• Viwr aims at bridging the gaps in the current android app development ecosystem.
• Gaps in the current Ecosystem
• 1. Emulator sucks. Even if they are x86 emulators, they can't emulate the actual device experience. And using the device as a dev tool becomes difficult at times. Viwr helps Android developers to use their device as an emulator.
• 2. Using different Android SDK tools is super complicated. For example, fetching battery report requires a docker installation, a couple of command-line executions, dumping the report, then importing it into the docker installation (Refer: https://developer.android.com/st...).
• 3. Developers have to go through a lot of complicated configurations for simulating external factors like location, battery, network, etc.
• 4. There is no one single report that we can look at to measure the performance of an Android app.
• The core mission of Viwr is
• 1. Help developers to use their Android devices as a complete App Development tool.
• 2. Give an all in one solution to quantify the performance of their Android app.
• 3. One-click mocking of Location, Battery, Network conditions for the Android device.
• Upcoming features
• 1. Automated security checks for APK.
• 1. All in one network inspector. No more complicated setup (Charles proxy, Wireshark)
• Some sample reports:
• 1. Facebook: https://reports.viwr.app/?id=0fb...
• 2. Instagram: https://reports.viwr.app/?id=c1d...
• 3. Airbnb: https://reports.viwr.app/?id=483...
• Currently, Viwr is available for Mac. Register on https://viwr.app for getting updates.
