Question about mobile phone testing for development:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I configured on my ancient now MBP with Homebrew HTTPD server with SSL. I have secured sites locally to 127.0.0.1 (localhost):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/inye.peter.test\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/zimbini.peter.test\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/zinthathu.peter.test\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Of course, these sites will not work – I’m meaning you. Dunny. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n So in reality they map to the WLAN WIFI<\/p>\n\n\n\n http:\/\/192.168.172.24:7010\/<\/a> (inye)<\/p>\n\n\n\n http:\/\/192.168.172.24:7020\/ <\/a> (zimbini)<\/p>\n\n\n\n http:\/\/192.168.172.24:7030\/ <\/a> (zinthathu)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I can reach all of these on my localhost Firefox\/Safari\/Chrome. I created the SSL , mkcert yadda yadda, setup httpd-vhost.conf – beautiful blue skies: I see closed padlocks and confirmation that the above sites are secure. Fantastico!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, I want to use my iPhone and iPad to my test my websites, so I enter into the browser text panel any of these URLs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/inye.peter.test\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/zimbini.peter.test\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/zinthathu.peter.test\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n That will not work, because it needs a local DNS(?), so I set up I thought <\/p>\n It does not work. I then tried using DeepSeek AI a suggestion in the <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why is this not working? Is it the firewall on Mac? No. Default MBP firewall is deactivated. Ah ha! Maybe the MacOSX DNS needs a reset.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tried to the access on the iPhone to the SSL link. Nothing. Nada.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes. I added to my iPhone WIFI connection a Manual DNS slot of 192.168.172.24 (my MBP’s IP address on the LAN)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes. My iPhone is on the same WIFI LAN.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And out of love. I have no idea. KEINE AHNUNG ABSOLUT-BALLS. This is where I need PLATFORM OPERATIONS (PlatOps). Damn. I don’t work there anymore where I can slack dem ras rastas!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n How do you mobile UX guys actually test web apps. I used to sit next to many guys \/ gals who were fumbling around with 15 handsets once upon a time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n By the way.
