Developer Connection

In order to install apps from the local SDK using the pebble tool or from CloudPebble, the Pebble Android or iOS app must be set up to allow a connection from the computer to the watch. This enables viewing logs and installing apps directly from the development environment, speeding up development.

Follow the steps illustrated below to get started.

Android Instructions

In the Pebble mobile app:

  • Open the overflow menu by tapping the three dot icon at the top right and tap Settings.

  • Enable the Developer Mode option.

  • Tap Developer Connection and enable the developer connection using the toggle at the top right.

  • If using the pebble tool, make note of the 'Server IP'. If using CloudPebble, this will be handled automatically.

iOS Instructions

In the Pebble mobile app:

  • Open the left-hand menu and tap the Settings item.

  • Enable the Developer Mode using the toggle.

  • Return to the menu, then tap the Developer item. Enable the Developer Connection using the toggle at the top-right.

  • If using the pebble tool, make note of the phone's 'Listening on' IP address. If using CloudPebble, this will be handled automatically.
