This app just opens a simple temp proxy to a specific port on iis-express, it works great and it is very simple.
Just install it with npm:
npm install -g iisexpress-proxy
And then run
iisexpress-proxy localPort to proxyPort
Just don't forget to install node.js and make sure ports are not blocked by firewall
Hope it helps

I tried to find a guide in Flipper docs when using WSL2 but they don't have it.
How can I make it work when I already have a adb server running, a React Native Metro server running and a local node express server running?
Just to be clear, the React Native setup with WSL 2 is working fine, I just want to add Flipper.
The problem is that Flipper seems to try starting another adb server to listen on ports 8096 and 8097.
I'm not sure why I did that but I tried to run adb reverse tcp:8096 tcp:8096 and adb reverse tcp:8097 tcp:8097, and Flipper initialized fine, since it ran adbkit when failed to run a adb server. It seems buggy but it is kind of working, and I don't know if I did the right thing..
Can anyone help me with this setup?
I known it is a bit but in case someone comes around the solutions is to assign the host 0.0.0.0 to metro bundler when you start it.
react-native start --host 0.0.0.0

I am currently working on a sample app on Cordova with Clojurescript. I am using shadow-cljs to build the project but somehow I could not find a way to make the code reload to work.
Instead, I have to use the browser build when developing since it allows for a shorter feedback loop with the code reload. And then after that, I deploy the app to a device/emulator using the cordova command line.
Is there a way in shadow-cljs to make the code reload to work while using the device/emulator directly when developing ?
I created a simple example using shadow-cljs with Cordova. I only tested the windows runtime but I'd assume that the others work as well.
It is all regular shadow-cljs the only special tweak in the config file is the :use-document-host false since by default it will try to use document.location and figure out where to connect from there. On Windows at least that is some ms-appx:// URL which cannot be used to connect the shadow-cljs websocket. So we disable the default which will make it use localhost instead. This works fine for Windows but other platforms might require tweaking the :devtools-url config option in case the generated "app" does not run on the same machine (eg. mobile device or emulator).
crosswalk host setup link
crosswalk is the new way to make html/js based android apps that give somewhat good performance, at least that is what I have heard. To try it out I have to install it. But due it being so unknown, NO tag here for it, there are no indepth guides of what to do and especially what to do if something goes wrong. And there are tons of little steps needed, so workflow isn't optimized either. Since all technical sites say ask question here if have any problems I am going to.
Whenever I install crosswalk start step "INSTALLING THE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS"...
I do this:
Install utilities (Check Have Git bash)
Install python (Already have it)
Install Java Dev Kit (Done)
Install Ant (never ending command line with beeping??)
So you can see I am stuck here...Ant step. The cli opens with tons encrypted text after this command:
curl http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.zip \-o ant.zip
The thing just keeps going on... So what should I do? is it how it's supposed to be?
Thanks in advance for any assistance. Or if you think I should just leave crosswalk forever or for now than let me know why you think that.
The solution is to NOT use git Bash or command line to download. Instead just take the link and download it which will take few second without making anything unresponsive. Compared to cli way where it'd just keep beeping. Once it's downloaded. Just move it to your user folder and extract it either with whatever program you have like winrar or cli.
I think I may be missing something, but I have installed the .apk on my android tablet with the script
<script src="http://localhost:8080/target/target-script-min.js#anonymous"></script>
in the header.
I decided to try running it locally following http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2623. I went to "localhost:8080" and weinre is installed, but I still get the same thing "target not found".
I think I am missing a step, or I am not completely understanding how it connects to my app?
I have also tried building it via build.phonegap.com enabling debug mode, then installing the apk then clicking debug, gosh the steps are nice and easy but I can't get it to work.
I have to be missing something, so I hope someone can help me understand what I am missing.
Solved: Thanks to #Christian Kuetbach following his answer helped, let me add a few things just in case someone else has this issue.
I made sure the script weinre gives you to add is loaded last, I put it at the very bottom, because I figured it should load after everything. Just did this to make sure.
Make sure to connect to weinre properly, #Christian Kuetbach says it --boundHost -all- but I had to enter it like this weinre --boundHost -all- maybe adding the weinre is an obvious thing, but it could cause confusion, so make sure to do that I am running on win8 if that makes a difference.
How did you start the weinre server part at the android device?
I think you'll nee to use the IP of you server (You Dev-Computer) in the HTML.
In case of Windows 8: https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=27309
In that example above the IP is 144.92.124.118
<script src="http://144.92.124.118:8080/target/target-script-min.js#anonymous"></script>
update
This will only work, if the device is online and in the same network as your PC and the firewall is configured to allow connections and weinre server is started with the parameter --boundHost -all-
Here's what I need to do,
I need to get the page source of a web page running inside the emulator.
The script that is going to perform the task is running in the local machine.
The script is made using monkeryrunner.
any ideas? thanks!
There is a blog post I read about this just the other day:
http://dtmilano.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/androidviewclient-getting-browsers-html.html
I believe it will only run in the emulator but you have that in your tags so it is likely this will do exactly what you want!
